AutoComplete with Key-Value in grid, showing key when focus

I am using paramquery grid component in which I am trying to use autocomplete.
Column Model for branch:
{ title: "Branch", dataIndx: "branchId", width: 150,
filter: { type: "select",
condition: 'equal',
prepend: { '': '--All--' },
listeners: ['change'],
valueIndx: "branchId",
labelIndx: "branchName",
options: branchList,
},
editor: {
type: "textbox",
init: autoCompleteEditor
//type: function (ui) { return dropdowneditor(this, ui); }
},
render: function (ui) {
for (var i = 0; i < branchList.length; i++) {
var option = branchList[i];
if (option.branchId == ui.rowData.branchId) {
return option.branchName;
}
}
}
}
autoCompleteEditorMethod:
var autoCompleteEditor = function (ui) {
var $inp = ui.$cell.find("input");
//initialize the editor
$inp.autocomplete({
source: function(request, response) {
var rows = imAutocompleteJSONParse(branchList);// this method converting my JSON object into Value and label format.
return response(rows);
},
selectItem: { on: true }, //custom option
highlightText: { on: true }, //custom option
minLength: 0,
select: function(event, ui) {
event.preventDefault();
$(this).val(ui.item.label);
},
focus: function(event, ui) {
event.preventDefault();
$("#search").val(ui.item.label);
}
}).focus(function () {
//open the autocomplete upon focus
$(this).autocomplete("search", "");
});
}
I get branch id into my grid and I have branchList JSON which have branch id & branch Name. Inside grid my render function showing branchName on UI.
But when I click on searchable dropdown I'm getting branch id.
Below snapshot may explain my issue properly.
Summary of issue: I am getting branch id in Grid. With help of render method I am able to show branch name on grid. but when I click on textbox I getting branch id.

Like blackmiaool suggests in his comment, this question would be easier to answer with a live demo using something like JSFiddle.
Based on what I can see in your question, which isn't that much, there are a few areas I would take a second look at.
The Source function in JQuery.autoComplete. Where is branchList coming from? I don't see it declared anywhere and why are you not using the 'request' param?
Not sure what your custom properties are doing but it might be a good idea to verify those are not interfering with the results.
Edit 1: Looking back at the code you posted I think I see where your branchList variable is coming from. It would be very helpful to see your imAutocompleteJSONParse() method because I believe that may be where things are breaking down.

jquery call a button from a different page

Im using a jstree custom context menu and Im trying to define the create option. I already have a button that performs the intended logic, however it is on a different page. How would I go about using javascript/jQuery to call a button that is on a different page?
Here is my context menu in the javascript file in my page called middlenav.aspx. The button I wish to reference is on a page called navbar.aspx
UPDATE: I was able to get it partially working. I can call the button but it causes my current page to refresh. How can I avoid refreshing the current page middlenav.aspx?
"contextmenu": {
"items": function ($node) {
return {
"Create": {
"label": "Create",
"action": function (obj) {
createItem(obj);
}
},
"Rename": {
"label": "Edit",
"action": function (obj) {
this.rename(obj);
}
},
"Delete": {
"label": "Delete",
"action": function (obj) {
this.remove(obj);
}
}
};
}
},
// Updated
function createItem(obj) {
$.ajax({
url: "navbar.aspx",
success: function (data) {
$('body').append(data);
$("#btnNewItem").click();
}
});

I'm not sure if this is the most effective way, but I was able to accomplish it with the following function:
function createItem(obj) {
$.get("navbar.aspx", function (data) {
$('myHiddenDiv').append(data);
$("#btnNewItem").click();
window.stop();
});
}

JsTree contextmenu error

A javascript error indicating that this.rename(obj) is not defined when selecting to rename a node.
JavaScript runtime error: Object doesn't support property or method 'rename'
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#marketing-category-tree').jstree({
themes: {
theme: "default",
dots: true,
icons: true
},
contextmenu: {
items: {
"rename" : {
"label": "Rename",
"action": function (obj) { this.rename(obj); }
}
}
},
plugins: ["themes", "html_data", "ui", "crrm", "contextmenu"]
})
.bind("rename.jstree", function (e, data) {
debugger;
alert("RENAMING!!!");
});
});
I have also tried the following code and am able to select and do a rename but cannot capture the change event.
$('#marketing-category-tree').jstree({
themes: {
theme: "default",
dots: true,
icons: true
},
plugins: ["themes", "html_data", "ui", "crrm", "contextmenu"]
})
.bind("rename.jstree", function (e, data) {
alert("RENAMING!!!");
});

I think the method you are looking for is edit. But first you have to get the node of the tree. Try to use this code below:
...
"contextmenu" : {
"items" : renameItem : { // The "rename" menu item
label : "Rename",
action : function (obj) {
n = $('#marketing-category-tree').jstree(true).get_node(obj.reference); //get node
$('#marketing-category-tree').jstree(true).edit(n); //puts the node into edit mode
}
}
}
...
HTH

Your first code example ain't gonna work because
"action": function (obj) { this.rename(obj); }
in this case "this" is a point to Window object the next things is that documentation http://www.jstree.com/api/ doesn't have mentions of method rename and only rename_node
Here is the working example (right click at any node and then click on rename)
http://jsfiddle.net/w9snc6z1/4/
Pay attention that rename_node also not working but according to documentation
set_text: set the text value of a node. Used internally, please use rename_node(obj, val).
it's not recommended to use set_text instead of rename_node.

you should get node of the tree with var tree = $("#marketing-category-tree").jstree(true);then operate on nodes.
u can use this example
goodluck

JQuery Autocomplete - Force choice

I have a form working with JQuery Autocomplete and it works fairly well. Now I need another element to force a user to select a valid choice in the autocomplete input. The can type whatever they want and everything is filtered by autocomplete. But they have to select something from the served list.
If they don't the inputfield must get blanked. Tried out a few things with change and select to no avail. This is the code of my autocomplete. I saw some examples operation with data instead of source. This seems to make a big difference
$(function () {
$("#sp_name").autocomplete({
minLength: 2,
delay: 300,
source: function (request, response) {
$.ajax({
url: "./Search/",
dataType: "json",
data: {
term: request.term,
zoekterm: $("#al").html()
},
success: function (data) {
response($.map(data, function (item) {
return {
label: item.naam,
value: item.naam
}
}));
}
});
}
})
});

Try this:
I am using a local list here, but you can achieve this via json data source too.
Just add a change event. The only problem this can have is that if user does not click on
the suggestion, it will turn blank (even if user is entering the same text as suggestion).
It will be mandatory for user to click on the suggestion.
var list = ["c", "c++", "c#","Basic","Mongo"];
$('#auto').autocomplete({
source: list,
select: function (event, ui) {
$(this).val(ui.item ? ui.item : " ");},
change: function (event, ui) {
if (!ui.item) {
this.value = '';}
//else { Return your label here }
}
});
JsFidle for it: http://jsfiddle.net/sarcastic/7KdZP/112/
In your case, Change function would be something like this:
change: function (event, ui)
{
if (!ui.label) { this.value = ''; }
}

Capturing the newly created node with JSTree contextmenu

I'm trying to capture the name of the newly created node with jstree's contextmenu. I can capture the name of the parent node that I'm adding the new node under (with obj.text()), however, what I really need is the name of the newly created node.
So, somehow, there needs to be an "onChange" event that can be called within jstree contextmenu that fires once the user hits enter on that newly created node?
Any ideas? I've enclosed the contextmenu code:
}).jstree({
json_data: {
data: RBSTreeModel,
ajax: {
type: "POST",
data: function (n) {
return {
NodeID: n.attr("id").substring(4),
Level: n.attr("name").substring(7)
};
},
url: function (node) {
return "/Audit/GetRequirementsTreeStructure";
},
success: function (new_data) {
return new_data;
}
}
},
contextmenu: {
items: function($node) {
return {
createItem : {
"label" : "Create New Branch",
"action" : function(obj) { this.create(obj); alert(obj.text())},
"_class" : "class"
},
renameItem : {
"label" : "Rename Branch",
"action" : function(obj) { this.rename(obj);}
},
deleteItem : {
"label" : "Remove Branch",
"action" : function(obj) { this.remove(obj); }
}
};
}
},
plugins: ["themes", "json_data", "ui", "crrm", "contextmenu"]
});

You can bind to the "create.jstree" event, which will fire after a node is created. In the callback of that event, you will have access to the newly created node and can rollback/revert the create node action if you choose. The documentation for it is lacking, but there is an example on the demo page. Here is another example that came from my code:
}).jstree({... You jstree setup code...})
.bind("create.jstree", function(e, data) {
// use your dev tools to examine the data object
// It is packed with lots of useful info
// data.rslt is your new node
if (data.rslt.parent == -1) {
alert("Can not create new root directory");
// Rollback/delete the newly created node
$.jstree.rollback(data.rlbk);
return;
}
if (!FileNameIsValid(data.rslt.name)) {
alert("Invalid file name");
// Rollback/delete the newly created node
$.jstree.rollback(data.rlbk);
return;
}
.. Your code etc...
})

Based on Bojin Li's answer, it seems that the latest version of jsTree uses the event "create_node" instead of "create":
}).jstree({... You jstree setup code...})
.bind("create_node.jstree", function(e, data) {
...
});
