[eGroupWare-developers] AJAX Select Widget

[Nathan G. <na...@go...>]

I've developed an AJAX widget that lets you select an item from a =20
large list by typing into a search box.  It works kind of like a =20
combo box.  As you type, the list of options is refined.

=EF=BF=BC
It can use the same functions as a nextmatch widget, and takes the =20
following options, set in the editor:
get_rows	=3D>	same as nextmatch, where to get the data
get_title		=3D>	used to fill in the box when they click =
a result, and =20
for the results if no template is set.  Using a link_title function =20
will work well, as the id_field will be passed to this function.
id_field		=3D>	used to tell which field in the data =
rows to return as a =20
value and pass to get_title function.
template		=3D>	The eTemplate used for each row of of =
the results =20
(optional)
filter			=3D>	Value to filter the results by, passed =
to get_rows as =20
with nextmatch widget
filter2		=3D>	Value to filter the results by, passed to =
get_rows as =20
with nextmatch widget

I'd like to share it, if anybody's interested, but since it uses two =20
eTemplates, I'm not sure how to do so.
