Question

I want to organize search by users usernames.
When I write some letters, I want to see list of users,
which usernames start with that letters.
After clicking one of values I have to update users data.

Is there any easy plugin or other way to do it?

I use grail-1.3.2.

Answer 1

You may want to catch the keypress event at the text box: after the user has type, says, 2 letters, use ajax/jQuery to send a request to the server. Then the server perform searching the database and return a list of approriate user.

I once used jquery-ui plugin, and the result is satisfactory.
