#5091 — multiple dynamic text fields

Hi

I have a page with an autocomplete text field. This works fine. But what 
I actually want is adding more text fields with the same autocomplete 
options. It must be an orderpage with multiple order lines.
If I choose option 2 from the drop down, 2 text fields are chown. That is 
ok, but the autocomplete doesn't work.
But if I manually type "getuser.php?q=2" in a browser I get a page with 2 
text boxes where the autocomplete does work.
I don't think I need to show here my complete autocomplete code because I 
think this is not the point here.
When text boxes are generated dynamically is there an underlying id or 
something given to it? Hope someone can help.

You're in the wrong newsgroup.  Autocomplete is browser-side.  PHP is 
server side.  Try comp.lang.javascript to start.

Hi

My autocomplete isn't browser side. It gets its values from a postgres DB 
on the server. See my post in the group you recommended.

It may get the data from a database, but the request must still come 
from the browser - which is what your AJAX code is doing.
