Documentation implies data is pre-parsed about ajax-typeahead HOT 6 CLOSED

The data is pre-parsed by jQuery. Internally I call $.ajax() on every request.
Check the raw response of your Java method, because it seems to me that you're
returning a string. I've tested this with objects and arrays, no problems.
The raw response for an array should be:

["Ajax","Ajax-Typeahead"]

Can you confirm that this is what you're receiving?

Paul, sorry for the delay in getting back to you -- I was on vacation over the weekend.

Sorry for this - you're right. When I booted the machine this morning and removed the ref to $.parseJSON(data), it just worked. I had definitely tried it originally without that and it wasn't working; guess I'm going to chalk it up to my IDE being out-of-sync or something since I rarely reboot or restart GF.

Thanks for the awesome code, yours is the better of the options I've seen and is very flexible.

Glad to hear it works for you Brandon.
You're welcome

Hey pwarelis, great added functionality that I'm trying to use.

I'm having the same issue bane73 was.

Eg.
If I simply hard code a ajax reply from php as echo '["Ajax","Ajax-Typeahead"]'; or echo json_encode('["Ajax","Ajax-Typeahead"]');
What is returned becomes, ["Ajax","Ajax-Typeahead"] or "["Ajax","Ajax-Typeahead"]"

and every individual letter becomes a result item the way bane73 describes.

Doing my head in, not sure what I should be returning to get whole words :)

Thanks

header('Content-type: application/json');
echo json_encode(array("string1", "string2"));
exit;
