A Plugin for autocomplete.
Plugin requires you to load jQuery first.
Then load the autocomplete.min.js file
<script type="text/javascript" src="autocomplete.min.js"></script>
You have to call the autocomplete function.
$("#auto").autocomplete({ });
For getting suggestions you have to pass an array for suggestions as parameter to the function.
var params = ['Apple','Orange','Grapes','Banana']; $("#auto").autocomplete({ array: params });
You can choose if you want to auto fill the input field. By deafult the param is set to true.
var params = ['Apple','Orange','Grapes','Banana']; $("#auto").autocomplete({ array: params, autofill:false });
If you want to get suggestion from a server. You can provide the url
$("#auto").autocomplete({ autofill:false, url: "PASTE YOUR URL HERE" });
If both array
and url
are passed as parameter then only array
will be consider for suggestion. So if you want data from url
you have to skip the array
parameter.
