Change Event Not Firing in Edititable Combo Edit Mode

[singam]

Hi Team,

First thanks for the ‘Editable combo control’.

I have used your editable combo control, I am facing a problem in
calling the ‘Change’ event when the combo is in the edit mode (I am
typing the new text).

As a normal combo the ‘Change’ event is working. This issue is
stopping me from proceeding to the next step.

Expecting a speed reply, whether it is possible or not.

Thanks,

Hi,

Change event for select controls fires when you change active option
to another option. If you are typing in editable combobox what happens
is all your keystrokes are captured, parsed and proper characters are
appended to one specific option. However since this it not changing
the selected option (apart from switching to editable option when you
type first character) that's why you don't see change event fire when
you type. Combobox only changes option value via JS.

Can you give us more details about what you want to use the Change
event to in your case.

I think we could add some special event to fire when you are typing to
plugin core. If that's important for you please post a ticket on
project page: http://code.google.com/p/jquery-jec/issues/list

Hi RaYell,

Thanks for your reply

my scenario is i have your editable combo for listing employee name.

if any employee names are not listed, we can always go and add the
same. the problem is i have to check whether the entered employee name
is correct from my database, for that i am using ajax. after this
editable control i don't have any other control except submit button.

on change of the editable combo i am trying to call the ajax function
and storing the response text in a hidden field. Here only my change
event is not firing when i manually add a new employee.

Hope i am pretty much clear with problem and scenario. Please guide me
in the right direction.

Await your reply.
