I'm working with Bootstrap 3 and i have an autossugest input. The problem is that i want the <ul>
to scroll with the keyboard keys but it doesn't work. I think scrolling with arrows keys is a default behavior but the <ul>
doesn´t do it. Here is what is happening:
If i press the down key twice:
I'm using the typeahead developed by Bassjobsen.
HTML code:
<input type="text" class="form-control" data-provide="typeahead" id="test">
Javascript (with JQuery.js) code:
$('document').ready (function () {
$('#test').typeahead({
source: ['algo', 'pepe', 'algo2', 'algo34', 'pepe3', 'algo42'],
items: 'all',
minLength: 2
});
});
I set items
to all
to show all items in source
. That's why i need to scroll them.
I added this inline style to the generated <ul>
:
style="max-height: 50px; overflow-y: auto;"
So this is the code generated by Bassjobsens library:
<ul class=" dropdown-menu" style="max-height: 50px; overflow-y: auto; top: 73px; left: 20px; display: none;" "="">
<li class="active">
<a href="#"><strong>al</strong>go</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="#"><strong>al</strong>go2</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="#"><strong>al</strong>go34</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="#"><strong>al</strong>go42</a>
</li>
</ul>
Final Edit:
Alright, I started having too much fun figuring this out, and finally have (hopefully you still need the solution!) Here is a working solution, building off of what I posted earlier. I hope it's what you were looking for!
$('#test').keydown(function(e) {
if($('.dropdown-menu').is(':visible')) {
var menu = $('.dropdown-menu');
var active = menu.find('.active');
var height = active.outerHeight(); //Height of <li>
var top = menu.scrollTop(); //Current top of scroll window
var menuHeight = menu[0].scrollHeight; //Full height of <ul>
//Up
if(e.keyCode == 38) {
if(top != 0) {
//All but top item goes up
menu.scrollTop(top - height);
} else {
//Top item - go to bottom of menu
menu.scrollTop(menuHeight + height);
}
}
//Down
if(e.keyCode == 40) {
//window.alert(menuHeight - height);
var nextHeight = top + height; //Next scrollTop height
var maxHeight = menuHeight - height; //Max scrollTop height
if(nextHeight <= maxHeight) {
//All but bottom item goes down
menu.scrollTop(top + height);
} else {
//Bottom item - go to top of menu
menu.scrollTop(0);
}
}
}
});
