I'm trying to build a way for a user to navigate through the items of a list #cityresults
by navigating with the up/down arrows.
When a user clicks the arrow down I want to apply class activedropdownitem
on the active list item, and when he presses Return
button while on that item I want to execute the same logic as when a user clicks with the mouse
on that item, so in function $('#cityresults').on('click', 'a', function ()
.
I copied a Navigate
function from another site, but have no idea how to properly implement it.
<input id="city" name="city" maxlength="50" autocomplete="off" class="textbox">
<input id="citygeonameid" name="citygeonameid" type="hidden">
<div id="cityresultscontainer">
<div id="cityresults" style="display: block;">
<ul>
<li data-id="2750053"><a href="#" title="Nijmegen"><strong>Nij</strong>megen, Gelderland</a></li>
<li data-id="2750065"><a href="#" title="Nijkerk"><strong>Nij</strong>kerk, Gelderland</a></li>
<li data-id="2750089"><a href="#" title="Nijemirdum"><strong>Nij</strong>emirdum, Friesland</a></li>
