backspace in Live Search doesn't refresh
Last modified: 2008-08-18 10:53:01 UTC
As I type in the live search, I see a list of results automatically updated. However, if I delete a character, the list is not refreshed. Eg. type 3 chars "let", get loads of results; type a 4th char, get subset of those results, press backspace, no change, press a different 4th char, get different subset of results.
Philip - what browser / OS is this? I don't see the problem you're referring to. I can type a few chars, a few more, and hit backspace and the page is updated.
I was about to say it fails for me to, but having just tried it very carefully to be sure, it does work. at least with the latest from svn. perhaps my script typo in the fishbone skin was somehow causing it to stop refreshing.
Still fails for me in nightly 2005-03-09. WinXP Pro, Fishbone skin. It only updates the results list when entering new characters, not when backspace is pressed.
What browser & version?
is working for me in Firefox 1.0, but I have just tested in MSIE 6.0.2900.2180 and it indeed fails to update on backspace.
Jacob - do you have any ideas here? You're probably the most proficient at javascript among us. :)
Internet Explorer's "onkeypress" event doesn't respond to backspace, but "onkeydown" does. Checking in a fix.
Jacob fixed this in subversion change 2432. Thanks!
