Great plugin! I was looking through your code and had a question about the run_search method, specifically constructing $.post or $.get. You're constructing a string and leaving the data parameter empty:

$.post(settings.url + queryStringDelimiter + settings.queryParam + "=" + query, {}, callback, settings.contentType);

Is there any reason you wouldn't do this, which would build the string for you?

$.post(settings.url, {q:query}, callback, settings.contentType);

Yes! Problem exist, and i can't fix it.
In json reply name contain ' character. Escaping this char not fixed error. Maybe i'm stupid but i'd very appreciated if you post fix.

And i found bug in FF 3.0.x
When page loaded and i click on input field, mouse cursor not focused. I must click right mouse button and cursor will focus in field, and only after this, i can input text.

Well, for one bit, I don't think "using regexp for routing" is a plus for Django... using the full language palette is much more flexible - and who else will write/config routes than a developer? Django developers could use python to write routers, rails developers use ruby to do so. Why is a more limited regexp-based solution superior?

Answering my own question: tokenLimit:1

Re: jQuery Plugin: Tokenizing Autocomplete Text Entry

Is there a way to limit the input to only one entry, instead of multiple entries? Thanks!

Hi again,

I've slightly changed your API to support different languages, so if you are interested, you can get it out of the code branch of my lately announced project:

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~patlkli/tv-series-...

Thank you again for the great API base,
Patrick

Hi guys,

Here is the code I used to implement the local search. Figure this will save other some time. Works like a charm. Hopefully, this feature will be added to the core plugin.

function listItem( id, name ) {
this.id = id;
this.name = name;
}

var itemArray = new Array();
itemArray.push(new listItem("1", "Adam Smith"));
itemArray.push(new listItem("2", "Charlie Jones"));
itemArray.push(new listItem("3", "Linda Allen"));

function do_search2(query) {
var output = new Array();
var regEx = new RegExp(query, "i");
for (var i = 0; i < itemArray .length; i++) {
if (itemArray[i].name.search(regEx) >= 0) {
output.push(itemArray[i]);
}
}
return output;
}

$(document).ready(function() {
$("#tokenize").tokenInput(null, {
hintText: "Enter names",
localSearch: do_search2,
minChars: 2
});

});

Great plugin.

Has anyone customized this yet for the following:

1. Use local look-ups instead of AJAX requests. Our implementation will be to select students in a class (less than 30 in a class), so we do not need to hit the server to find the matches.

2. Only allow the same token to be selected once. After you select the token "Whatever", it will not be selectable again.

Thanks,
Adam

Great stuff...really love it, making me look good to the clients :-)

Quick question, am not sure if its been answered in the comments below, is it possible for the dropdown list to be restricted alphabetically using the key typed in?

For example, in the Favorite movie list used above if you type F you get the full list with F in bold, is it possible to restrict the list to only the results starting with F? Hope am making sense!

hi yogesh,

You should use CONCAT_WS instead of CONCAT.

Hello James,

Thanks for the wonderful autocomplete plugin. I just had read through the comments and was glad to see that others have already found the solutions to bugs. I am using facebook version of it and it and works great for me. So many thanks once again.

I am using it for a text box where user types in a person's name and matching names get returned from database. I wanted to show a person's city,state ad organization in the list. So this is what I wrote in my query.
SELECT customer_id as id,CONCAT(last_name,' ',first_name,', ',agency,', ',city,' ',state)AS name

Problem with this approach is if any one of the 5 fields(concatenated as name) are null, I get null in the returned list for that customer.

So first of all, let me know if there is better approach to return more than 1 value for an id.Else If you suggest any pointers so that I can work around this problem, it will be of great help to me.

Thanks.

Sincerely,
Yogesh

Is it possible to set focus to the controller with a javascript? I try and run $("#tokenize").focus() but it only shows the dropdown and the cursor is no where to be found so I cant start typing.

I really like this plugin. It's great!

A few thoughts/suggestions:

1. jQuery has an auto-complete module. Perhaps it would be possible to, in co-operation with them, to modify the autocomplete component and make it usable as an engine (without UI). That way others, such as yourself, could use the autocomplete engine (and contribute to a single codebase) and still build different implementations on top of it. There are many different situations/use cases for autocomplete where the underlying stuff is the same (engine) but the display and rendering is different.

2. Would be nice if this could handle a <select mutiple="multiple"> element too. (which would get hidden, since text is needed for writing). The data compiled is more close to that of a select element (an array of values).

I have seen this question several times in the comments but never being answered. Is it possible to add tokens from outside this script? For instance, I'm using this script for people to add tags to an article but want to provide them with a handy list from which they can quickly choose, this list is just a simple <li> list with names which sits besides the token input box.
Either I don't get it or there is no interface for adding tokens...
