Make it work with div contenteditable element

[bettysteger]

Could it be possible to use like this:

                <div contenteditable="true"
                      ng-model="textInput"
                      autocomplete="{{items}}"></div>

and the directive then uses your ng-textcomplete...

it works just fine when using a textarea, but when using it with a div contenteditable the element has no value so I made the following change in your code:

        getTextFromHeadToCaret: function() {
            var text, selectionEnd, range;
            selectionEnd = this.el.selectionEnd;
            if (typeof selectionEnd === 'number') {
                text = this.el.value.substring(0, selectionEnd);
            } else if (document.selection) {
                range = this.el.createTextRange();
                range.moveStart('character', 0);
                range.moveEnd('textedit');
                text = range.text;
            } else {
                text = this.el.textContent;
            }
            return text;
        },

with this little change the dropdown appears also in contenteditable div, but one problem is that selectionEnd is undefined, and when selecting a item from the dropdown, it will not be inserted .. can you help me solve this?

nice angular module btw!

FYI just saw this pull request: https://github.com/yuku-t/jquery-textcomplete/pull/38 so when jquery-textcomplete 0.2.0 is finally out, it would be cool if you can update that too :)

[bettysteger]

what do you think of updating it now/soon? there is not much code to change: https://github.com/yuku-t/jquery-textcomplete/pull/38/files

Sorry, @lpsBetty I'm currently on the spring festival in China and I do not have access to internet. Sorry for the delay and I'll update the code when I come back.

[bettysteger]
