When I don't apply any CSS styles to the properties CompletionListCssClass, CompletionListItemCssClass and CompletionListHighlightedItemCssClass the completion list displays a nice dropdownlist right below the targeted textbox.
However, I am simply looking for a border and a scrollbar after 100 pixels in height (I am allowing 20 items returned).Initially I was using the CompletionListElementID property and pointing it to a DIV placed right below the target textbox. I applied the styles to the DIV (height:100px; overflow:scroll;) and all was well.
Even though that produced exactly what I wanted, I noticed that VS 2008 SP1 with .NET 3.5 SP1 was telling me that the CompletionListElementID property is obsolete and I should use the CSS styles.
So now I am in a bind because I don't know CSS that well and using some example CSS, that doesn't seem to refer to ANY positioning, the list shows up in odd places...nowhere near the target TextBox.
Can I use the CompletionListElementID property even though I am being warned it is obsolete? It seems to work just fine.I know that I downloaded the latest ToolKit for .NET 3.5 and VS2008 SP1.
When using AutoComplete in google chrome, it seems to have a problem positioning the extender. It seems that the "top" css value of the autoextender isn't being calculated with the scroll position taken into account.
This can even be seen on:

If you scroll down so that the "AutoComplete Demonstration" title is at the top of the browser rendering area, and then type something in the textbox, you will notice that the extender will display at the top of the page instead of just below the textbox.
I have a toolbar at the bottom of my site, wrapped in an lwaysVisibleControlExtender. When I press on the of links on the bottom, I want a popup to appear such that it appears joined to the link on the toolbar (very much like facebook chat). How do I use the popupcontrolextender to position the popup, even when the popup can have variable height?

I have a 'MaskedEditExtender' textbox for phone number on my application. On IE, when someone clicks somewhere in the middle of the textbox using the mouse, on the first click the cursor is actually placed at the first digit of the number. On the next click positions it is at the mouse position. However, on other browsers like Chrome, Firefox, etc.. on the first click of the mouse, the cursor position is at the mouse position (not at the first digit of the number). There does not seem to be any special code written to specify this behaviour. Is there a default behaviour for 'MaskedEditExtender' on IE which results in this?
In the tutorial for autocomplete text box for static page method in c# the following lines of code is given. When i use it my website using c# it gives error 'invalid term "in" showing in line 7.
[System.Web.Services.WebMethodAttribute(), System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptMethodAttribute()] public static string[] GetCompletionList(string prefixText, int count, string contextKey) { // Create array of movies string[] movies = {"Star Wars", "Star Trek", "Superman", "Memento", "Shrek", "Shrek II"}; // Return matching movies return (from m in movies where m.StartsWith(prefixText,StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase) select m).Take(count).ToArray(); }
I am using autocompleteextender to receive list of projects. Is there any way that, given list of projects can hold a hidden values like a dropdownlist? I need project ID as hidden value...so that when I select a project from the list, I can retrieve the ID using C#/ASP.Net.
i'm using visual web developer 2008 express edition, i added the ajax toolkit to the tools without issue. SOME tools, like the accordian (and others) allow me to drag and drop them onto my forms. but others, such as the autocompleteextender wil not allow me to drag and drop them onto a form. i just get a circle with a line through it (as if to say - this is not allowed) - why is that?
i tried coding the extender in manually like many examples i've seen online:
I've got an AutoCompleteExtender on one of my pages, it seems to be working fine aside from this strange behaviour: Let's say I key in 2 characters, the suggestion list would display. When I press on backspace to delete those 2 characters, wait until the suggestion list to disappear, and re-enter those 2 characters, the suggestion list would no longer display (or sometimes would flicker for about a second after losing focus from the textbox) and I'll need to refresh the page just to get it working again.
However, if I do press backspace and delete those 2 characters but not let the suggestion list to disappear and re-enter new characters, it would continue displaying with correct suggestions. This behaviour seems to happen only in IE8, (although it works with IE8 using Compatibility View and Firefox)... My code is almost the same as the sample on this site except for the animations, and the service looks up in a database table.

I am using AjaxAutoCompleteExtender in my asp.net program (C#) . I am applying the extender to a texbox and using internal Web Service. I am getting the desired result, when i am running from the development environment. After Publishing the site to IIS, I am not getting the list and not showing any errors. I have turned off custom errors. My website is not an Ajax Enabled WebSite. So i added the lines into my Web.Config.I tried all service path.. http://localhost/Test/ WebService.asmxhttp://192.109.1.8/Test/WebService.asmxand i tried ~/Test/WebService.aspxWhile testing from the development environment, i am using the last one.I am not sure whether this is the problem with the service path or any permission issue.
I have an AutoCompleteExtender control as below. I have tested the web service and it is working. When I debug, there is no error message of any kind. But when I type in the TextBox1, the auto completion does not work. Does somebody know what could be the cause?
I am using ASP.NET 3.5...I have a text box where I am using the AutoCompleteExtender for search.
When user enter the key the serach shows the "ProjectNumber-ProjectName" in the search result....after selecting any of this...only ProjectNumber is entered in the textbox (I am using hidden control to store key values)...everything works fine till here.Now I have a problem with values stored in the hidden control...for example in the text box there are three ProjectNumbers ..A,B,C....now I go ahead and delete all these three and enter the key word again...the search work fine but when I select any value the Text box is populated with old value (coming from hidden control) like A,B,C and then new value D
Please suggest me how I can assign the hidden text box value with the new text box values after the selection is done...
function KeySelected(source, eventArgs) {
var labelVal = document.getElementById('<%=this.Hidden1.ClientID%>').value; var userValues = ""; [code]...
How can I use the contextKey of an AutoCompleteExtender ? When I had a search, I got to know that using javascript we can fire the contextkey to the webservice writing this script and how to use it in webservice ????
use a textbox and the AutoCompleteExtender to search for the customer. For example, on the PurchaseOrder form, I have a textbox with a Customer field, and when I type in the name of the customer, the AutoCompleteExtender shows the possible matches.Now, it takes a few seconds to show the list of values, even with setting the correct values on the extender, and if the user types in the name of the company, e.g. Contoso, and leaves the textbox, there might be 2 Contoso's in the database. The AutoCompleteExtender does not continue when the user leaves the textbox, thus the CustomerId is not determined yet.
I'm using Visual Studio 2008, .NET 3.5, on a Vista 64 bit machine. I have a simple application that has 2 textboxes that are both setup with an AutoCompleteExtender. They both work as expected with the following exception only in IE7. The top textbox has the focus by default, I set this in a pageLoad javascript function.
[Code]....
I enter in some text in the top textbox and after 2 characters (MinimumPrefixLength="2") I get the list from my webservice and I've coded it so that once an item from the list is selected it uses the OnClientItemSelected="eventHandlerPnum"to call the javascript function 'eventHandlerPnum' which sets the document.location to a url with the item as a query parameter. This works fine the first time. If I use the back button when I start entering text into the top textbox I get the browser cached entries in a dropdown after the first character and the list from my webservice doesn't show up after the second character.
I've tried this in Firefox, Chrome, and Safari and they all behave correctly, ie they always display the web service list after the second character.
