Jquery autocomplete on select event

rated 0 times [ 70] [ 3] / answers: 1 / hits: 76624 / 12 Years ago, thu, october 4, 2012, 12:00:00

I am using jQuery autocomplete and its working fine, now I want to store a variable in session from jQuery when following condition occurs.

When someone types any word jQuery shows suggestion dropdown, if someone select an item from that suggestion dropdown.

I want to capture above point and store a variable in session.

I searched Google, StackOverflow but find no relevant solution. My code for autocomplete is following:

  $(.autosearch-smart).autocomplete('Home/GetCompanyNames', {

    minChars: 1,

    width: 402,

    matchContains: word,

    autoFill: true

});

and this is what I tried to do:

  $(.autosearch-smart).autocomplete('Home/GetCompanyNames', {

    minChars: 1,

    width: 402,

    matchContains: word,

    autoFill: true,

    select: function (a, b) {

        alert(selected);

    }



});

EDIT : Select event handler is also not working

I am using asp.net MVC3 with C#. Please help me out and thanks in advance.

So if I understand correctly you want to store the selected value in a variable sessions

you can get the value out of the selected item through following code:

  $(.autosearch-smart).autocomplete('Home/GetCompanyNames', {

minChars: 1,

width: 402,

matchContains: word,

autoFill: true,

select: function (event, ui) {

    var label = ui.item.label;

    var value = ui.item.value;

   //store in session

  document.valueSelectedForAutocomplete = value 

}

});

the value and label are json objects that came from the server

Hope this helps
