I need some help on how to implement a [jquery-ui autocomplete][jquery-ui] in my Rails app.

I want to add autocompletion to a text field where the user can enter in a customer name. As there can be hundreds of customers, I will need to pull the suggested auto-completion values &#39;remotely&#39;, as in, from a table (at least this is what I understand).

The main point I am failing to understand is how to provide the suggested values to the autocompletion textbox. I have read the jquery-ui docs, but I seem to be a bit dense on this matter.

So what I am really after is an example of how I can get this to work in a Rails app, not necessarily a full description of how the javascript is built (that&#39;s what the jquery-ui team has done for me =) ).

For example, how do I prepare the data for the autocompletion, and how do I attach the autocompletion functionality to a textbox.

How to set-up jquery-ui autocomplete in Rails

[Fiddle](http://jsfiddle.net/Shmoyojoe/dmsrY/28/)

I&#39;m trying to style the sections inside the AutoComplete, but I don&#39;t know what to put in the CSS *for* the sections. I&#39;m specifically trying to make:

    color: #96f226;
    border-radius: 0px;
    border: 1px solid #454545;


Any suggestions???

Styling JQuery UI Autocomplete

Using jQuery 2.1.0 and jQuery.ui 1.11.0 Tested in iOS 7. iPhone and iPad Mini. Works on android and regular browsers.


The problem
-----------------
We recently upgraded from jQuery UI 1.10.0 to 1.11.0 and now, when clicking an item in an autocomplete results list, you only get a hover, you have to click the same element again to get a click event. This used to work fine with version 1.10.0.

*(JSFiddle link in comments)*



What does not work
-----------------
using css `{cursor: pointer}` does not work

using `onclick=&quot;&quot;` does not work

*(JSFiddle link in comments)*



The weird part
-----------------
But here comes the fun/weird part. It works in JSFiddle *edit* view, but not on the JSFiddle &quot;/show&quot; page.

**JSFiddles:** *(type a letter to show results &quot;s&quot; is a good one)*

- [Html view](http://jsfiddle.net/35rmk2p6/4/show) (does not work)

- [Edit view](http://jsfiddle.net/35rmk2p6/4/) (works)

I&#39;ve been working on this for days, but hadn&#39;t been able to reproduce it in JSFiddle before testing only the html view. So now I turn to you. I can&#39;t for the life of me figure out why the one page triggers a click event, and the other does not.

I am using the most basic function of jQuery autocomplete. In fact, using the exact same code that is presented on jQuery UI&#39;s home page.



The question
-----------------
So, how do I get autocomplete to work with one click in iOS on the /show page?

*(I will post additional links in comments because I don&#39;t have 10 rep yet. Unless I don&#39;t have enough rep to comment...)*

Autocomplete requires you to click twice in iOS after update to 1.11.0

I&#39;m trying to find a working example of the [twitter bootstrap typeahead][1] element that will make an ajax call to populate it&#39;s dropdown. 

I have an existing working jquery autocomplete example which defines the ajax url to and how to process the reply

    &lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;
    //&lt;![CDATA[
    $(document).ready(function() {
        var options = { minChars:3, max:20 };
        $(&quot;#runnerquery&quot;).autocomplete(&#39;./index/runnerfilter/format/html&#39;,options).result(
			    function(event, data, formatted)
				    {
					    window.location = &quot;./runner/index/id/&quot;+data[1];
				    }
			    );
           ..

What do i need change to convert this to the typeahead example? 

    &lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;
    //&lt;![CDATA[
    $(document).ready(function() {
        var options = { source:&#39;/index/runnerfilter/format/html&#39;, items:5 };
        $(&quot;#runnerquery&quot;).typeahead(options).result(
                function(event, data, formatted)
				    {
					    window.location = &quot;./runner/index/id/&quot;+data[1];
				    }
			    );
           ..

I&#39;m going to wait for the &#39;[Add remote sources support for typeahead][2]&#39; issue to be resolved.

twitter bootstrap typeahead ajax example

I’m using the [jQuery UI Autocomplete plug-in][1]. Is there a way to highlight search character sequence in drop-down results?

For example, if I have “foo bar” as data and I type &quot;foo&quot; I’ll get “**foo** bar” in the drop-down, like this:

[![“Breakfast” appears after “Bre” is typed with “Bre” having a bold type and “akfast” having a light one.][2]][2]

The max parameter doesn&#39;t work and I still get more than 10 results. Am I missing something?

How to get jQuery dropdown value onchange event

I&#39;m developing a form, and using jQuery UI Autocomplete.  When the user selects an option, I want the selection to pop into a span appended to the parent `&lt;p&gt;` tag.  Then I want the field to clear rather than be populated with the selection.  

I have the span appearing just fine, but I can&#39;t get the field to clear.

How do you cancel jQuery UI Autocomplete&#39;s default select action?

Here is my code:

    var availableTags = [&quot;cheese&quot;, &quot;milk&quot;, &quot;dairy&quot;, &quot;meat&quot;, &quot;vegetables&quot;, &quot;fruit&quot;, &quot;grains&quot;];
    $(&quot;[id^=item-tag-]&quot;).autocomplete({
        source: availableTags,
			
        select: function(){
            var newTag = $(this).val();
            $(this).val(&quot;&quot;);
            $(this).parent().append(&quot;&lt;span&gt;&quot; + newTag + &quot;&lt;a href=\&quot;#\&quot;&gt;[x]&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&quot;);
        }
    });

Simply doing `$(this).val(&quot;&quot;);` doesn&#39;t work.  What is maddening is that almost the exact function works fine if I ignore autocomplete, and just take action when the user types a comma as such:

    $(&#39;[id^=item-tag-]&#39;).keyup(function(e) {
        if(e.keyCode == 188) {
            var newTag = $(this).val().slice(0,-1);
            $(this).val(&#39;&#39;);
            $(this).parent().append(&quot;&lt;span&gt;&quot; + newTag + &quot;&lt;a href=\&quot;#\&quot;&gt;[x]&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&quot;);
        }
    });

The real end result is to get autocomplete to work with multiple selections.  If anybody has any suggestions for that, they would be welcome.

Clear form field after select for jQuery UI Autocomplete

Before you point me to them, yes, I have reviewed the half dozen posts on this topic, but I am still stymied as to why this doesn&#39;t work.

My goal is to detect when the autocomplete yields 0 results. Here&#39;s the code:

     $.ajax({
       url:&#39;sample_list.foo2&#39;,
       type: &#39;get&#39;,
       success: function(data, textStatus, XMLHttpRequest) {
          var suggestions=data.split(&quot;,&quot;);
       
      $(&quot;#entitySearch&quot;).autocomplete({ 
        source: suggestions,
        minLength: 3,
        select: function(e, ui) {  
         entityAdd(ui.item.value);
         },
        open: function(e, ui) { 
         console.log($(&quot;.ui-autocomplete li&quot;).size());
         },
        search: function(e,ui) {
         console.log(&quot;search returned: &quot; + $(&quot;.ui-autocomplete li&quot;).size());
         
        },
        close: function(e,ui) {  
         console.log(&quot;on close&quot; +  $(&quot;.ui-autocomplete li&quot;).size());    
         $(&quot;#entitySearch&quot;).val(&quot;&quot;);
        }
       }); 
       
      $(&quot;#entitySearch&quot;).autocomplete(&quot;result&quot;, function(event, data) {
       
       if (!data) { alert(&#39;nothing found!&#39;); }

      })
     }
    }); 



The search itself works fine, I can get results to appear without a problem. As I understand it, I *should* be able to intercept the results with the autocomplete(&quot;result&quot;) handler. In this case, it never fires at all. (Even a generic alert or console.log that doesn&#39;t reference the number of results never fires). The open event handler shows the correct number of results (when there are results), and the search and close event handlers report a result size that is always one step behind. 

I feel like I&#39;m missing something obvious and glaring here but I just don&#39;t see it. 



Detecting no results on jQuery UI autocomplete

Im having troubles trying to get the autocomplete to work properly.

It all looks ok to me but....

    &lt;script&gt;
    $(function () {
        $(&quot;#customer-search&quot;).autocomplete({
            source: &#39;Customer/GetCustomerByName&#39;,
            minLength: 3,
            select: function (event, ui) {
                $(&quot;#customer-search&quot;).val(ui.item.label);
                $(&quot;#selected-customer&quot;).val(ui.item.label);
            }
        });
    });
    &lt;/script&gt;
    &lt;div&gt;
    &lt;input id=&quot;customer-search&quot; /&gt;
     &lt;/div&gt;
    @Html.Hidden(&quot;selected-customer&quot;)

However when I select an item from the dropdown the value is been applied to the textbox instead of the label.

What have I done wrong?

If I look at the source using firebug I can see that my hidden field is being updated correctly.

Autocomplete applying value not label to textbox

Before [jQuery UI][1] 1.8.4 I could use [HTML][2] in the JSON array I built to work with an autocomplete.

I was able to do something like:

    $row_array[&#39;label&#39;] = &#39;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red; font-family: courier;&quot;&gt;User, Name&lt;/span&gt;&#39;;

That would show up as red text in the drop down.

As of 1.8.4 that does not work. I found [http://dev.jqueryui.com/ticket/5275][3] which tells me to use the custom HTML example [here][4] which I have had no luck with.

How can I go about getting HTML to show up in the suggestion?

My jQuery is:

    &lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;
        $(function() {
            $(&quot;#findUserIdDisplay&quot;).autocomplete({
                source: &quot;ui_autocomplete_users_withuname.php&quot;,
                minLength: 2,
                select: function(event, ui) {
                    $(&#39;#findUserId&#39;).val(ui.item.id);
                }
            });
        });
    &lt;/script&gt;

My JSON array includes HTML like the following:

    [{&quot;label&quot;:&quot;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red&quot;;&gt;User, Name&lt;/span&gt;&quot;,&quot;value&quot;:&quot;User, Name&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;10&quot;}]

Using HTML in jQuery UI autocomplete

I need a little bit help with JQuery UI Autocomplete. I want my textfield (`.suggest-user`) display names from an AJAX request. This is what I have:

    jQuery(&quot;input.suggest-user&quot;).autocomplete({
        source : function(request, response) {
            var name = jQuery(&quot;input.suggest-user&quot;).val();
            jQuery.get(&quot;usernames.action?query=&quot; + name, function(data) {
                console.log(data);  // Ok, I get the data. Data looks like that:
                test = data;        // [&quot;one@abc.de&quot;, &quot;onf@abc.de&quot;,&quot;ong@abc.de&quot;]
                return test;        // But what now? How do I display my data?
            });
        },
        minLength : 3
    });

Any help is very much appreciated.

How to use source: function()... and AJAX in JQuery UI autocomplete

I have implemented a jQuery UI Autocomplete box, and rather than being the width of the textbox, the dropdown options are expanding to fill the remaining width of the page.

Have a look at this example to see it for yourself: http://jsbin.com/ojoxa4

I have tried setting the width of the list immediately after creating it, like so:

    $(&#39;.ui-autocomplete:last&#39;).css(&#39;width&#39;,
                                   $(&#39;#currentControlID&#39;).width()
                                  );

This appears to do nothing.

I have also tried setting the width using on-page styles:

    ui-autocomplete { width: 500px; }

This DOES work, amazingly, however it would mean that all autocompletes on a page would have to be the same width, which is not ideal.

Is there a way to set the width of each menu individually? Or better, can anyone explain why the widths are not working correctly for me?

jQuery UI Autocomplete Width Not Set Correctly

I have a display problem in the jQuery autocomplete inside a modal dialog bootstrap.

When I mouse scroll, the results do not remain attached to the input.

Is there a way to solve this?

Here [JsFiddle][1]:

    .ui-autocomplete-input {
      border: none; 
      font-size: 14px;
      width: 300px;
      height: 24px;
      margin-bottom: 5px;
      padding-top: 2px;
      border: 1px solid #DDD !important;
      padding-top: 0px !important;
      z-index: 1511;
      position: relative;
    }

**EDIT**
I found the problem:

    .ui-autocomplete {
      position: fixed;
      .....
    }

If the modal has scroll the issue remains!

Autocomplete issue into bootstrap modal

This seems to be a black hole: After an hour of searching the [jQuery UI][1] website, Stack&amp;nbsp;Overflow, and googling, I&#39;ve yet to find the most basic information of how to write the *server side* of the AutoComplete.

What parameter is passed to the server and what should the JSON response look like?

I must be missing something, because how did everyone else learn how to do this? Sites only seem to discuss the client-side JavaScript code and never the protocol or server-side examples.

I need enough to get the simplest remote example working.

What does autocomplete request/server response look like?

I&#39;m looking into using the [jQuery UI autocomplete][1] widget to implement user lookup by first or last name. It looks like by default autocomplete looks up words by character sequence no matter its occurrence in a word. So if you have data such as: `javascript, asp, haskell` and you type in `&#39;as&#39;` you will get all three.  I would like it to only match beginning of the word. So in above example you get only `&#39;asp&#39;`. Is there a way to configure the autocomplete widget to do this?

Ultimately it would be even better to [match by beginning of first or last name][2] like it is in Gmail.


Note: I&#39;m trying to figure out a way to do this using the jQuery UI widget specifically. Since I&#39;m already using jQuery UI in my project, I&#39;m planning to stick with it and try not adding additional libraries to my web application.

jQuery UI Autocomplete widget search configuration

I&#39;m using the JQuery Autocomplete in one of my forms.

The basic form selects products from my database. This works great, but I&#39;d like to further develop so that only products shipped from a certain zipcode are returned. I&#39;ve got the backend script figured out. I just need to work out the best way to pass the zipcode to this script.

This is how my form looks.

    &lt;form&gt;
    
    &lt;select id=&quot;zipcode&quot;&gt;
    
    &lt;option value=&quot;2000&quot;&gt;2000&lt;/option&gt;
    &lt;option value=&quot;3000&quot;&gt;3000&lt;/option&gt;
    &lt;option value=&quot;4000&quot;&gt;4000&lt;/option&gt;
    
    &lt;/select&gt;
    
    &lt;input type=&quot;text&quot; id=&quot;product&quot;/&gt;
    
    &lt;input type=&quot;submit&quot;/&gt;
    
    &lt;/form&gt;

And here is the JQuery code:


    $(&quot;#product&quot;).autocomplete
    ({
         source:&quot;product_auto_complete.php?postcode=&quot; + $(&#39;#zipcode&#39;).val() +&quot;&amp;&quot;,
         minLength: 2,
         select: function(event, ui){
            	
            		             //action
    	
                                     }
    });



This code works to an extent. But only returns the first zipcode value regardless of which value is actually selected. I guess what&#39;s happening is that the source URL is primed on page load rather than when the select menu is changed. Is there a way around this? Or is there a better way overall to achieve the result I&#39;m after?

How do I pass an extra parameter to Jquery Autocomplete field?

I&#39;m trying to use jQuery UI Autocomplete to bring up a list of names of people in a MySQL Database. The basic function is working - when you type in two or more letters a list of possible names is displayed - but when I hover the mouse over the list or press the down key to access the list, it disappears (2 screenshots below may help to explain this).

What this means is that the Autocomplete becomes pointless as I can&#39;t actually access the list! If anyone can help I&#39;d be most appreciative! Screenshots and code are posted below.

*Type in the first few characters and the menu appears*

*But hover the mouse or press the &#39;down&#39; key and it disappears before a selection can be made*

    $text = $mysqli-&gt;real_escape_string($_GET[&#39;term&#39;]);
 
    $query = &quot;SELECT name FROM users WHERE name LIKE &#39;%$text%&#39; ORDER BY name ASC&quot;;
    $result = $mysqli-&gt;query($query);
    $json = &#39;[&#39;;
    $first = true;
    while($row = $result-&gt;fetch_assoc())
    {
    if (!$first) { $json .=  &#39;,&#39;; } else { $first = false; }
    $json .= &#39;{&quot;value&quot;:&quot;&#39;.$row[&#39;name&#39;].&#39;&quot;}&#39;;
    }
    $json .= &#39;]&#39;;
    echo $json;

jQuery UI Autocomplete - menu disappears on hover

I have the following script which works with a 1 dimensional array.  Is it possible to get this to work with a 2 dimensional array?  Then whichever item is selected, by clicking on a second button on the page, should display the id of whichever item is selected.

This is the script with the 1 dimensional array:

    var $local_source = [&quot;c++&quot;, &quot;java&quot;, &quot;php&quot;, &quot;coldfusion&quot;, &quot;javascript&quot;, &quot;asp&quot;, &quot;ruby&quot;];
    $(&quot;#txtAllowSearch&quot;).autocomplete({
        source: $local_source
    });

This is the script for the button to check the id, which is incomplete:

    $(&#39;#button&#39;).click(function() {
        // alert($(&quot;#txtAllowSearch&quot;).someone_get_id_of_selected_item);
    });
