Hi , how can i put delay on autocomplete when entering keys ? for example, to execute autocomplete after 1 second from last key pressed ?

Thanks in advance

Here's how I did it for ajaxtags-1.1.5:

Edit file phpAjaxTags/js/ajaxtags-1.1.5.js
c. line 716, following the line

    sourceElemChanged: function(e) {

add the following:

    if ( this.timer != null )
        clearTimeout(this.timer);
    var thisObj = this;

c. line 760, change the line

        this.sendRequest();

to

        this.timer = setTimeout(function() { thisObj.sendRequest(); }, 1000)

Forgot one line for the above.  In the Autocomplete initialize section, c. line 668, following the line

this.attachBehaviors(this.options.sourceElem, this.options.eventType, this.sourceElemChanged, this);

add the line

this.timer = null;
