I use the asp.net webservice to use it in the jQuery UI autocomplete plugin, and here is the data that I get.
{"d":[
{
"__type":"WebS.Model.SearchModel",
"MainCommodityId":1,
"MainCommodityName":"Pulses",
"SubcommodityId":3,
"SubCommodityName":"Urid Dal",
"BrandId":3,
"BrandName":"President"
},
{
"__type":"WebS.Model.SearchModel",
"MainCommodityId":1,
"MainCommodityName":"Pulses",
"SubcommodityId":1,
"SubCommodityName":"Red Gram",
"BrandId":4,
"BrandName":"President"
}
]
}
This is the script I use:
$(document).ready(function () {
$(".input-search").autocomplete({
source: function (request, response) {
$.ajax({
url: '/WebServices/GetAllBrandNames.asmx/getAllBrands',
data: "{ 'data': '" + request.term + "'}",
dataType: "json",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
type: "POST",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
success: function (data) {
response($.map(data.d, function (item) {
return {
value: item.BrandName,
label: item.SubCommodityName
}
}))
},
error: function (response) {
alert('error');
},
failure: function (response) {
alert('faii');
}
});
},
select: function (e, i) {
console.log(i.MainCommodityId);
console.log(i.SubcommodityId);
console.log(i.BrandId);
},
minLength: 1
}).autocomplete("instance")._renderItem = function (ul, item) {
return $("<li></li>")
.data("item.autocomplete", item)
.append("<a>" + "" + item.BrandName + " in " + item.MainCommodityName + " - " + item.SubCommodityName + "</a>")
.appendTo(ul);
};
});
Problems:
- When I tried to enter the say: pre keyword , the above output goes to json. However, the list returns only one item "President", where it should display 2 items.
- The list displays "undefined to undefined - undefined" instead of the values after adding the function
.autocomplete("instance")._renderItem. console.log also undefined after selecting an item.
How can these issues be fixed?
