Lift Jquery autocomplete

[Marius]

Is there a reason why the JQuery autocomplete is not a Lift widget but
instead it lives in http/jquery package? .. I remember a long time ago
me putting it in the jquery package to separate SHtml stuff that is
dependent on JQuery to the others.

Thoughts?

I think I'm using in one place in one project so my api breakage factor is low.  I'm okay with moving it unless someone else is going to feel real pain.

Other folks, please speak up ! :) ... I will soon migrate this into a
Lift widget.

As an evolving framework, it definitely makes more sense to favour consistency over backward compatibility at this stage

Folks,

I just made the autocomplete a Lift widget so it does not exist
anymore in JqShtml object. Here is an example on how to use it:

- For Ajax autocomplete
AutoComplete("", (current, limit) => {
println("current = " + current)
(1 to limit).map(v => "Value_" + v)
}, s => println("submit " + s))

- For pre-provided options list
AutoComplete.autocompleteObj(/*same params as bfore*/)


This may break your app but I think it is very easy to update it.

I also fixed some bugs:
1. It didn;t work if the container cookies were turned off
2. hovering on the options list did not work on Ubuntu FF3 at least
due to a capitalizated LI equality test.

If you encounter any problems, please let me know.

Br's,
Marius

Hi Marius,

I just updated to the tip and got a build failure:

[WARNING] /home/bryan/public-repos/git/liftweb/sites/example/src/main/
scala/net/liftweb/example/snippet/Ajax.scala:65: error: value
autocomplete is not a member of object net.liftweb.http.jquery.JqSHtml
[WARNING] "auto" -> JqSHtml.autocomplete("", buildQuery _, _
=> ()))

yes yes yes ... entirely my bad as I missed that out ...

I'll correct it very soon.
