script.aculo.us Autocompleter.Local choices Option

The script.aculo.us library is a cross-browser library that aims at improving the user interface of a website. The Autocompleter can be used for providing auto-completion support for text fields in the webpage. The local Autocompleter is used when auto-completion options are given as an array to the Autocompleter method to display as the choices.

The Autocompleter.Local choices option is used to define the number of auto-completion choices to be offered to the user.

Syntax:

{ choices: number }

Values:

  • number: This option takes a number which indicates a number of choices to offer. The default value is 10.

Example 1: In this example, we have set the number of choices to 5, therefore 5 choices are offered.
