I’ve seen this approached with a php script to fill the autocomplete..and didn’t quite understand it. Anyhoo, I have a bunch of names and associated URLs to photos. I want to have the names as the autocomplete dictionary with their associated images…kinda like the facebook search. Don’t really know where to start.
Thanks!
Edit:
By don’t know where to start, I mean specific to the images.. I don’t need to learn the alphabet lol. I have the textfield autocompleting with names and I just want to add photos beside the names, preferably clientside.
This autocomplete example on the jqueryui site might be useful for you as a starting point.
Assuming you’ve got your names and photo URLs in a database somewhere, the jqueryui autocomplete should work for you pretty smoothly if you use the ‘source’ option to point to a server-side script in whatever language you’re comfortable working in, which just has to query your DB and return JSON.
