one more question.
This is the website: http: //www.revewit.com/
Check out input field on the left, it 's the work of jQueryUI autocomplete. What I want to do is place a placeholder, text which will disappear after I click the input field, and I can't find a way to do it. This is the code I have for now:
< script type = "text/javascript" > (function(jQuery) {
jQuery.widget("ui.combobox", {
_create: function() {
var input, self = this,
select = this.element.hide(),
selected = select.children(":selected"),
value = selected.val() ? selected.text() : "ppp",
wrapper = this.wrapper = jQuery("<span>").addClass("ui-combobox").insertAfter(select);
input = jQuery("<input>").appendTo(wrapper).val(value).addClass("ui-state-default ui-combobox-input").autocomplete({
delay: 0,
minLength: 0,
source: function(request, response) {
var matcher = new RegExp(jQuery.ui.autocomplete.escapeRegex(request.term), "i");
response(select.children("option").map(function() {
var text = jQuery(this).text();
if (this.value && (!request.term || matcher.test(text))) return {
label: text.replace(
new RegExp("(?![^&;]+;)(?!<[^<>]*)(" + jQuery.ui.autocomplete.escapeRegex(request.term) + ")(?![^<>]*>)(?![^&;]+;)", "gi"), "<strong>$1</strong>"),
value: text,
option: this
};
}));
},
select: function(event, ui) {
document.location.href = ui.item.option.value;
ui.item.option.selected = true;
self._trigger("selected", event, {
item: ui.item.option
});
},
change: function(event, ui) {
if (!ui.item) {
var matcher = new RegExp("^" + jQuery.ui.autocomplete.escapeRegex(jQuery(this).val()) + "$", "i"),
valid = false;
select.children("option").each(function() {
if (jQuery(this).text().match(matcher)) {
this.selected = valid = true;
return false;
}
});
if (!valid) {
// remove invalid value, as it didn't match anything
jQuery(this).val("");
select.val("");
input.data("autocomplete").term = "";
return false;
}
}
}
}).addClass("ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-corner-left");
input.data("autocomplete")._renderItem = function(ul, item) {
return jQuery("<li></li>").data("item.autocomplete", item).append("<a>" + item.label + "</a>").appendTo(ul);
};
jQuery("<a>").attr("tabIndex", -1).attr("title", "Show All Items").appendTo(wrapper).button({
icons: {
primary: "ui-icon-triangle-1-s"
},
text: false
}).removeClass("ui-corner-all").addClass("ui-corner-right ui-combobox-toggle").click(function() {
// close if already visible
if (input.autocomplete("widget").is(":visible")) {
input.autocomplete("close");
return;
}
// work around a bug (likely same cause as #5265)
jQuery(this).blur();
// pass empty string as value to search for, displaying all results
input.autocomplete("search", "");
input.focus();
});
},
destroy: function() {
this.wrapper.remove();
this.element.show();
jQuery.Widget.prototype.destroy.call(this);
}
});
})(jQuery);
jQuery(function() {
jQuery("#combobox").combobox();
jQuery("#toggle").click(function() {
jQuery("#combobox").toggle();
});
});
