I am using jquery automcomplete
with the Ajax
call but what i want is if part
is present in the json
data fetched by the ajax on first call then i want to return that data as it is without giving the ajax call i have tried it as below
function SearchText() {
var cache = {};
$("#txtItem").autocomplete({
source: function (request, response) {
var term = request.term;
$.each(cache, function (index, value) {
$.each(value, function (index, value) {
if (value.indexOf(term) >= 0) {
response(cache[term]);
return;
}
});
});
cache = {};
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
url: "JobTagPricing.aspx/GetAutoCompleteData",
data: "{'item':'" + document.getElementById('txtItem').value + "'}",
dataType: "json",
success: function (data) {
cache[term] = data.d;
response(data.d);
},
error: function (result) {
alert("Error");
}
});
},
minLength: 3
});
}
but even if it finds the matching term
in the array then also it generates the ajax call.
I m stuck here for 3 hrs now any help would be great. I have tried maxCacheLength
but it is also not working.
