SU autocompleter

Hi!

Is it possible to get back the real object using the scriptaculous autocompleter.

By default only the display string is set to the input field.

But i need the real selected instance from the dropdown list.

Gerhard

See PRAjaxSearchWidget, the search widget of Pier. It assigns a
passenger to each list item and seralized it back to the server.

Cheers,
Lukas

Hi Lukas!

It works, thanks a lot!

But i dont fully understand the magic of the selection handler!

Gerhard

selectionHandlerOn: html
^ html evaluator
  callback: [ :value | properties at: 'result' put: (html context callbacks at: value ifAbsent: [ nil ]) ]
   value: (SUStream new
    nextPutAll: 'arguments[1].id.match';
    argument: SUSortable passengerRegexp;
    nextPutAll: '[1]')

Gerhard,

we had a similar issue and implemented a server-side association / search for
the returned displayString. The idea behind it being that thus no additional
data gets sent around. While the implementation seems a bit like doing the same
thing more often than necessary, it keeps the code and http messaging leaner. At
list in our opinion. I think we shouldn't try to do everything in JS just
because one can ;-)
