Unnecessary AJAX request sent on hint autocomplete

[bitcity]

In this example : http://twitter.github.io/typeahead.js/examples/#remote

If I type Chi, there's 1 network request and I see 1 suggestion i.e. Chicago. Now if I hit → or Tab key to autocomplete the hint, there's another network request sent for Chicago. How can I avoid this ?

Probably related to #188 & #548

( I'll add that the reason isn't just to save on network requests. I have an app that dynamically updates the request URL and I want a better control over which requests are sent. In the above case, an automatic request is sent using a stale URL )

I have the same kind of issue and it also happens when you select an option with the click of the mouse.

If this could be useful, I had the same problem and was forced to change Typeahead autocomplete function commenting

this.input.setQuery(data.val);

row and adding a

this.menu.empty();

row.

MatthewReed that might be a good solution but I can't modify the original library due to project policies. Thanks for your suggestion though!

Perhaps the authors could use that suggestion to fix the issue reported here?

[MatthewReed]

No, my solution is absolutely hack in that you can't view in your input field the single suggestion provided.
Unfortunately I had no time to study code in more depth to allow suggestion to pass without triggering ajac callback.

I used the MatthewReed solution but it didn't revolve my problem. Then I change it a little:
I didn't comment the line below. Instead of that I passed a second parameter called silent as true.
this.input.setQuery(data.val, true);
It isn't ready yet. The follow lines are also necessary:
this.menu.update(query);
this.close();

It solved the autocomplete event problem but it still occurs when the input field got focused. I will try to fix it another time. For now it fits me.
