Hi,
I am using script.aculo.us javascript for Autocompleter for Suggest Field.
Doc is below
It works fine, but I have an issue for which I need help. Here is what I am doing. I have a state select box, when user selects the state I pass selected state and the value that's user inputs as a paramter, so that I can get the list of city's for that state.
Problem : If the state dropdown list is pre-selected (ie., the word selected in select options) it always passed the value that has the word "selected" in options.
So the question is how do I dynamically set the value for the State as the Select is pre proulated from DB.
Blow code works fine.
Code that does not work (Its not passing the selected value but it passes the value that has the word selected) It is always passing MD even If I select VA
Help is greatly appriceated.
Thanks
Gorge
