I'm trying to integrate the AutoComplete UI into a FancyBox loading AJAX content (An ASP form), and cannot for the life of me get the AutoComplete UI working.
I have it working fine on standard HTML pages (not in FancyBox) but for some reason when I start typing in the designated field, the list of options does not appear.
I don't think its a z-index issue as when I try the form as a standalone page I can see the results in the FireBug debugger but not when I execute it as a FancyBox.
To execute the FancyBox I run this script:
$('.add').on('click', function(){
$.fancybox.open({
href: "/form.asp",
type: "ajax",
helpers : {
overlay: {
css: { 'background': 'rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5)' }
}
},
afterShow : function() {
var url = "https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.16/jquery-ui.js";
$.getScript( url, function() {
$( "#name" ).autocomplete({
source: function( request, response ) {
$.ajax({
url: "/list.asp",
type: "post",
dataType: "json",
data: {
term: request.term
},
success: function( data ) {
response( data );
}
});
},
appendTo: "#search",
open: function() {
var position = $("#search").position(),
left = position.left, top = position.top;
$(".autocomplete-container > ul").css({left: (left + 20) + "px",
top: (top + 4) + "px" });
},
minLength: 2
});
});
},
afterClose : function(){
location.reload();
}
});});
