Hi david, the demo is not case-sensitive. How did you do that? Does “filter” and “filterCase” has something to do with it?

Could you please show an example of usage of injectChoice?
Like for instance when the results from the database query return 2 columns, and you must display col1 to the user and use col2 to automatically select another control.
Simple example: search for a city and automatically fill in the province to which that city belongs.
Thanks a lot…
Otherwise, for users that are not geniouses in mootools, finding our way through these options is dare i say impossible :(

This looks great, and I’m trying to understand the code.

I’m looking at the source code of your Demo page, and I can see all the elements you describe above in the source code, ie; the XHTML, CSS, Mootools javascript parts, but I can’t see the PHP you describe above, where you’re making the database connection etc. As far as I can tell the JSON is calling the same ‘autocompleter.php’ webpage, but I can’t the the mysql connection and SQL SELECT statements. Can you help me?

I am using jQuery on my site, do you suggest finding a jQ “Auto Completer” or should I go with the MooTools plugin? I don’t want to use MooTools, because thats two frameworks… I rather stay dedicated to jQ.

Hi,
Great post, but is there anyway to send more another value to a hidden field? I am thinking about using this to select a value (as it currently does), but also send another value from the same row on the database to a hidden field within the form? Is this at all possible?

I have created an index.php file having the dialog box for the search, a file containing the Mootools script and another get-terms.php.

I have downloaded the Mootools file and included in the index.php file…

I run the index.php and when i run everything… nothing happens when i type in the dialog box :(

I am still new to JSON, JQuery and Mootools… If anyone can help me, it would be really appreciated.
