[drupal-devel] [feature] AJAX form_autocomplete() field

[solon]

Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/22519

 Project:      Drupal
 Version:      4.6.0
 Component:    base system
 Category:     feature requests
 Priority:     normal
 Assigned to:  Anonymous
 Reported by:  Thox
 Updated by:   solon
 Status:       patch

Don't mean to throw a spanner in the works, but I get an error if the
request I type does not match any in the database/ file it is looking
through.
-- Begin Error --
JavaScript
An HTTP error undefined occured.

-- End Error --


Would it be best to have it display an ' informative' error message, or
stop trying to 'guess' if it definately can't find a match?


BTW: I am using Safari 2.0 Mac OsX (you don't say :P )

As discussed on #drupal, I've created a patch to add an AJAX-based
form_autocomplete() field to the Drupal core.


The documentation of the autocomplete callback remains undocumented.
See http://drupal.org/node/22471 for more details.

I've created a demonstration page that works in a number of different
browsers:
