AutoComplete Release Notes
*** version 2.5.0 ***
* Fixed bug where Mac users were not able to input "&" or "(" characters.
*** version 2.4.0 ***
* Support for YUI JSON Utility.
* The allowBrowserAutocomplete property now supports cases when the user navigates
away from page via mean other than a form submission.
* Added support for integration with the Get Utility, for proxyless data
retrieval from dynamically loaded script nodes.
* Typing 'Enter' to select item no longer causes automatic form submission on
Mac browsers.
*** version 2.3.1 ***
* AutoComplete no longer throw a JavaScript error due to an invalid or
non-existent parent container. While a wrapper DIV element is still expected in
order to enable skinning (see 2.3.0 release note), a lack of such will not
cause an error.
* When suggestion container is collapsed, Mac users no longer need to type
Enter twice to submit input.
*** version 2.3.0 ***
* Applied new skinning model. Please note that in order to enable skinning,
AutoComplete now expects a wrapper DIV element around the INPUT element and the
container DIV element, in this fashion:
* The default queryDelay value has been changed to 0.2. In low-latency
implementations (e.g., when queryDelay is set to 0 against a local
JavaScript DataSource), typeAhead functionality may experience a race condition
when retrieving the value of the textbox. To avoid this problem, implementers
are advised not to set the queryDelay value too low.
* Fixed runtime property value validation.
* Implemented new method doBeforeSendQuery().
* Implemented new method destroy().
* Added support for latest JSON lib http://www.json.org/json.js.
* Fixed forceSelection issues with matched selections and multiple selections.
* No longer create var oAnim in global scope.
* The properties alwaysShowContainer and useShadow should not be enabled together.
* There is a known issue in Firefox where the native browser autocomplete
attribute cannot be disabled programmatically on input boxes that are in use.
