#26124 [Com]: Fucntion completion sorta works in Safari

ID: 26124 Comment by: meilof at hotmail dot com Reported By: colin at easydns dot com Status: Analyzed Bug Type: Website problem Operating System: OS X 10.2.8 PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: Same result as the original poster with Konqueror 3.1.4 (Mandrake 9.2) (but then, Konqueror and Safari are based on the same layout engine): clicking on a function doesn't fill it in in the text box. Navigating with cursor keys and autocompletion with space don't work either... The dropdown box does look nice though :) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-11-05 23:18:11] dfelio at yahoo dot com Auto-complete doesn't work at all in Safari 1.1 in OS 10.3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-11-05 14:32:27] goba@php.net You can find the discussions on the php-mirrors (and partially cross-posted to phpdoc) list about the compression, the code, and why the dropdown is removed after the input field losts focus. The discussion was under the subject "quickref.swf", because I proposed a flash solution initially... The original thread: http://www.phparch.com/mailinglists/msg.php?a=360751 One "subthread": http://www.phparch.com/mailinglists/msg.php?a=360866 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-11-05 12:52:38] colin at easydns dot com First, the dropdown doesn't appear at all in IE5.2/Mac. In Safari, if I type "arr" into the search field, the drop down appears, with all the arr* functions listed. If I then press space, the field autocompletes with "array ", and I can press return and I'm directed to the right page (although, the search field is now "array+" ... so you probably need to trim that field). If, however, I just type "arr" to get the list of functions, I should be able to mouse over to one of them -- say "array_pad" -- and click it. When I mouse over it, I can see that the link is there (i.e. Safari's status bar shows "Go to ca.php.net/ array_pad"), but clicking on the link does nothing except make the drop-down disappear. I realize the JS code is optimized for size, but it would be *really* helpful if there was an unoptimized version in use during beta testing, so that all these bugs could be worked out first. :) I'm also guessing that this code came from somewhere? What is the format of the compressed data? - Colin ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-11-05 12:19:05] goba@php.net Have you tried the auto complete with the space key, or navigating in the list with the cursor keys? Does that work? We had no Safari user to test before.... The dropdown does disappear now if the input field losts focus, this is "by design". It might need to be refined to not disappear if the function list got the focus... I don't have an immediate idea on how one would do this... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-11-04 18:03:15] colin at easydns dot com Description: ------------ The function auto-completion feature only partly works in Safari. As I type in the form field, I do get the "drop-down" list of the functions. However, when I then go to click on the function I want, the drop-down disappears, but the text box doesn't get auto-completed with the selected function, nor am I redirected to the right manual page. Good idea, though! :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=26124&edit=1
