Hello,
Can somebody give me a hand on this auto complete?

Code: 
<html>

<head>
<script language=JavaScript>

var arraydata1 = new Array();
var arraydata2 = new Array();


arraydata1[0] = 'a';
arraydata2[0] = 'b';
arraydata1[1] = 'aa';
arraydata2[1] = 'bb';
arraydata1[2] = 'aaa';
arraydata2[2] = 'bbb';
arraydata1[3] = 'aaaa';
arraydata2[3] = 'bbbb';


function populateFields(string1input) {
   if (string1input) {
      for (i = 0; i < string1.length; i++) {
         if (string1input == arraydata1[i]) {
            blahForm.string2output.value = arraydata2[i];
           
         }
      }
   }
   else {
      blahForm.string2output.value = '';
      
   }
}

</script>
<body>
<form name=blahForm>
<input type=text name=string1inputcode onkeyup='populateFields(parseInt(this.value, 10));'><b>string1 input</b><br>
<input type=text name=string2output onkeyup=''><b>string2 output</b><br>
</form>
</body>
</html>

(The code is actually kaht's code I reworked for my needs)

It's not working and I'm not quite seeing why myself.




Thanks, Danzig

Code: 
function populateFields(string1input) {
   if (string1input) {
      for (i = 0; i < [red]string1.length[/red]; i++) {
         if (string1input == arraydata1[i]) {
            blahForm.string2output.value = arraydata2[i];
           
         }
      }
   }
   else {
      blahForm.string2output.value = '';
      
   }
}

What is "string1"? Might you have meant "arraydata1"?

It was that and
Code: 
<input type=text name=string1inputcode onkeyup='populateFields(parseInt(this.value, 10));'>

should read

Code: 
<input type=text name=string1inputcode onkeyup='populateFields(this.value);'>

What would you need to do to take this to the next step and convert say a phrase as it is being typed?

Code: 
var arraydata1=new Array("a","ab","abc");
var arraydata2=new Array("1","12","123");

function populateField(source, target)
{
  if (target)
  {
    var char = "";
    for (var i=0; i < arraydata1.length; i++)
    {
      if (source.value == arraydata1[i])
      {
        target.value = arraydata2[i];
      }
    } else {
    target.value = "";
    }
  } else {
  target.value = "";
}
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type="text" name="i" onkeyup="populateField(this,this.form.elements['o']);"><br>
<input type="text" name="o">
</form>
</body>
</html>

That seems to generate a lot of errors

Code: 
<html>

<head>
<script language=JavaScript>

var arraydata1=new Array("a","ab","abc");
var arraydata2=new Array("1","12","123");

function populateField(source, target)
{
  if (target)
  {
    var char = "";
    for (var i=0; i < arraydata1.length; i++)
    {
      if (source.value == arraydata1[i])
      {
        target.value = arraydata2[i];
      }
    } else {
    o.value = "";
    }
  } else {
  target.value = "";
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type="text" name="i" onkeyup="populateField(this,this.form.elements['o']);"><br>
<input type="text" name="o">
</form>
</body>
</html>

Not sure as to just why I am a newbie to jscript I mosly do asp and vbs

I think there was a misplaced curly bracket or two. Is this better?

Code: 
<script language=JavaScript>

var arraydata1 = new Array("a","ab","abc");
var arraydata2 = new Array("1","12","123");

function populateField(source, target) {
    if (target) {
        var char = "";
        for (var i=0; i < arraydata1.length; i++) {
            if (source.value == arraydata1[i]) {
                target.value = arraydata2[i];
            else {
                o.value = "";
            }
        }
    } else {
        target.value = "";
    }
}
</script>

Still semms to have something a mis says a syntax error on line 16 and if you type in the first input box it gives object required errors.

Code: 
<html>

<head>
<script language=JavaScript>

var arraydata1 = new Array("a","ab","abc");
var arraydata2 = new Array("1","12","123");

function populateField(source, target) {
    if (target) {
        var char = "";
        for (var i=0; i < arraydata1.length; i++) {
            if (source.value == arraydata1[i]) {
                target.value = arraydata2[i];
            else {
                o.value = "";
            }
        }
    } else {
        target.value = "";
    }
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type="text" name="i" onkeyup="populateField(this,this.form.elements['o']);"><br>
<input type="text" name="o">
</form>
</body>
</html>

Is this going to allow for more than one word matching or is it still just a single word function?
