if I type "xyz" into the autocompleteinput field, the jQuery autocomplete menu appears. I choose one value and the value of the autocompleteinput field is set to the choosen value. However, idealforms didn't notice that something was written into the input field. So the valdation fail.
My questions: How can i tell idealforms to check the current value, which was written into the input field via jQuery?
I tried to trigger an event, like keyup, blur, focus etc. on the input field: nothing. I tried to change the span class via jQuery to valid etc. Nothing works fine.
Any suggest, what I can do? I am looking for a method to tell idealform that there is a new value. fresh () etc. doesn't work either.
Hello,
I'd like to integrate jQuery.autocomplete for a formular input, which is validated by idealforms. My code example:
<form id="mainform" class="mainform"> <div><label for="autocompleteinput">Input:</label><input id="autocompleteinput" name="autocompleteinput" type="text" placeholder="e.g. Input"/></div> </form>
var $mainform = $('#mainform').idealforms({ 'autocompleteinput': { filters: 'required ajax', data: { ajax: { url: 'myurl.php' } } }}).data('idealforms');
$("#autocompleteinput").autocomplete(...);
if I type "xyz" into the autocompleteinput field, the jQuery autocomplete menu appears. I choose one value and the value of the autocompleteinput field is set to the choosen value.

Thank you for any hint. :)
