@Rameena: If you want to validate data on the server-side check out the chapter Data Validation in the cook book. For client-side validation you either have to write your own validation code or use something like validation-js or LiveValidation. Hope this helps!

@Rameena: Thanks for your comment! You should be able to use it as it is described in the article you linked:


echo $ajax->autocomplete('Company.name', '', array('minChars' => 3));

Hope this helps!

Thank you very much for a wonderful autocomplete.
It works successfully in my application.

If I want to enter a minimum number of characters before the autocomplete starts,
like minChars in http://book.cakephp.org/es/compare/632/autoComplete.

What is the solution??

Might want to update the link at the top of the page. It points to a completely different component.

Thanks!!

@Ximerian: Thanks for your comments. It sounds like you use an old version of the component. Please try the current version from Github: http://github.com/cakebaker/autocomplete-component, at least here it works fine. Hope this helps!

Ok I spoke to soon. I now get a drop down list like it is working, but the list is comprised of all records for that field. It’s behaving like it is ignoring the ‘LIKE’ clause…any ideas?
