I am wondering how to grab the selected item's text value on jquery autocomplete.
I have initialised jquery as following :
$(document).ready(function (){
$("input#autocomplete").autocomplete({
source: postcodelist,
select: function (event, ui) {
AutoCompleteSelectHandler(event, ui)
}
});
});
And I have created a function function AutoCompleteSelectHandler(event, ui) { }.
Inside this function I want to some extra handling to feed data into correct textboxes but I can't figure out how to grab the text value of the selected item.
I did google a bit and tried examples but I can't seem to get it working.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks a lot advance.
The ui parameter has an item property with the selected text
function AutoCompleteSelectHandler(event, ui)
{
var selectedObj = ui.item;
alert(selectedObj.value);
}
source: http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/#event-select go to tab "Events" and then event "Select"
// list of clients
$( "#client" ).autocomplete({
source: "lib/getClientList.php",
minLength: 2,
select: function(event, ui) {
alert(ui.item.value);
}
})
;
The ui.item.value is the reference that jquery utilizes to assign a value to the input
You don't need to apply an anonymous function as a wrap, you can directly pass the function ref.
$(document).ready(function (){
$("input#autocomplete").autocomplete({
source: postcodelist,
select: AutoCompleteSelectHandler
});
});
Within that method, you can either access this or event.target to get the current value, both values are referencing the input element:
function AutoCompleteSelectHandler(event, ui) {
alert( $(event.target).val() );
alert( $(this).val() );
// alert( this.value );
}
You just grab the value from the input in the same way you would if the user had typed it in themself:
$('input#autocomplete').val()

Demo and full code is like this :
http://jsfiddle.net/9R4cV/685/
I using like this :
$('#customer').on('change', function() {
$('#customer_copy').val($(this).val());
});
But it's not working
Any solution to solve my problem?
You need to trigger .change() (or .trigger('change')) on input value changes, otherwise programatically changes are not triggering events.
The id of your input is #customer not #customer_name.
$( "#tags" ).autocomplete({
source: aTags,
select: function(event, ui) {
$("#customer").val(ui.item.label).change();
}
});
$('#customer').on('change', function() {
$('#customer_copy').val($(this).val());
});
Working example.
Why not change the #customer_copy directly when item selected?
$( "#tags" ).autocomplete({
source: aTags,
select: function( event, ui ) {
console.log(ui.item.label);
$("#customer").val(ui.item.label);
$("#customer_copy").val(ui.item.label)
}
});
I am using the jQuery ui menu and this function to keep track of what menu item is selected:
$(document).ready(function(){
$( "#menu" ).menu({
select: function(event, ui) {
alert(ui.item.text());
}
});
});
Is there a way to make their selection into a global scope variable? Currently doing everything in this function is getting messy.
Thanks
I'm not completely sure what you are asking for but would either of these changes help?
var tj_currently_selected_text;
function tj_process_select(event, ui){
alert('old selected text = '+tj_currently_selected_text);
tj_currently_selected_text = ui.item.text();
alert(tj_currently_selected_text);
}
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#menu").menu({
select: tj_process_select
});
})
I'm now developing a website that can drag elements and drop into a table cells (each cell has its "ID")
Now I can drag and drop the element to the cells but I want to know
How to get the ID of table cell where I dropped the element?
here's the picture's concept.
Suppose that cell's ID are the combination of row and column number.
At first you need to rename yours IDs because one ID can't start with a number. You neet at lest one letter, example "ID11" "ID12" ...
Than what are the Cells? div? Td? Input?
Can you a jsfiddle ?
-Edit.
you need something like thise:
jsfiddle
you must only change your skript to:
$(function() {
$("#draggable").draggable({ snap: ".drop"});
$(".drop").droppable({
drop: function(event, ui){
console.log("Dropped to" + $(".drop").attr("id"));
$( this )
.addClass( "ui-state-highlight" )
.find( "p" )
.html( "Dropped!" );
}
});
});
Here is the working fiddle.
Try something like this:
$(function() {
$("#draggable").draggable({ snap: ".drop"});
$(".drop").droppable({
drop: function(event, ui){
console.log($(this).attr('id'));
}
});
});
Check this fiddle.
First you need to enable the table cells to be dragged to by defining ondragover event callback. In the fiddle:
box.ondragover = function (evt) { evt.preventDefault(); };
preventDefault ensures that the browser does not set a dropdown lock on the element.
Then you simply play around with the event data, like this:
box.ondrop = function (evt) { droppedTo.innerHTML = evt.toElement.id; };
toElement holds reference to the element that you drop on, and you can get all the data you need from it, including id.
You need to change your script like this
$(function () {
$("#draggable").draggable({
snap: ".drop"
});
$(".drop").droppable({
drop: function (event, ui) {
alert($(this).attr("id"));
console.log("Dropped to " + $(this).attr("id"));
}
});
});
Change from $(".drop").attr("id") to $(this).attr("id") to get the id of the element that you are dropping into :)
Example http://jsfiddle.net/81ja79Ls/4/
I'm using selectable() from jQuery it works just the way i want it.
But i want to go to the next step, i want it to select the message too inside the main chat.
So the text of the selected nickname will highlight too in the main chat.
JsFiddle http://jsfiddle.net/56SkH/13/
UPDATE
What i wanna to do is that when Nickname is selected from users that the channelmessage automaticly is being selected from the users.
$(function() {
$('#users').selectable({
selected: function(event, ui) {
var user = ui.selected.id.toLowerCase();
$('.channelmessage.'+user).addClass('ui-selected');
},
unselected: function(event, ui) {
$('.channelmessage').removeClass('ui-selected');
},
});
});
DEMO: http://jsfiddle.net/56SkH/23/
Try this - On click of each name corresponding message also selected using 'stop' property of selectable().
$(function () {
$("#users").selectable({
stop: function () {
$("#users li").each(function (key) {
$("#Nickname" +(key+1)+ "_message").css({"background":"white","color":"black"});
});
$(".ui-selected", this).each(function (key) {
var index = $( "#users li" ).index( this );
$("#Nickname" +(index + 1)+ "_message").css({"background":"#F39814","color":"white"});
});
}
});
});
It's easy to add a dummy class to each chat message, and the selector will be more efficient than searching for a name string.
$(function() {
$( '#users').selectable({
filter: "li",
selecting: function( event, ui ) {
$(".ui-selected").removeClass("ui-selected");
$('.channelmessage span.message.' + ui.selecting.id).addClass("ui-selected");
}
});
});
Here you have a working JSFiddle sample:
http://jsfiddle.net/56SkH/21/
You can force the selection on the element by adding the class ui-selected and using the selected event:
$(function () {
$('#users').selectable({
selected: function (event, ui) {
$(".channelmessage span.nickname.ui-selected").removeClass("ui-selected");
$(".channelmessage span.nickname:contains('" + ui.selected.id + "')").addClass("ui-selected");
}
});
});
In the example I use the span content as contains selctor, by I have modified a bit the HTML markup like:
<p class="channelmessage"> <span class="nickname">Nickname2</span><span>:</span>
<span class="message">Message</span>
</p>

okay iM using jquery autocomplete and Everything works fine but I want it to trigger the search button when a suggestion is selected. the code i have is this.
$( "#tags" ).autocomplete({
source: availableTags
select: function (event, item)
{
if (event.keyCode == 13){
$('#IDofMYform').submit()
}
}
});
});
You should set the value to the form input before submitting. If you don't, your form is submitted before it has a chance to populate the input.
Something like :
$("#tags").autocomplete({
source: availableTags
select: function (event, ui) {
//Set the value
$(this).val(ui.item.value);
// Submit the form
$('#IDofMYform').submit();
}
});
