var URL = this.currentElm.className.replace(/.*URL-([\w\/\?\.-]+).*/, “$1″);

Thanks in advance!

=)

Haven’t tested it, but if it works: great!

Aldo,

As the source is now, it doesn’t support some of those characters. This line needs to be tweaked to make it happen:

var URL = this.currentElm.className.replace(/.*URL-([\w\/\?\.-]+).*/, “$1″);.

Should be pretty easy to just add \: and perhaps something more, but I have a ton of other things to do at the moment. Sorry.

my test: input type=”text” class=”AJAX-suggestion URL-http://search.crafta.com/search-uni.php” (did not worked)

Roberto and all the other guys:
Is there a way to have the AJAX-suggestions script to work in multiple domains?

The tutorial shows to do it this way:

- It works great in the same domain, but what my website have many sub domains, like search.mypage.com, store.mypage.com, docs.mypage.com … in my particular case the only PHP enabled host is the search.mydomain.com so I cant call locally the search-uni.php from the other domain pages, so I tried this:

And it didn’t work… what do you recommend me to do?

Thanks in advance guys

1) Inside Href tag, put a separator like ‘|||” before the text you want to be in input text field after selection has been made.

i.e: a href=”|||1″ class=”item choose-value”

2) Open ajaxSuggestions.js. Search for “href” and replace the line and the next two with the following code:

var value = elm.getAttribute(”href”).split(escape(”|||”));
if(!new RegExp(value).test(input.value)){
input.value = ((input.value.length > 0 && /;/i.test(input.value))? (input.value + value[1]) : value[1]) + ajaxSuggestions.itemSeparator;
}

That’s it

Sorry, nothing has changed with the script. As my suggestion above, you need to change the code yourself if you need to alter it.

- is already fixed the IE7 (full URL in field) issue?
- if not, could you please give me a suggestion on how to tweak this code to add just the searched term to the input field?

thanks in advance!!

I’m sorry, but I’m doing no further work on this script. Feel free to alter to it your needs!

Plus why in other browsers does it add ; to the end of the string within the element once you have selected an item from the list items returned?

Real cool script! Thank you very much!!!

I’ve never used Prototype, but my guess is that they implement something which affect elements, thus it might result in unexpected behavior of some parts.

BUT: in the Moment i try to load prototype.js on the same page, i will get errors in IE and Suggestions does not work any longer.
Error message e.g. “‘this.elements.length’ is null or no object”. Any ideas how to work with it?

Happy New Year 2008.

To make sure AJAX calls work in IE, it has to be run on a server (IIS, Apache etc). Just opening files locally and trying to make AJAX requests in IE will just give you an error.

I tried running you demo (index.html) with IE7 and it gives me an error on line 147 - Access is denied.

“this.xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = this.getResults;”

It works as expected in Firefox.

Anything I have missed?

Personally, I don’t condole of custom attributes, since its invalid HTML code and there’s really no way to guarantee how it will work cross-browser and cross-platform.

Yes, that might be a good approach to it.
Good that it worked out for you tweaking it with textarea elements!

Anyhow, this is pretty nifty. I had to tweak it a little to get it to recognize textareas as well as input, but after that it worked quite excellently.
