I can not populate JQuery Autocomplete input with a json request to cakephp

I am using JQuery autocomplete to send a json request to my cakephp application, the javascript code is from http://jqueryui.com/autocomplete/
$(function() {
function split( val ) {
return val.split( /,\s*/ );
}
function extractLast( term ) {
return split( term ).pop();
}
$( "#tag-string" )
// don't navigate away from the field on tab when selecting an item
.bind( "keydown", function( event ) {
if ( event.keyCode === $.ui.keyCode.TAB &&
$( this ).autocomplete( "instance" ).menu.active ) {
event.preventDefault();
}
})
.autocomplete({
source:function(request, response){
$.getJSON("/articles/getTags/" + request.term + ".json", {
term : extractLast(request.term)
}, response);
},
search: function() {
// custom minLength
var term = extractLast( this.value );
if ( term.length < 1 ) {
return false;
}
},
focus: function() {
// prevent value inserted on focus
return false;
},
select: function( event, ui ) {
var terms = split( this.value );
// remove the current input
terms.pop();
// add the selected item
terms.push( ui.item.value );
// add placeholder to get the comma-and-space at the end
terms.push( "" );
this.value = terms.join( ", " );
return false;
}
});
});(jQuery);
if i run the XMLHttpRequests on the chrome js console (where "c" is the term to search for)
$.getJSON("/articles/getTags/c.json")
i get this response text:
responseText: "{↵ "tags": [↵ {↵ "tag": "Calles"↵ },↵ {↵ "tag": "Circulacion"↵ },↵ {↵ "tag": "cognicion"↵ },↵ {↵ "tag": "Creatividad"↵ }↵ ]↵}"
but the input field does not populate with this values.
This is what i get (i've uploaded an image because is the easiest way to explaint it) on the "Tag String" input field

finally solved.
the json response send to jquery autocomplete must be formated with "value" and "label".
var ac = [
{
label: "One Thing",
value: "One-Thing"
},
{
label: "Two Thing",
value: "Two-Thing"
},
]

JQuery run automatically when autocomplete textbox selected

I'm using AJAX to called data from another page then return it to a textbox. The trigger is came from a dropdown with autocomplete feature (You can see in here)
My AJAX is can work normally if I try it manually, but when I try to run this function when the autocomplete selected, it doesn't works.
Here's my AJAX code:
function getKonsumen()
{
var selname = $("select[name=konsumen]").val();
$.ajax({ url: "getData.php",
data: {"selname":selname},
type: 'post',
dataType: "json",
success: function(output) {
console.log(output);
$("#namak").val(output[2]);
$("#ktpk").val(output[3]);
$("#emailk").val(output[4]);
$("#hpk").val(output[5]);
$("#alamatk").val(output[6]);
$("#kotak").val(output[7]);
$("#datepicker3").val(output[8]);
}
});
}
And here's my HTML for dropdown:
<div class="form-group">
<label>Customer</label>
<div class="radio">
<label><input type="radio" name="kons" value="" checked="checked" />Dari Daftar</label>
<label style="padding-left: 50px; vertical-align:top;"><input type="radio" class="radioBtn" name="kons" value="baru" />Baru</label>
</div>
<select name="konsumen" id="combobox" class="konsumens">
<option value="">Please Choose</option>
<option value="baru">Create New</option>
<?php
$querycon = mysqli_query($conn, "SELECT * FROM m_customer WHERE customer_status='1'");
while($rowcon = mysqli_fetch_array($querycon, MYSQLI_ASSOC))
{
$nik = sprintf("%s%"."04d", $rowcon['customer_no'], $rowcon['customer_id']);
?>
//get customer list from DB
<option value="<?php echo $rowcon['customer_id']; ?>" onClick="getkons();"><?php echo $nik. ' | ' .$rowcon['customer_name']; ?></option>
<?php
}
?>
</select>
</div>
Last, my JQuery code for autocomplete (got it from jquery web)
(function( $ ) {
$.widget( "custom.combobox", {
_create: function() {
this.wrapper = $( "<span>" )
.addClass( "custom-combobox" )
.insertAfter( this.element );
this.element.hide();
this._createAutocomplete();
this._createShowAllButton();
},
_createAutocomplete: function() {
var selected = this.element.children( ":selected" ),
value = selected.val() ? selected.text() : "";
this.input = $( "<input>" )
.appendTo( this.wrapper )
.val( value )
.attr( "title", "" )
.attr( "id", "sicombo" )
.addClass( "custom-combobox-input ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-state-default ui-corner-left" )
.autocomplete({
delay: 0,
minLength: 0,
source: $.proxy( this, "_source" )
})
.tooltip({
tooltipClass: "ui-state-highlight"
});
this._on( this.input, {
autocompleteselect: function( event, ui ) {
ui.item.option.selected = true;
this._trigger( "select", event, {
item: ui.item.option
});
},
autocompletechange: "_removeIfInvalid"
});
},
_createShowAllButton: function() {
var input = this.input,
wasOpen = false;
$( "<a>" )
.attr( "tabIndex", -1 )
.attr( "title", "Show All Items" )
.attr( "id", "sicombo2")
.tooltip()
.appendTo( this.wrapper )
.button({
icons: {
primary: "ui-icon-triangle-1-s"
},
text: false
})
.removeClass( "ui-corner-all" )
.addClass( "custom-combobox-toggle ui-corner-right" )
.mousedown(function() {
wasOpen = input.autocomplete( "widget" ).is( ":visible" );
})
.click(function() {
input.focus();
// Close if already visible
if ( wasOpen ) {
return;
}
// Pass empty string as value to search for, displaying all results
input.autocomplete( "search", "" );
});
},
_source: function( request, response ) {
var matcher = new RegExp( $.ui.autocomplete.escapeRegex(request.term), "i" );
response( this.element.children( "option" ).map(function() {
var text = $( this ).text();
if ( this.value && ( !request.term || matcher.test(text) ) )
return {
label: text,
value: text,
option: this
};
}) );
},
_removeIfInvalid: function( event, ui ) {
// Selected an item, nothing to do
if ( ui.item ) {
return;
}
// Search for a match (case-insensitive)
var value = this.input.val(),
valueLowerCase = value.toLowerCase(),
valid = false;
this.element.children( "option" ).each(function() {
if ( $( this ).text().toLowerCase() === valueLowerCase ) {
this.selected = valid = true;
return false;
}
});
// Found a match, nothing to do
if ( valid ) {
getKonsumen();
return;
}
// Remove invalid value
this.input
.val( "" )
.attr( "title", value + " didn't match any item" )
.tooltip( "open" );
this.element.val( "" );
this._delay(function() {
this.input.tooltip( "close" ).attr( "title", "" );
}, 2500 );
this.input.autocomplete( "instance" ).term = "";
},
_destroy: function() {
this.wrapper.remove();
this.element.show();
}
});
})( jQuery );
$(function() {
$( "#combobox" ).combobox();
});
So, anyone can help me to make my ajax run when the autocomplete selected?

$('#combobox').change(function() {
//Do whatever you want
});
This will trigger any time someone changes the value of the autocomplete select box

Finally I found answer to my problem, here's my solution, find : ui.item.option.selected = true; then I add this line of code to call the function when autocomplete clicked : ui.item.option.onclick = getKonsumen();
it's all done....

How to stop jQuery autocomplete from autosuggesting the full array in multiple values option

Using jQuery autocomplete multiple values option, how can I prevent autosuggestion for every new word.
The problem is that it shows the entire array when you press "space" which slow down (hang) some browsers when using a large array.
Increasing the .minLength value works for the first word, but once you press space it shows the entire array.
How do I stop it from doing that.

}
})
.autocomplete({
minLength: 3,
source: function( request, response ) {
// delegate back to autocomplete, but extract the last term
response( $.ui.autocomplete.filter(
availableTags, extractLast( request.term ) ) );
},
focus: function() {
// prevent value inserted on focus
return false;
},
select: function( event, ui ) {
var terms = split( this.value );
// remove the current input
terms.pop();
// add the selected item
terms.push( ui.item.value );
// add placeholder to get the comma-and-space at the end
terms.push( "" );
this.value = terms.join( ", " );
return false;
}
});
});
</script>

You can check for empty string in request parameter in autocomplete source method like below
if(request.term===' ')
{
response([{value: "Enter Some text to search"}]);
return false;
}
Take a look at this jqfaq working sample which may helps you

add this litte if-statement to your source-function
if (extractLast( request.term ).replace(/ /g, "") == "") {
return false;
}
here is a plunker as well.

jquery autocomplete not found in app rails

I work on a rails project and I have a problem with a plugin of jquery : autocomplete.
I try to implemete a search engine with multiple word, I include in my webpage 1.8.0.min.js and the plugin autocomplete (jquery-ui-1.8.23.custom.min.js) and the code below in another .js include too:
$(document).ready(function(){
var availableTags = [
"ActionScript",
"AppleScript",
"Asp",
"BASIC",
"C",
"C++",
"Clojure",
"COBOL",
"ColdFusion",
"Erlang",
"Fortran",
"Groovy",
"Haskell",
"Java",
"JavaScript",
"Lisp",
"Scheme"
];
function split( val ) {
return val.split( /,\s*/ );
}
function extractLast( term ) {
return split( term ).pop();
}
$( "#search" ).bind( "keydown", function( event ) {
if ( event.keyCode === $.ui.keyCode.TAB &&
$( this ).data( "autocomplete" ).menu.active ) {
event.preventDefault();
}
})
.autocomplete({
minLength: 0,
source: function( request, response ) {
// delegate back to autocomplete, but extract the last term
response( $.ui.autocomplete.filter(
availableTags, extractLast( request.term ) ) );
},
focus: function() {
// prevent value inserted on focus
return false;
},
select: function( event, ui ) {
var terms = split( this.value );
// remove the current input
terms.pop();
// add the selected item
terms.push( ui.item.value );
// add placeholder to get the comma-and-space at the end
terms.push( "" );
this.value = terms.join( ", " );
return false;
}
});
});
In my app this code don't work and firebug give me this warning:
TypeError: $("#search").bind("keydown", function (event) {if (event.keyCode === $.ui.keyCode.TAB && $(this).data("autocomplete").menu.active) {event.preventDefault();}}).autocomplete is not a function
TypeError: $("#search").bind("keydown", function (e) {e.keyCode === $.ui.keyCode.TAB && $(this).data("autocomplete").menu.active && e.preventDefault();}).autocomplete is not a function
When I test this outside of my app it's work.
I'm on Mandriva 12.04 TLS, and a use firefox 15.0.

How to make dependant multiple selectable autocomplete using jQuery ui autocomplete

I am using jquery-ui's autocomplete in my project. It works great. Now I want to add autocomplete that is dependant on a previous select option.
I have one select and a text input with autocomplete.
<select id='type'>
<option value='languages'>Languages</option>
<option value='OS'>Operating Systems</option>
</select>
<input type='text' id='tags' />
I use a similar function for the autocomplete and it works.
$(function() {
var languages = [
"ActionScript",
"AppleScript",
"Asp",
"Scheme"
];
var os = [
"Windows",
"Mac OS X",
"Chrome",
];
function split( val ) {
return val.split( /,\s*/ );
}
function extractLast( term ) {
return split( term ).pop();
}
$( "#tags" )
// don't navigate away from the field on tab when selecting an item
.bind( "keydown", function( event ) {
if ( event.keyCode === $.ui.keyCode.TAB &&
$( this ).data( "autocomplete" ).menu.active ) {
event.preventDefault();
}
})
.autocomplete({
minLength: 0,
source: function( request, response ) {
// delegate back to autocomplete, but extract the last term
response( $.ui.autocomplete.filter(
languages, extractLast( request.term ) ) );
},
focus: function() {
// prevent value inserted on focus
return false;
},
select: function( event, ui ) {
var terms = split( this.value );
// remove the current input
terms.pop();
// add the selected item
terms.push( ui.item.value );
// add placeholder to get the comma-and-space at the end
terms.push( "" );
this.value = terms.join( ", " );
return false;
}
});
});
How can I link it to my onchange event of the previous select. So when I select operating systems. The autocomplete changes the array from languages to os.
I appreciate any help.

Try something along the following. You'll also need to restructure how your suggestion array is formatted slightly so it's more workable!
$("#type").change(function() {
var source = $(this).val().toLowerCase();
$("#tags").source(function( request, response ) {
// delegate back to autocomplete, but extract the last term
response( $.ui.autocomplete.filter(
sources[source], extractLast( request.term ) ) );
});
});
var sources = {
"languages": [
"ActionScript",
"AppleScript",
"Asp",
"Scheme"
],
"os": [
"Windows",
"Mac OS X",
"Chrome",
]
};
