Class wwAutoComplete
The AutoComplete control provides a wrapper around the jquery-ui AutoComplete control. It provides automatic jQuery script and style loading as well as an easy way to implement the callback handler either as a JSON Service method or directly as a CallbackHandler in the Page.
The control works in combination with a server side handler that provides the JSON data to the control. The data can come from anywhere, but it must conform to the following rules:
- Returns an array of objects
- Each object must contain a label and value property
- Additional properties may be on the object and are returned on selection
- JSON Example:
[ { label: "Micorosoft Corp", value:"MSFT"},{ label="Intel Corpo.", value: "INTC" }]
