In Scriptaculous Ajax autocomplter it chooses the first entry by default . how do i stop it from choosing the first option by default??
In controls.js of the Scriptaculous library, on line 286: change ‘this.index = 0;’ to ‘this.index = -1;’. That will fix your problem.
It’s a pain that there’s no option along the lines of { autoSelectFirst: false }. Hopefully in a future release 🙂
On another note, you might want to have a look at: http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Autocomplete
which lets you disable selecting the first option out of the box.
