@Sonia — are you serious? This is free software, generously released to the public. Why don’t you make up your own demo page and share it with others? Or, just be quietly grateful.

Well this doesn’t make sense. With the plugin if you enter a ‘\’ after a couple characters it would cause a Javascript error. But this does not happen on your example suggest textbox.

Does this mean your processing the text in some way before you give it to the plugin? Could you document this?

Hi there!

I have installed the script like you have in your example, but it will not work in IE6&7. In FF, Opera and Safari it is fine, but in IE there are no results shown. I get no error report in IE oO

Some ideas?

great extension!!!
just a few suggestions:

1. It seems you save the popup position when the page loads, this may be better placed in the showSuggestions functions. The problem that I am having is that other javascript controls change the height of the page and mess with the suggest box position.

2. It would be great if there would be a way to add html into the results (perhaps as a settings). that way we could do cool things like add relevant images to our suggestions!

3. It would also be very useful if there was a method of adding results other than a URL for AJAX. This way we can generate suggestions programatically.

cheers

for those of you trying to do a suggest based on another selects output just make sure you call bind the calling the suggest init every time the select changes for example:

$(’#state’).bind(’change’, function() {
$(”#suburb”).suggest(”someurl/”+$(’#state’).val(), {
onSelect: function() {
$.get(’someurl/’, {suburb:$(’#suburb’).val()}, function(data) {
$(’#postcode’).val(data);
});
}
});
});
