for customer and suppplier it search for name,short name,address and tax id
customer branch - branch name
items - name, code category name

i just copied the function from core and added little tweak.

and about that search box,  i just left it unchanged . If i removed it some layout issues will come and more files will be involved.

@anoopmb - This is what i asked, This is awesome.  i have tested your program, it works fine.

I found one thing was missing from the core. Let me tel you here.

From sales invoice page,or items page. you can see a textbox before the drop down. When we type the item code like say for example if i type 101 with default US coa. it will get us first item automatically in the drop down. This you have override it. i mean its not working either in your auto complete and ajax auto complete versions.

While taking one step forward, we dont need that feature, if we can type the stock id to get the product in the list.

I mean, if you enable it to check the stock id for items, debtor no for customers, supplier id for suppliers to get the list working.  If you add it like this, i guess it would be perfect replace for the existing textbox item code search, and popup search box. quite simple textbox will filter the product from the list, whether its 1,00,000 or more than that, we dont need to worry,  FA will handle the items.

Once again, its a great job @Anoopmb. Congrats for the bold step to change the core concept.

I can't find the Ajax enable/disable option in the config.php file as you said in Post#7. Can you please recheck

I doubt you have uploaded the non ajax version in the drop box  because the zip file doesn't contain the word ajax. Sorry for disturbing you. Please double check.

I applied it to FA246. I am sure this is non Ajax Version.

This issue has resolved earlier (see post no 7 ) . Please use latest files

I didnt get it

I mean, the ajax driven autocomplete means, when a FA has more than 1,00,000 customers. and when a user has to pick a right customer is from the drop down is complicated. So your auto complete helps to get it from the list.  But the problem is , the select list loads all the 1,00,000 customers in the list. So the FA freezes in its page load and its operations. So, when the customers list renders, it should show the most recent 10 customers in the list.  When the salesman starts typing the customer name, it should bring the filtered results from the server to narrow down the search and by the way it will not freeze or hang the invoice page.

The samething i already explained in your another topic which talks about autocomplete.

So i thought this one handles such a thing.

thanks for notifying this. Fixed and updated dropbox download link

I didnt get it

Like it creates like this " popups popups popups popups popups popups popups popups popups popups popups popups popups popups popups" .

<div class=" popups popups popups popups popups popups popups popups popups popups popups popups popups popups popups" style="position: fixed; left: 267.5px; top: 174px; width: 169px; display: none;"><div class="lister"><ul class="mselect-rset"><li title="" class=" anoselect" id="1">Donald Easter</li><li title="" class=" anoselect" id="2">MoneyMaker&nbsp;-&nbsp;EUR</li><li title="" class=" aselected" id="3">Varadha</li></ul></div></div>

Kindly fix it. also the Ajax concept i didnt understand. it brings all the elements in the customers when i see.
