I’m kind of like stuck trying to implement YUI autocomplete textbox. here’s the code:

<div id='myAutoComplete'>  <input id='myInput' type='text' />  <div id='myContainer'></div>  </div> <script type='text/javascript'> YAHOO.example.BasicRemote = function() { oDS = new YAHOO.util.XHRDataSource('../User/Home2.aspx'); // Set the responseType oDS.responseType = YAHOO.util.XHRDataSource.TYPE_TEXT; // Define the schema of the delimited results oDS.responseSchema = { recordDelim: '\n', fieldDelim: '\t' }; // Enable caching oDS.maxCacheEntries = 5;  // Instantiate the AutoComplete var oAC = new YAHOO.widget.AutoComplete('myInput', 'myContainer', oDS); oDS.generateRequest = function(sQuery) { return '../User/Home2.aspx?method=' + 'SA&Id='+document.getElementById('lbAttributes')[document.getElementById('lbAttributes').selectedIndex].value +'&query='+sQuery; }; oAC.queryQuestionMark =false; oAC.allowBrowserAutoComplete=false;  return {  oDS: oDS,  oAC: oAC  }; } </script>

  1. To be honest, and I know this isn’t the most helpful answer… you should look into using jQuery these days as it has totally blown YUI out of the water in terms of ease-of-use, syntax and community following.

    Then you could toddle onto http://plugins.jquery.com and find a whole bunch of cool autocomplete plugins with example code etc.

    Hope this helps.
