I have two JQuery UI autocomplete input fields.
When an option is selected in the first one, the value of the selection will be used as condition for a database query that will send the source data for the second autocomplete field.
My problem is how do I send the value of the first selection to the PHP page via Post method?
The code so far is shown below (this code is from a tutorial which used the GET method; but I want to use Post):
<script>
$("input#divisions").autocomplete ({
//this is the first input
source : [
{ value: "81", label: "City1" },
{ value: "82", label: "City2" },
{ value: "83", label: "City3" } ],
minLength : 0,
select: function(event, ui) {
$('#divisions').val(ui.item.label);
return false;
},
focus: function(event, ui){
$('#divisions').val(ui.item.label);
return false;
},
change: function(event, ui){
//the tutorial has this value sent by variables in the URL; I want the selection value sent by POST. How can I change this?
c_t_v_choices = "c_t_v_choices.php?filter=" + ui.item.value;
$("#c_t_v").autocomplete("option", "source", c_t_v_choices);
}
}).focus (function (event)
{
$(this).autocomplete ("search", "");
});
$("#c_t_v").autocomplete({
source: "",
minLength: 2,
select: function(event,ui){
//$('#city').val(ui.item.city);
}
});
</script>
Can anyone please help?
