[drupal-devel] [feature] Improved styling of autocomplete matches

[Chris Johnson]

Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/24932

 Project:      Drupal
 Version:      cvs
 Component:    base system
 Category:     feature requests
 Priority:     normal
 Assigned to:  Anonymous

 Status:       patch

Very nice feedback.  On your demo page, I like the icon in the text
field that indicates active "matching."


One small bug (it seems).  Typing "c" alone gets me a list of matches,
but the last (bottom) entry has a piece of javascript appended to it
with a line through it.


Using Firefox 1.04 on Windows 2000.


Similar bug, but with several lines of javascript fragments in the
match box, appears using MSIE 6 on Windows 2000.

I'd like the autocomplete matches to be underlined (or styled in some
way) so that users can see which part of the strings returned was
actually matched. See Screenshot [1].

Using bold instead of underline is much more effective. See screenshot
[2] or my usual autocomplete demo page [3].


New patch attached.
