I've recently put together an autocompletion script that will work with an input text field, with data either in a JS array, or in a SELECT. It works the same in IE6 and Mozilla 1.4. I couldn't find the specific documentation for the Mozilla functions used. I had to search the CVS source tree, as the "range" related objects (selecting a range of text) and methods particular to DOM aren't really very well documented. There's some documentation of Range for Mozilla, but I'm not using any of those functions. I just happened to find some bits of IE and Mozilla specific autocompletion on the web, and took and merged them. Would something like this be a useful utility for the DynAPI? If so, where should it go? If the code needs modifying for DynAPI integration, I might need some pointers. If the example doesn't work in a browser (Opera, etc.) I'd need someone else to fix it as I don't have access to other browsers yet. Leif |

Wonderful! This is great!
From the looks of things I think it should go within
the GUI section as it will mainly be used by gui
components. Otherwise it should go into the util
section.
You can create and AutoComplete Class library so a
user could create an autocomplete object:
var ac = new AutoComplete();
// autocomplete could inherit the EventObject

Does anyone on the list know about DOM Text Ranges in Opera (any version)?
I got Opera 7 running now (nice and fast, I was shocked). But I haven't
been able to find specific documentation or code examples (that work, not
just claim to work). Do my scripts work on Safari? I have no *Mac access.
If possible I'd like to work out all the major compatibility kinks while I'm
still in a stand-alone sandbox script, rather than find a hangup when I am
half-way through the DynAPI integration.
