I have created a jQuery autocomplete that works of an array generated by a PHP script:
var tags = [{"id":"77","label":"110826"},
{"id":"76","label":"110667"},
{"id":"74","label":"110808"}];
However the autocomplete box will not work - i am typing in values that are in the array but nothing is happening and I cannot figure out why.
Please see my fiddle here; http://jsfiddle.net/j4yB3/
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
You hadn't closed your <label> tag (not that it really matters), but your Fiddle didn't have the jQueryUI and jQuery references.
Try THIS.
I have updated the fiddle code for the solution. Make sure you have added the jquery js and jquery ui js
<script>
$(function() {
var projects = [
{
value: "jquery",
label: "jQuery",
desc: "the write less, do more, JavaScript library",
icon: "jquery_32x32.png"
},
{
value: "jquery-ui",
label: "jQuery UI",
desc: "the official user interface library for jQuery",
icon: "jqueryui_32x32.png"
},
{
value: "sizzlejs",
label: "Sizzle JS",
desc: "a pure-JavaScript CSS selector engine",
icon: "sizzlejs_32x32.png"
}
];
$( "#project" ).autocomplete({
minLength: 0,
source: projects,
focus: function( event, ui ) {
$( "#project" ).val( ui.item.label );
return false;
},
select: function( event, ui ) {
$( "#project" ).val( ui.item.label );
$( "#project-id" ).val( ui.item.value );
$( "#project-description" ).html( ui.item.desc );
$( "#project-icon" ).attr( "src", "images/" + ui.item.icon );
return false;
}
})
.data( "ui-autocomplete" )._renderItem = function( ul, item ) {
return $( "<li>" )
.append( "<a>" + item.label + "<br>" + item.desc + "</a>" )
.appendTo( ul );
};
});
</script>
