Thanks, it seems like there is indeed a bug there when minChars and
mustMatch are combined. I'll look into it.

Yes, It is fixed. But new issue has came out. When you set mustMatch and minChars, the selected value of textbox became empty on focusout.

from jquery-autocomplete.

Oops, you are right.

from jquery-autocomplete.

Fixed just now, please test in your own environment and report back when it's not working.

from jquery-autocomplete.

Now, Must matching is not working. Kindly update same in live demo and share demo url.

I'll write tests or demo's for this tomorrow. Sorry about the mess-up,
I think I changed something to optimize that had more effects than
planned.

I have reopened this because I want to make sure it is fixed. However, if I try the current version I see a working mustMatch. Perhaps I am using different parameters, please specify yours and explain what is wrong.

I have uploaded new version with same html & js code. Only plugins updated. Check it on this url. mustMatch is not working.

URL is

http://www.dwwsclient.com/demo/

I think I understand.

mustMatch WITHOUT selectFirst is workign fine.

When selectFirst AND mustMatch are set, and you type a text that cannot be found, but has given matches before, selectFirst selects the text that was matched earlier. tricky one.

In your demo, please see that typing newqqq in the first box gives the unwanted behavior. Typing xzzqqq, mustMatch works fine.

If you agree this is the problem, I will start working on a fix.

Yes, It is a problem. But in earlier version I have seen that while typing unmatched character input box became empty in mustMatch case. But in current version it is not behaving same. It should be empty on unmatched character.

OK, I'll start working on fix.

Due to optimization the results were kept even when mustMatch / minChars conditions were not met. Upon exiting, selectFirst took the first result, regardless of the current input value. This update should fix that. Thank you for testing, you are a great help.

from jquery-autocomplete.

It is not fixed yet. It has still some issues.

1. In every case it returns values. If noMatch found it return a blank
   . In notMatch case autocomplete should hide.
2. In notMatch found case textbox value should be empty as it was in earlier version. (example is on http://www.paryatak.com).

I agree with 1 (no empty ul)

I have to investigate 2 in relation with minChars

I fixed 1.

I don't know about 2. You are right that it used to work like that but I got several complaints form people that their typed string disappeared after a typo.

from jquery-autocomplete.

I'm keeping #2 as it is for now, and closing this issue. If mustMatch is set, any invalid input will be cleared once the field has been left alone.
