Trying to programmatically trigger the display of the autocompletion list results. This, instead of waiting for user input.
Is this doable? (I've tried getting the element's focus, calling a Javascript down-arrow key event. No dice)
To enable an autocomplete in jQuery UI, we will be using the enable() method. jQuery UI enable() method is used to enable the autocomplete. It returns the accordion element completely to its initial state.
The AutoComplete control supports strongly-typed HTML helpers represented by lambda expressions that have model or template passed into the View. So, you can get the selected value from view in the Controller part. To achieve this, create an AutocompleteFor control and bound the dataSource from controller part.
a jQuery UI widget is a specialized jQuery plug-in. Using plug-in, we can apply behaviours to the elements. However, plug-ins lack some built-in capabilities, such as a way to associate data with its elements, expose methods, merge options with defaults, and control the plug-in's lifetime.
If, and only if, you are using a version of jQuery 1.3 or greater, you can create a jQuery.Event
object, then trigger()
it. I was only able to get it to work if the element is also focused. So this code works for the "E-Mail (local):" example on the demo page.
var e = jQuery.Event("keydown");
e.which = 40;
$('#suggest13').trigger('focus').attr('value',' ').trigger(e);
I'm not sure exactly what your situation is, I think it's somewhat dependent on the autocomplete actually showing something if only a space is pressed. That's not always the case.
and what about this? $("#autocompleteid").autocomplete("search")
