JQuery UI Autocomplete For Multiple Key/value Selections In .NET?
Jul 27, 2010
How do I handle selection of multiple items with autocomplete? The objects I return from my JSON web service contain an ID and a Label - the ID is the ID of the entity in the database, and the Label is some text to display for the user.
At the moment, when I select an item in the autocomplete dropdown, the value of the item's ID is stored in a hidden field, and the label is displayed. When I remove the label, I clear the ID of the hidden field - this is done by adding an anchor element to the DOM that handles this.
Now, I want to have multiple selections. I want to be able to enter some text, get an autocomplete dropdown, select an item and some other options, then be able to click an 'Add New' button or the likes to be able to select another instance.
For example, I'd type in a person's name and get an autocomplete selection. I'd select a person, and then enter their age, and click 'Add'. The person's id, name, and age will be stored somewhere so that I can retrieve it on the server side when I post back.
I'm not quite sure how to do it? I'm thinking of a hidden field - I assume that many hidden fields of the same name/id turn up on the server side as an array, which I can then use. But I haven't tried this yet in ASP.NET.
I'm trying to use the AutoComplete feature of JQuery to update multiple fields on an ASP.NET web page. The individual textbox is functioning perfectly, but I cannot figure out how to update multiple textboxes on the page once the user selects.
I've read many suggestions here that state I need to implement a result handler, but my intellisense is not showing that as an option, and IE I get a JS error saying that the object doesn't support this method.
I am linking to jquery-1.4.2.min.js and jquery-ui-1.8.5.custom.min.js .Here's my code:
I found this usefull code in this website but i was wondering a way to select a multiple names in textbox inside GridView. I have seen one exampe on this website but the example is not in GridView. Here is my code that works fine now but it does not let me select multiple names:
I'm using jQuery AutoComplete Plugin in ASP.Net as outlined in the article below, so that as a user types in a .Net textbox they get a list of options to choose them. This works fine, but what I need to do now is call a server side function when the user has finished typing or has choosen a value, rather than the user having to submit the value by pressing a button.
This seems like it should be prettty easy - but I just can't get it to work!I have an enum in my model, which I want to display as a list of checkboxes. The user can select multiple checkboxes, and I want to save this in the database.
So the enum is like so (approx 20 elements unabridged):
public enum ReferrerType { [Description("No Data")] NoData = 9999,[code]....
And it doesn't work! I guess I'm missing something obvious, but I can't work out what. There are no errors - just an empty database table where referrers should be.
I have a requirement to allow users select multiple "Agencies" and populate the "Types" based on that selection. Cascading Drop down would have been a great fit if there is no mutliple selection involved. I am wondering if I could use a popup dropdown with chekcboxes. However, these checkboxes need to be populated dynamically by a web service. I am not very familiar with AJAX toolkit and what control would work best in this case.
I have a web form that when completed sends an e-mail with the data from the form. I have a list box that permits muptiple selections and it post to the email with the following code.
sb.Append("<br />Products of Interest:...."); for(int i = 0; i < ListBox2.Items.Count;i++) { if(ListBox2.Items[i].Selected) sb.Append(ListBox2.Items[i].Text); }
It works fine except that when multiple tiems are selected, they run together on the form. Instead of "Beds Dressers Tables", I get "BedsDressersTables".
Does anyone know if it is possible to have Cascading DropDown Lists which are based on the selected value of more than a single list. Example - I have four tables in a database as follows:
Product PartA PartB PartC
The items in Product are made up by one record from each of the other three tables (PartA + PartB + PartC = Product). What I wish to do is have 3 Cascading DropDown lists which refer to the three individual parts which can be used to select items fromt he Product table.
The first two work no problem but when it comes to the third the list is condition on only items which have the selects of both the first two lists.
New at SQL and ASP.NET C#, bear with me. I have a form to insert into mulitple tables of a sql db. The form includes two listbox's, categoryIDlistbox and subcategoryIDlistbox, both with the ability to select multiple choices. Idea is that there is one record for the user created (Table1) and then that user can have multiple categories and subcategories assign to him/her in Table2
Table1: userID fname lname etc...
Table2 userID categoryID subcategoryID
If I understand correctly I need to use an array to take the multiple listbox items and save them to the tables. Not sure where the array goes in my code behind page to process the listbox and loop for muliplte selections. Here's my current code behind, where do I place the listbox array?
What I want to do is make a page that will list all the reports in the Reports table and have a checkbox next to each name. A user can check each report they use and when they click "submit" it will insert each ReportID into the Usage table.I'm guessing that I should use a GridView to display all the Reports?How would I make it so that the "submit" button would insert each "checked" record into the Usage table?
I'm storing details about clothing in a database, and I need to save multiple entries for colour. For example, a user selects a top, and then needs to select the colours red, black, white and blue from say a group of tick boxes. How should I store this infomation, and what web controls would I use to help the user make there selection?
the form has 15 items to choose with radio buttons, any number can be selected. I would like to process them as a 'group' so I can do something like loop thru them, checking if each one has been selected to build a list and also be saving them to a table row, etc but it seems all the designations as a list or group make it mutually exclusive. just looking for better coding than checking them with an if statement or similar so the question is if there is some way to designate the radio buttons as a group but no force the group to be mutually exclusive
I have a list box that allows for multiple selections (holding down the control key) the selection quantity is basically unlimited, but realistically should never be more than 50 to 100 items from the listing of about 3000 items.
I need to collect the list of selected items from the drop down list and retrieve each of their full records from the item master and populate a gridview.

I could really use some building the SQL statement to select the choosen record data. I think I have the selection list worked out by populating an array but I am not clear on how to build the SQL query.
My question is I have multiple Checkbox Lists and i want to compare it and Filter Datalist records on Checkbox list checked event.. (I want filtering something like [URL]
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq;
[Code].....
My problem is If first checkbox list is checked and user clicks on second checkbox list then i want to compare both checkboxes and populate result based on both checkboxes.
On my page I have textbox in which user enters value. When 3 values are entered the autocomplete panel shows.In the panel the names and surnames of all available people are shown bassed on the value user enters. Bellow each name and surname is picture of each "candidate". However images are stored on another server (using https "protection") and some people don't have picture.

I have this menu which has z-index of 600.I also use autocomplete, and I set the zIndex option to 700, I also tried setting the z-index in the css file, but no matter what i do, the ul list the autocomplete script generats always has z-index of 1.
this is what i see when i "inspect element" using chrome(the results ul):
[Code]....
no css alteration will help there, since its written into the style attribute of the ul element, and the zIndex option of autocomplete seems to do nothing also.for now, i can handle it by simply setting the z-index of the menu to 0, but thats a realy dirty workaround since i do want to control the z index of the autocomplete results ul.
I built a modal dialog using the ModalPopupExtender from the AjaxControlToolkit. In that dialog, I'm trying to use the jQuery Autocomplete feature on a textbox. The values for the autocompletion are fetched from a webservice.I can see that the webservice is returning a result set, and I can see that being picked up in the Autocomplete code. However, the list is not displayed to the user to pick from.I thought this might be a z-Index issue, so I specified 'z-index: 9999 !important;' in my stylesheet. But that doesn't make a difference.
