I want to organize search by users usernames. When I write some letters, I want to see list of users, which usernames start with that letters. After clicking one of values I have to update users data.
Is there any easy plugin or other way to do it?
I use grail-1.3.2.
You may use JQuery Autocomplete to implement such feature... Have a look at the demo..
You may want to catch the keypress event at the text box: after the user has type, says, 2 letters, use ajax/jQuery to send a request to the server. Then the server perform searching the database and return a list of approriate user.
I once used jquery-ui plugin, and the result is satisfactory.
The Grails UI plugin has autocomplete.
jQuery autocomplete can be a solution... check this link Using Grails with jQuery Autocomplete
There is a demo for using autocomplete in a Grails application.
