(note: <ins>they <em>must</em> have an id</ins>.)</li> <li>Include the line: Autocomplete.defaultSuggestTags = &#8216;<ins>alphabetized</ins> suggest words&#8217;;</li> </ol> <p>That&#8217;s it.</p> <p>If you want the autocomplete box to layer next to your input box, here are some suggested <span class="caps">CSS</span> rules by which you can do this:</p> <textarea rows="5" style="width:100%;">div.autoSuggestions { font-size:10pt; padding-left:1px; position:absolute; background:#fff; z-index:5000 } div.autoSuggestions ul { padding:0px; margin:0px; min-width:200px; outline:1px solid #808080; _border:1px solid #808080; } div.autoSuggestions ul li { list-style:none; padding:2px; } div.autoSuggestions ul li { background:#fffffe; } div.autoSuggestions ul li.selected { background:#f4f4d9; } </textarea> <h2>Additional capabilities</h2> <p>bozComplete also offers the capability to customize the list of words to use for a specific input form. To do this, include a hidden input, with the id equal to = &#8217;s&#8217;+id of the input to complete.</p> <p>Additionally, bozComplete can order by a predetermined ranking. To use this feature, append a comma followed by a ranking number to each alphabetized autocomplete term.</p> <p>To try this out, visit <a rel="nofollow" href="http://sandbox.sourcelabs.com/autocomplete/">the test page</a>. The test page offers a toggle for the number of search terms to complete on. An unlimited number of terms are supported by the script, however performance may suffer on slower machines if beyond 20,000 terms are used.</p> <p>To download the script, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://sandbox.sourcelabs.com/autocomplete/autocomplete.js">grab the source from here</a>.</p> <h2>Limitations</h2> <ul> <li>bozComplete does not support arbitrary capitalizations, only lowercase tags are supported currently. Uppercase tags will be lowercased.</li> <li>If you add autocomplete inputs after the page has loaded, you will now need to call Autocomplete.findTargets() to let Autocomplete know to search for new inputs. This has been changed for performance reasons.</li> </ul> <h2>Projects using bozComplete</h2> <ul> <li><a class="wikilink" href="http://swik.net/SWiK">SWiK</a></li> <li><a class="wikilink" href="http://swik.net/Musika">Musika</a></li> <li><a class="wikilink" href="http://swik.net/boz">boz</a></li> </ul> bozComplete is an unobtrusive autocomplete JavaScript library for autocompleting preset words in an input box.
