autocomplete error Autocompleter.js:358

hi

after a long break from chronoforms i am back and its awesome what the new version is capable of now!

just am putting the auto-complete power function to the test but am receiving the following error in both chrome and firefox:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'trident' of undefined Autocompleter.js:358

if you can guide me into the direction of what i have missed or screwed up i would be very grateful!

Hi Dudley,

Looks like a typo somewhere - a function and an input name are mixed up. Please post a link to the form so I can take a quick look.

Hi Dudley,

The 'trident' refers to the MooTools Browser.engine* check in the AutoCompleter code so that makes sense now. I suspect that the problem is a conflict with JQuery or some other script that you have running on the page (there are an enormous number of them) :-(

Bob

Thanks i keep poking around and see what happens😉 But at least my settings seem ok right?

Hi DudleyMorrow,

As far as I can tell, yes but as the JavaScript is broken even when I view the form without the template I can't be certain :-(

Bob

Hi Dudley,

Do you have J3 or J3.1 ? if yes then please contact me through the "Contact us" page so I can send you a patch file for this issue!

Thanks MAX i have mailed you via contact form.

Hi all,

Today I find a fix for Autocompleter.js on Joomla 3.1 (and other .js affected files). There is a problem with deprecated functions and methods used in the original code when running with mootools 1.4.5, like Brower.Engine, $merge, $clear, etc.

After figthing and some trial&error, I get a stable system running. If someone whants the files, feel free to ask me by PM, or if administrators wants the files, I will send to them too.

Bye!

Hi neuronageek,

Thank you, yes, I have already made the fixes earlier and asked users to contact me through the "contact us" page to get the file!🙂

Hi Max,

I don't find this message about contact you! I misunderstood your answer.
It will saved me lot of time!. But it was very interesting to investigate about how to resolve "deprecated" methods and commands in Javascript.

Thanks,
