Disable auto-tabbing

[symbiosdotwiki]

In the multi-select widget how do you prevent auto-tabbing after entering one selection?

"auto tabbng" ? Is this a term in the documentation ? Is it just me or is this issue "one line long" and basically includes 0 technical detail ? Please, put some effort into asking your question. Thanks in advance. ​

auto-tabbing

Do you mean that the first element gets automatically selected?

I agree with @jpic: please be more verbose with reports/questions.

auto tabbing is common phrase in javascript to denote the auto tabbing (ie the same result as pressing the tab key) which results in the automatic change of focus from one field to another.

That said, the multiselect widget auto-tabs (ie automatically refocuses) on the new field once a selection has been made. After I press enter to select a choice, it pulls up a new field and automatically pulls the dropdown menu open for this field.

Specifically this action occurs id the min_num parameter in the Autocomplete is set to zero.

Is there a default parameter to prevent this action, and if not how would go about preventing this?

Doesn't this fixes it for you ? yourlabs/jquery-autocomplete-light#9

I found the culprit code at line 118 in widget.js within the "yourlabs.Widget.prototype.selectChoice" section

if (this.input.is(':visible')) {
        this.input.focus();
    }

Is there a way to prevent this focus when

attrs={
        'data-autocomplete-minimum-characters': 0,
    }

is set for the autocomplete?
