FA WITH AUTOCOMPLETE DOWNLOAD (Page 2 of 2)

@anoopmb can you mention the changes you made in the core. Overwriting my files with your files will overwrite some of my modifications too.

Thanks in Advance

@boxygen - you can use a software named ", Meld" ,it's available for Linux, windows and OS x. Can see the file differences if you compare the files with default core. You can get difference from it . Hope it helps you

@ kvvaradha

yeah we can try that  as the popup search type is available now  in combo input function.

let me take a look

thanks for testing

The lists need special character handling so that names like "A & L" Foods appear properly.  One possible fix is to call

function decodeHtml(html) {
    var txt = document.createElement("textarea");
    txt.innerHTML = html;
    return txt.value;
}

where the code currently uses "selval" and

selectedoption.innerHTML= selectedoption.innerHTML.replace(/ /gi,' ');

which currently may not be doing anything because the browser just converts back.

Another minor problem is lost focus because FA does not expect to focus on a hidden variable, which in the new code has the old list name (the new list being named "name" + mselect).  I have a simple fix for this if you are interested.

Thanks for the contribution.  I already had autocomplete lists running on my site but I like yours better because it modular and non-invasive, so I replaced my code with yours.
