JQuery UI - Autocomplete Problem using the mouse

Yii 1.1 General Discussion
1

Hello,

I have a fundamental question about the jQuery-implementation:

Under framework/web/js/source I found the jQuery and jQuery UI files.

As long as there is a problem/bug in jQuery.autocomplete when using the mouse to pick an item (it won’t pick the item from the list…) and this bug was fixed in jQuery-ui 1.8.2 (but still occure in yii when using the CJuiAutocomplete Widget), I took a look at …/source/jquery.autocomplete.js. This version seems to be from august 2009, which isn’t jQuery-ui 1.8.2.

Under ../source/jui/js/ are more jQuery-ui files, which seems to contain something about autocomplete.

Now I am confused.

The yii 1.1.5 changelog claims to use JUI 1.8.6 but the autocomplete-plugin seems so be much older.

Can somebody give me a hint?!

Best regards

Ralf

There are up-to-date CJuiAutocomplete and deprecated CAutoComplete that uses deprecated non jQuery UI solution. Since we are maintaining backwards compatibility for 1.1.x we can’t just drop CAutoComplete.

Thanks for your reply, Sam.

I took a look around and maybe I started to understand the whole JUI implementation a little better.

So I did the autocomplete-functionality with CJuiAutocomplete. As with Yii 1.1.4 in Yii 1.1.5. there still is a bug in the JUI-autocomplete, where items are not selected when chosen by mouse. As far as I know, that problem was solved in JUI 1.8.2.

Does anybody recognized the same problem and maybe solved it?

Thanks!

Hi,

I use Yii 1.1.6 (used Yii 1.1.5) and I have no problem. Try to clear the asset directory after Yii update.

i’m using 1.1.7 and have the same problem when selecting items using the mouse click

6

noticed that the problem only occurs when i put the code to send the form in the selected callback:




selected=>"js:function(){ 

   $(this).parents.form.submit(); 

}"

with this code, the autocomplete input field is filled with the text I typed instead of the selected text

any idea?
