ajax + autocomplete : two ajax calls are sent

[bizantom]

Hi,

here is my code :

$('#location').textext({
   plugins : 'autocomplete ajax',
   autocomplete: {
       dropdownMaxHeight : 'auto'
   },
   ajax : {
    url : 'myurl',
        dataType : 'json',
    cacheResults : false,
    delay: 1
   }
});

And that's what happens : the first time I enter a keyword, two ajax calls are sent :

<myurl>?q=keyword

and

<myurl>?q=

so the requested suggestions appear and then disappear. After that, if I modify the keyword, everything goes well. The problem occurs only the first time.

I have a fix but don't know if it is the good way to do it. In the method onShowDropdown of the autocomplete puglin, I replaced :

 if(!suggestions)
    return self.trigger(EVENT_GET_SUGGESTIONS);

by

if(!suggestions && !self.core().hasPlugin('ajax'))
      return self.trigger(EVENT_GET_SUGGESTIONS);

What do you think about this?

Thanks in advance,

Thomas

Hi Mirindra,

as said in the description of the issue, I found a solution. It consists in modifying the onShowDropdown function. You can see the fix in the pull request #146

Hope that helps,
