Hopefully I am explaining this correctly, I have a long predefined list of items (products in my db) and I would like the user to be able to type and auto complete a product, however if that product / word is NOT in the list, I don’t want to allow additional characters to be typed. So the auto complete would ideally block additional input if that input does not exist in the list.
Does something like that exist for the current jQuery UI / jQuery plugin? Or are there mods? I wish to use this method to speed up product selection, but not return a ‘not found’ page if someone types in something else.
Thank you in advance 🙂
This AutoComplete plugin has a function that allows you to test the value to make sure it is in the list.
