scriptaculous problem

[alohaaaron]

Hi, For some reason the demo examples of scriptaculouos to do an autocomplete drop down don't work on IE. I download the latest version of scriptaculous and run the ajax_autocompleter2_test and it doesn't give me the dropdown lists in IE but it works fine in firefox. But their example here

http://demo.script.aculo.us/ajax/autocompleter

works fine in both IE and Firefox. Isn't it compatible with both browswers? Thanks, Aaron

Are you running this locally (file://) or on a web server (

http://)?

If the former, you probably wont get it to work too well without changing your security settings.

I'd advise testing on a web server (either locally or on a hosting company somewhere).

Also, if the AJAX call is going cross-domain, you'd need a proxy (e.g. Snoopy, etc).

Hope this helps,
Dan

Thanks Billy. I downloaded their files and ran their tests locally. file:// but it only works on firefox, not IE.

I also tried running their tests on a web server under our domain and it also failed on IE. Shouldn't it work with both browsers?

Running on a web server, I'd expect it to work in both browsers, yes.
