script.aculo.us selectbox

Gabriel Lanzani has just pubblished his newest work: selectbox. It is supposed to replace the <select> in classical markup with a skinnable look and autocomplete support. It can be used to retrieve options from the serverside and has autocomplete support:
 
new Ajax.SelectBox(id_of_text_field, id_of_div_to_populate, url, id_of_result_value, options);
 
When retrieving data from the server it feels a bit sluggish and I wouldn’t recommend using it everywhere, but it certainly has its applications. Technorati Tags: , ,

Recently the first Ajax Experience was held in Boston. Sadly I couldn’t make it, for various reasons, but I read every bit in blogs I could get. So here comes a small roundup of interesting posts. Also the guys from Ajaxian have put online their photos on Flickr.
