Hi,
Auto completion does not seem to work for me in normal input fields. Is this a known issue or is there some special techniques I need to know about? I am using ops-3.5.1.200703310056 Thanks, Franco -- You receive this message as a subscriber of the [hidden email] mailing list.

Hi Again,
I should have explained - the input field does get populated once I select from the generated pick list, but the associated instance data field does not get updated.

Franco,
It's not clear to me what the problem is as you don't describe the problem with enough details. Can you provide an XHTML+XForms sample that runs in the sandbox and shows the problem? -Erik franco pace wrote: > Hi Again, > I should have explained - the input field does get populated once I > select from the generated pick list, but the associated instance data field > does not get updated. > > Thanks again, > Franco > > franco pace wrote: >> Hi, >> Auto completion does not seem to work for me in normal input fields. >> Is this a known issue or is there some special techniques I need to >> know about? >> I am using ops-3.5.1.200703310056 >> >> Thanks, >> Franco >> > -- Orbeon Forms - Web Forms for the Enterprise Done the Right Way http://www.orbeon.com/ -- You receive this message as a subscriber of the [hidden email] mailing list.

Hi Erik,
I have found the same behaviour with the Government forms example application. I have added the 'Instance-inspector' to the DMV form. I have attached four images: fig1 shows the form field 'firstname' being filled in. I have typed 'p'. At this point Firefox creates the dropdown auto-completion list that contains 'pace'. Fig2 shows the state of the instance data. Note that it currently just has 'p' (since it is all I have typed). Fig3 shows the filled in form field once I select 'pace' from the dropdown list. Fig4 shows the state of the instance data AFTER I have selected 'pace' from the drop down. If I type anything directly into the field - the instance data gets populated immediately. But anytime I select from the firefox generated drop list - the instance data does not get updated. Hope this helps.

I tried to reproduce this, but I don't get to have my Firefox make any suggestion; even if I type something that I had type already previously in that same field. How do you get Firefox to suggest "Pace" or anything else (in my case for the last name field I expected Firefox would suggest Vernet as I entered that in countless forms before)?

Hi Alex,
I wish I knew! Same as you in some forms I type the same thing over and over and firefox does NOT suggest anything. In others I get the dropdown list. I don't do anything different (that I know of). I was hoping you guys may know more about firefox and browser behaviour than I do. Must be some firefox setting (but why only some fields are affected - I don't know) I am using firefox 2.0.0.6 on Windows XP. I'll try to do some more investigations - wish me luck!? Thanks again for looking at it.

Hi Franco,
From your screenshots, it seems that your Firefox has some kind of AutoFill form completion extension. Usually Google Toolbar behaves this way. Sometimes Orbeon XForms input fields do not send xforms-value-changed event, if field's value is pasted in form clipboard. So if value is "pasted" in by an AutoFill extension, then I believe it won't send xforms-value-changed event too and AutoComplete field won't react on this new value.

The Google Toolbar has an auto-fill feature, but by default Firefox will do some suggestions for normal form fields on its own. And I do have that working for instance in the Google search field, but not on that page. Strange.

Instead Firefox sends an "input" event, which is new to me. I could try to change our code to use this event, but I would need a reproducible test case first. If you guys manage to get to a reproducible test case, please let me know.

Hi Jurgis,
Looks like you are partly right. I un-installed all firefox extensions (including google toolbar) but the problem remained. Then just started looking at firefox options that related to autofill. I found Options->Privacy->'Remember what I enter in forms and the search bar' It was enabled! So I disabled it and this seems to fix the problem. I enabled and disabled it a number of times and got the expected behaviour on the form and field that was causing the problem. Strange thing is that now I cannot reproduce this behaviour with the government forms example that I could before!? Also when enabled - It doesn't seem to autofill (or remember) all form fields that had specific values entered in the past - but just a few (random?) fields. Seems like a firefox bug/quirky behaviour. /My solution for now is to recommend this firefox option be disabled./ Jurgis, I think that the google toolbar may play some role in this since some input fields are colored 'yellow' when the google toolbar->settings->Autofill settings->Highlight fields on web pages that autofill can update in 'yellow' Alex, I will let you know if I can reproduce this behaviour again with the OPS examples using this firefox option.

Once we have a reproducible test case, I don't think it will be very hard to fix this.

Hi Alex,
I have found a case very similar to this problem but not exactly the same - it may be the same underlying problem though. The xforms-controls example has an auto-complete field with country names on the selection controls tab. When you type a set of characters the list narrows (as expected) with matching entries. If i highlight the country i want and hit the enter key, then it works fine. But if I select the required country by clicking with the mouse it doesn't work. Do you get the same behaviour? I get the same behaviour in this case with both firefox and ie. I will keep looking for exact reproducible cases.

But I was not able to reproduce that one either.
