I'm using jQuery UI Autocomplete.
When the suggestion box appears and the user presses the Down key (or they move the mouse over one suggestion), I need the entire row to be highlighted. So far, when pressing the Down key, only the background of the hyperlink gets highlighted. I tried styling the ui-state-hover class, but that's only used on the anchor element. I can't figure out how to highlight the li element.
Here's my CSS so far:
.ui-state-hover, .ui-autocomplete li:hover
{
color:White;
background:#96B202;
outline:none;
}
EDIT: To make it a bit more clear, the autocomplete generates its elements like so:
<ul>
<li><a>an element</a></li>
<li><a>another element</a></li>
</ul>
when the down key is pressed, the anchor element automatically gets the class ui-state-hover.
I had exactly the same problem, solved it by:
.ui-state-focus
{
color:White;
background:#96B202;
outline:none;
}
Being a beginner in CSS, I didn't see this earlier: I only had to make the anchor element's style display:block
. In case anyone ever runs into this again.
You can use events:
yourElement.autocomplete({
focus: function(event, ui) { console.log(var li = $(event.srcElement).parent()); },
});
li
variable is what you need. You can change style or add class the way you like.
