Menu
I spend half of a day trying to apply fade effect for autocomplete drop down menu... The final result is very uncomfortable for me - look like 'lucky shoot', not real solution.
I used jqueryui default demo for example, and add lines:
var acMenu = $("#tags").data().autocomplete.menu.activeMenu;
acMenu._basehide = acMenu.hide;
acMenu.hide = function(){
this._basehide("fade","slow");
};
acMenu._baseshow = acMenu.show;
acMenu.show = function(){
this._baseshow("fade","slow");
};
The whole file looks like (© for www.jqueryui.com):
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>jQuery UI Autocomplete - Default functionality</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.9.2/themes/base/jquery-ui.css" />
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.3.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.9.2/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/resources/demos/style.css" />
<script>
$(function() {
var availableTags = [
"ActionScript",
"AppleScript",
"Asp",
"BASIC",
"C",
"C++",
"Clojure",
"COBOL",
"ColdFusion",
"Erlang",
"Fortran",
"Groovy",
"Haskell",
"Java",
"JavaScript",
"Lisp",
"Perl",
"PHP",
"Python",
"Ruby",
"Scala",
"Scheme"
];
$( "#tags" ).autocomplete({
source: availableTags
});
var acMenu = $("#tags").data().autocomplete.menu.activeMenu;
acMenu._basehide = acMenu.hide;
acMenu.hide = function(){
this._basehide("fade","slow");
};
acMenu._baseshow = acMenu.show;
acMenu.show = function(){
this._baseshow("fade","slow");
};
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="ui-widget">
<label for="tags">Tags: </label>
<input id="tags" />
</div>
</body>
</html>
Can you suggest me better solution ?
Thanks!

Since you're using HTML5 there you could use CSS Transitions to do the Job.
Add/Remove a class on the open/close events of the Autocomplete Instance:
$( "#tags" ).autocomplete({
source: availableTags,
open: function () { $('ul.ui-autocomplete').addClass('opened') },
close: function () {
$('ul.ui-autocomplete')
.removeClass('opened')
.css('display','block');
},
});
Then add following CSS:
.ui-autocomplete {
opacity: 0;
display: none;
transition: opacity 1s;
-moz-transition: opacity 1s;
-webkit-transition: opacity 1s;
-o-transition: opacity 1s;
}
.ui-autocomplete.opened {
opacity: 1;
}
Though I suppose you could do just the same method with the jQuery UI Fade to class method. Note: Will produce weird results when there's more than 1 Autocomplete on a page.
