Autofill dropdown with django

[Karthik Abinav]

hey,

 I needed a autocomplete utility in one of my applications and I was wondering if django provides any such option for that. Basically my need is a box where user starts typing some name and as he types I need a list of suggested autocompletion, to be provided. Something like how when a user tries to tag a friend in facebook and it provides options. Help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Karthik Abinav

Hi Abhinav

If i understand you correctly take a look at django-ajax-select.
Home-page: http://code.google.com/p/django-ajax-selects/

This is an autocomplete box which works in the following way :-

Hope it helps you !!!

Let say we have a username textbox(which is ajax-selct field) so i type Ab ... It will give you the list of username that starts with ab.
It has some settings though.

I think it's more Javascript/AJAX than Django, obviously you'll need to do a function that uses HttpRequest.is_ajax(), but in the end, the core of this code is more Javascript/AJAX than Django.
