Problem with delimitir using jquery and mvc razor

Question

I can't add few values to the same field. I can select only one value, and after I input ,, ; or other delimiter character, I can't select another one. I want it to work similar to autocomplete.

I have a textbox with jQuery bound:

<div class="editor-field">
    @Html.EditorFor(model => model.Name) @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Name)
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
    $("#Name").autocomplete('@Url.Action("TagName", "Tag")', {
        minChars: 1,
        delimiter: /(,|;)\s*/,
        onSelect: function(value, data){
            alert('You selected: ' + value + ', ' + data);
        }
    });
});
</script>

It uses data from my controller:

public ActionResult TagName(string q)
{
    var tags = new List<TagModel>
    {
        new TagModel {Name = "aaaa", NumberOfUse = "0"},
        new TagModel {Name = "mkoh", NumberOfUse = "1"},
        new TagModel {Name = "asdf", NumberOfUse = "2"},
        new TagModel {Name = "zxcv", NumberOfUse = "3"},
        new TagModel {Name = "qwer", NumberOfUse = "4"},
        new TagModel {Name = "tyui", NumberOfUse = "5"},
        new TagModel {Name = "asdf[", NumberOfUse = "6"},
        new TagModel {Name = "mnbv", NumberOfUse = "7"}
    };

    var tagNames = (from p in tags where p.Name.Contains(q) select p.Name).Distinct().Take(3);

    string content = string.Join<string>("\n", tagNames);
    return Content(content);
}

I'm using these scripts:

<link href="@Url.Content("~/Content/Site.css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery-1.5.1.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.autocomplete.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.autocomplete.css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

There is no error in firebug. What is wrong with my code?

Answer 1

Experienced this kind of problems with firebug.

I suggest to not trust Firebug console until it contains error messages

If your code is not working as expected, and firebug is not showing you any error messages then it's time to check your web page in chrome and see where exactly the exception is not handled within Console tab, specially when you're using ajax.
