Question

I have an input field called email class keyup-an. I validate it easy with this, but it works or when an individual inputs the field manually. How do i make it work also for selecting historical data. when you click email and yesterday you put [e-mail], the history list drops down and you can select it, but its not a keyup.

I TRIED the same function after but with .change or .click and it didnt work. Can you guys please suggest?VALID

$('.keyup-an').keyup(function() {
    $('span.error-keyup-1').hide();
    var inputVal = $(this).val();
    var numericReg = /^[a-zA-Z0-9_ ]{2,30}$/;
    if(!numericReg.test(inputVal)) {
        $(this).css('background', '#FAC3C3');
        $(this).after('<span class="error error-keyup-1">Validationfail</span>');
    } 
    else {
        $(this).css('background', 'lightgreen');
    }
});

Answer 1

you can do this by

autocomplete='off'

example

<form name="form1" id="form1" method="post" autocomplete="off">

or try something like

$(input).autocomplete().keyup(function(event) {
  event.stopPropagation();
}).keydown(function() {
$(this).autocomplete('search', $(input).val());   
});
