There is a way i can manually trigger the select and pass custom data into it?
I look into this question, but this just automate the ui and click on the dropdown item.
My jQuery autocomplete initialization is look like this:
$("#id_full_name").autocomplete({
source: "/messages/fax/contact_autocomplete/",
minLength: 1,
focus: function(event, ui) {
event.preventDefault();
},
select: function(event, data) {
if (true) {
/* Do something */
} else {
/* Do something */
};
}
}
Just declare an actual function and call the function as needed:
function select(event, data) {
// ... whatever code
}
$("#id_full_name").autocomplete({
source: "/messages/fax/contact_autocomplete/",
minLength: 1,
focus: function(event, ui) {
event.preventDefault();
},
select: select
});
select(null, "custom data");
