jQuery/AJAX type-ahead/auto-complete
- by Prasad
I have read several articles/questions/forums discussing the best auto-complete plugin for jQuery. After trying several good ones, I've realized a flaw in most.
If you are looking up countries and type 'In', a couple of countries show up.
If you continue typing I-n-d-i-a, this results in 5 AJAX calls (see http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/6f1bcd69e1.png)
its quite natural that India is a subset of In, so why call again? We need to simply filter the retrieved list client-side.
Anyone knows about such an implementation?
What is the status of the Jquery Autocomplete feature? I read at StackOverflow that it is no longer available with Jquery; but the Jquery website has a 'New' mark besides the link to Autocomplete.
Thanks
