I have several input boxes on a page, all with the autocomplete class, underneath each of them I have a div that I want the autocomplete results to append to. However, if I just say to append to the div of a class then it just does the first div and not to the one closest. I've tried to put together some javascript to fix this, but I've run into a brick wall and keep getting the same error. Any help that can be provided is appreciated.
Here is my javascript:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
var div_id;
$("input.autocomplete").autocomplete({
set: div_id = $(".autocomplete").keyup(function () {
$('.autocomplete').closest('div').find('.container').attr('id');
}),
appendTo: div_id,
source: function (request, response) {
$.ajax({
url: '/Home/GetUsers',
type: "POST",
dataType: "json",
data: { query: request.term },
success: function (data) {
response($.map(data, function (item) {
return { label: item, value: item };
}));
}
});
}
});
})
</script>
Here is what the view looks like:
Employee Name (Team Leader): <input type ="text" name="empName1" class="autocomplete"/>
<div class ="container" id = "container0"></div>
<br/>
<br/>
Employee Name (Event Process Owner): <input type ="text" name="empName2" class="autocomplete"/>
<div class ="container" id = "container1"></div>
<br/>
<br/>
Employee Name (Sponsor): <input type ="text" name="sponsor" class="autocomplete"/>
<div class ="container" id = "container2"></div>
<br/>
<br/>
Employee Name: <input type ="text" name="empName3" class="autocomplete"/>
<div class ="container" id = "container3"></div>
<br/>
Employee Name: <input type ="text" name="empName4" class="autocomplete"/>
<div class ="container" id = "container4"></div>
<br/>
And the error I get when I try to start the project is "Microsoft JScript runtime error: Unexpected call to method or property access." When I get this error it highlights this in my jquery.min.js (1.8.3):
this.appendChild(e)
