Autocomplete and User define keyboard
- by Geetha
Hi All,
I am using asp:button to create a keyboard with A-Z and 0-9 for touch screen using Java script. This keyboard is linked with one textbox. If we click one button corresponding text will be displayed on the textbox. Its working fine. I have included the autocomplete feature to this textbox using jquery JQuery Autocomplete.
Problem:
The autocomplete is not working if i my user define keyboard. How to modify my key buttons as keyboard keys? Is it possible? Is there any other way to achieve this?
Code:
<asp:TextBox ID="txtSearch" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:Button ID="zero" runat="server" Text="0" CssClass="myclass" OnClientClick="return typeLetter(this);" TabIndex="20"/>
function typeLetter(currentbutton) {
if (previousActiveElement != null) {
if (previousActiveElement == 'antSearchText'){
var position = document.getElementById('position').value;
if (position == '') {
alert('chk position');
} else {
var existingString = document.getElementById(previousActiveElement).value;
var beforeString = existingString.substring(0, position);
var afterString = existingString.substring(position, existingString.length);
document.getElementById(previousActiveElement).value = beforeString + currentbutton.value + afterString;
setCaretPosition(document.getElementById(previousActiveElement), parseInt(position) + 1);
setCaretPosition(document.getElementById(previousActiveElement), parseInt(position) + 1);
}
}
}
return false;
}
