Methods

`_activateNextItem`

() protected chainable

Inherited from AutoCompleteList: yui3/src/autocomplete/js/autocomplete-list.js:212

Activates the next item after the currently active item. If there is no next item and the <code>circular</code> attribute is <code>true</code>, focus will wrap back to the input node.

`_activatePrevItem`

() protected chainable

Inherited from AutoCompleteList: yui3/src/autocomplete/js/autocomplete-list.js:237

Activates the item previous to the currently active item. If there is no previous item and the <code>circular</code> attribute is <code>true</code>, focus will wrap back to the input node.

`_add`

(

items

)

NodeList protected

Inherited from AutoCompleteList: yui3/src/autocomplete/js/autocomplete-list.js:256

Appends the specified result items to the list inside a new item node.

Parameters:

items Array | Node | HTMLElement | String

Result item or array of result items.

Returns:

NodeList:

Added nodes.

`_addAttrs`

(

cfgs
values
lazy

)

private

Inherited from AttributeCore: yui3/src/attribute/js/AttributeCore.js:877

Implementation behind the public addAttrs method. This method is invoked directly by get if it encounters a scenario in which an attribute's valueFn attempts to obtain the value an attribute in the same group of attributes, which has not yet been added (on demand initialization).

Parameters:

cfgs Object

An object with attribute name/configuration pairs.
values Object

An object with attribute name/value pairs, defining the initial values to apply. Values defined in the cfgs argument will be over-written by values in this argument unless defined as read only.
lazy Boolean

Whether or not to delay the intialization of these attributes until the first call to get/set. Individual attributes can over-ride this behavior by defining a lazyAdd configuration property in their configuration. See <a href="#method_addAttr">addAttr</a>.

`_addLazyAttr`

(

name
[lazyCfg]

)

private

Inherited from AttributeCore: yui3/src/attribute/js/AttributeCore.js:360

Finishes initializing an attribute which has been lazily added.

Parameters:

name Object

The name of the attribute
[lazyCfg] Object optional

Optional config hash for the attribute. This is added for performance along the critical path, where the calling method has already obtained lazy config from state.

`_addOutOfOrder`

(

name
cfg

)

private

Inherited from AttributeCore: yui3/src/attribute/js/AttributeCore.js:550

`_filterUIEvent`

(

evt

)

Boolean private

Inherited from Widget: yui3/src/widget/js/WidgetUIEvents.js:117

This method is used to determine if we should fire the UI Event or not. The default implementation makes sure that for nested delegates (nested unrelated widgets), we don't fire the UI event listener more than once at each level.

For example, without the additional filter, if you have nested widgets, each widget will have a delegate listener. If you click on the inner widget, the inner delegate listener's filter will match once, but the outer will match twice (based on delegate's design) - once for the inner widget, and once for the outer.

Parameters:

evt DOMEventFacade

Returns:

Boolean:

true if it's OK to fire the custom UI event, false if not.

Object chainable

Inherited from AttributeCore: yui3/src/attribute/js/AttributeCore.js:157

Adds an attribute with the provided configuration to the host object. The config argument object supports the following properties: <dl> <dt>value <Any></dt> <dd>The initial value to set on the attribute</dd> <dt>valueFn <Function | String></dt> <dd> A function, which will return the initial value to set on the attribute. This is useful for cases where the attribute configuration is defined statically, but needs to reference the host instance ("this") to obtain an initial value. If both the value and valueFn properties are defined, the value returned by the valueFn has precedence over the value property, unless it returns undefined, in which case the value property is used. valueFn can also be set to a string, representing the name of the instance method to be used to retrieve the value. </dd> <dt>readOnly <boolean></dt> <dd>Whether or not the attribute is read only. Attributes having readOnly set to true cannot be modified by invoking the set method.</dd> <dt>writeOnce <boolean> or <string></dt> <dd> Whether or not the attribute is "write once". Attributes having writeOnce set to true, can only have their values set once, be it through the default configuration, constructor configuration arguments, or by invoking set. The writeOnce attribute can also be set to the string "initOnly", in which case the attribute can only be set during initialization (when used with Base, this means it can only be set during construction) </dd> <dt>setter <Function | String></dt> <dd> The setter function used to massage or normalize the value passed to the set method for the attribute. The value returned by the setter will be the final stored value. Returning <a href="#property_Attribute.INVALID_VALUE">Attribute.INVALID_VALUE</a>, from the setter will prevent the value from being stored. setter can also be set to a string, representing the name of the instance method to be used as the setter function. </dd> <dt>getter <Function | String></dt> <dd> The getter function used to massage or normalize the value returned by the get method for the attribute. The value returned by the getter function is the value which will be returned to the user when they invoke get. getter can also be set to a string, representing the name of the instance method to be used as the getter function. </dd> <dt>validator <Function | String></dt> <dd> The validator function invoked prior to setting the stored value. Returning false from the validator function will prevent the value from being stored. validator can also be set to a string, representing the name of the instance method to be used as the validator function. </dd> <dt>lazyAdd <boolean></dt> <dd>Whether or not to delay initialization of the attribute until the first call to get/set it. This flag can be used to over-ride lazy initialization on a per attribute basis, when adding multiple attributes through the <a href="#method_addAttrs">addAttrs</a> method.</dd> </dl> The setter, getter and validator are invoked with the value and name passed in as the first and second arguments, and with the context ("this") set to the host object. Configuration properties outside of the list mentioned above are considered private properties used internally by attribute, and are not intended for public use.

Parameters:

name String

The name of the attribute.
config Object

An object with attribute configuration property/value pairs, specifying the configuration for the attribute. NOTE: The configuration object is modified when adding an attribute, so if you need to protect the original values, you will need to merge the object.
lazy Boolean

(optional) Whether or not to add this attribute lazily (on the first call to get/set).

Returns:

Object:

A reference to the host object.

`addAttrs`

Parameters:

cfgs Object

An object with attribute name/configuration pairs.
values Object

An object with attribute name/value pairs, defining the initial values to apply. Values defined in the cfgs argument will be over-written by values in this argument unless defined as read only.
lazy Boolean

Whether or not to delay the intialization of these attributes until the first call to get/set. Individual attributes can over-ride this behavior by defining a lazyAdd configuration property in their configuration. See <a href="#method_addAttr">addAttr</a>.

Returns:

Object:

A reference to the host object.

Boolean

Inherited from EventTarget: yui3/src/event-custom/js/event-target.js:673

Fire a custom event by name. The callback functions will be executed from the context specified when the event was created, and with the following parameters.

The first argument is the event type, and any additional arguments are passed to the listeners as parameters. If the first of these is an object literal, and the event is configured to emit an event facade, that object is mixed into the event facade and the facade is provided in place of the original object.

If the custom event object hasn't been created, then the event hasn't been published and it has no subscribers. For performance sake, we immediate exit in this case. This means the event won't bubble, so if the intention is that a bubble target be notified, the event must be published on this object first.

Parameters:

type String | Object

The type of the event, or an object that contains a 'type' property.
arguments Object

an arbitrary set of parameters to pass to the handler. If the first of these is an object literal and the event is configured to emit an event facade, the event facade will replace that parameter after the properties the object literal contains are copied to the event facade.

Returns:

Boolean:

True if the whole lifecycle of the event went through, false if at any point the event propagation was halted.

EventHandle

Inherited from EventTarget: yui3/src/event-custom/js/event-target.js:188

Subscribe a callback function to a custom event fired by this object or from an object that bubbles its events to this object.

 this.on("change", this._onChange, this);

Callback functions for events published with emitFacade = true will receive an EventFacade as the first argument (typically named "e"). These callbacks can then call e.preventDefault() to disable the behavior published to that event's defaultFn. See the EventFacade API for all available properties and methods. Subscribers to non-emitFacade events will receive the arguments passed to fire() after the event name.

To subscribe to multiple events at once, pass an object as the first argument, where the key:value pairs correspond to the eventName:callback.

 this.on({
                                                     "attrChange" : this._onAttrChange,
                                                     "change"     : this._onChange
                                                 });

You can also pass an array of event names as the first argument to subscribe to all listed events with the same callback.

 this.on([ "change", "attrChange" ], this._onChange);

Returning false from a callback is supported as an alternative to calling e.preventDefault(); e.stopPropagation();. However, it is recommended to use the event methods whenever possible.

Parameters:

type String

fn Function

The callback to execute in response to the event

`render`

(

parentNode

)

final chainable

Inherited from Widget: yui3/src/widget/js/Widget.js:509

Establishes the initial DOM for the widget. Invoking this method will lead to the creating of all DOM elements for the widget (or the manipulation of existing DOM elements for the progressive enhancement use case). This method should only be invoked once for an initialized widget. It delegates to the widget specific renderer method to do the actual work.

Parameters:

parentNode Object | String

Optional. The Node under which the Widget is to be rendered. This can be a Node instance or a CSS selector string. If the selector string returns more than one Node, the first node will be used as the parentNode. NOTE: This argument is required if both the boundingBox and contentBox are not currently in the document. If it's not provided, the Widget will be rendered to the body of the current document in this case.

`renderer`

() protected

Inherited from Widget: yui3/src/widget/js/Widget.js:584

Creates DOM (or manipulates DOM for progressive enhancement) This method is invoked by render() and is not chained automatically for the class hierarchy (unlike initializer, destructor) so it should be chained manually for subclasses if required.

Usually there's no reason to call this method manually; it will be called automatically when user input causes a <code>query</code> event to be fired. The only time you'll need to call this method manually is if you want to force a request to be sent when no user input has occurred.

Parameters:

[query] String optional

Query to send. If specified, the <code>query</code> attribute will be set to this query. If not specified, the current value of the <code>query</code> attribute will be used.

`listNode`

Node | Null

Inherited from AutoCompleteList: yui3/src/autocomplete/js/autocomplete-list.js:817

Node that will contain result items.

`maxResults`

Default: 0

`minQueryLength`

Number

Inherited from AutoCompleteBase: yui3/src/autocomplete/js/autocomplete-base.js:1037

Minimum number of characters that must be entered before a <code>query</code> event will be fired. A value of <code>0</code> allows empty queries; a negative value will effectively disable all <code>query</code> events.

Default: 1

`query`

String | Null readonly

Inherited from AutoCompleteBase: yui3/src/autocomplete/js/autocomplete-base.js:1050

Current query, or <code>null</code> if there is no current query. The query might not be the same as the current value of the input node, both for timing reasons (due to <code>queryDelay</code>) and because when one or more <code>queryDelimiter</code> separators are in use, only the last portion of the delimited input string will be used as the query value.

Default: null

`queryDelay`

Number

Inherited from AutoCompleteBase: yui3/src/autocomplete/js/autocomplete-base.js:1068

Number of milliseconds to delay after input before triggering a <code>query</code> event. If new input occurs before this delay is over, the previous input event will be ignored and a new delay will begin. This can be useful both to throttle queries to a remote data source and to avoid distracting the user by showing them less relevant results before they've paused their typing.

Default: 100

`queryDelimiter`

String | Null

Inherited from AutoCompleteBase: yui3/src/autocomplete/js/autocomplete-base.js:1085

Default: false

`requestTemplate`

Function | String | Null

Inherited from AutoCompleteBase: yui3/src/autocomplete/js/autocomplete-base.js:1099

Source request template. This can be a function that accepts a query as a parameter and returns a request string, or it can be a string containing the placeholder "{query}", which will be replaced with the actual URI-encoded query. In either case, the resulting string will be appended to the request URL when the <code>source</code> attribute is set to a remote DataSource, JSONP URL, or XHR URL (it will not be appended to YQL URLs). While <code>requestTemplate</code> may be set to either a function or a string, it will always be returned as a function that accepts a query argument and returns a string.

Default: null

`resultFilters`

Array

Inherited from AutoCompleteBase: yui3/src/autocomplete/js/autocomplete-base.js:1120

Array of local result filter functions. If provided, each filter will be called with two arguments when results are received: the query and an array of result objects. See the documentation for the <code>results</code> event for a list of the properties available on each result object. Each filter is expected to return a filtered or modified version of the results array, which will then be passed on to subsequent filters, then the <code>resultHighlighter</code> function (if set), then the <code>resultFormatter</code> function (if set), and finally to subscribers to the <code>results</code> event. If no <code>source</code> is set, result filters will not be called. Prepackaged result filters provided by the autocomplete-filters and autocomplete-filters-accentfold modules can be used by specifying the filter name as a string, such as <code>'phraseMatch'</code> (assuming the necessary filters module is loaded).

Default: []

`resultFormatter`

Function | Null

Inherited from AutoCompleteBase: yui3/src/autocomplete/js/autocomplete-base.js:1147

Function which will be used to format results. If provided, this function will be called with two arguments after results have been received and filtered: the query and an array of result objects. The formatter is expected to return an array of HTML strings or Node instances containing the desired HTML for each result. See the documentation for the <code>results</code> event for a list of the properties available on each result object. If no <code>source</code> is set, the formatter will not be called.

`resultHighlighter`

Function | Null

Inherited from AutoCompleteBase: yui3/src/autocomplete/js/autocomplete-base.js:1167

Function which will be used to highlight results. If provided, this function will be called with two arguments after results have been received and filtered: the query and an array of filtered result objects. The highlighter is expected to return an array of highlighted result text in the form of HTML strings. See the documentation for the <code>results</code> event for a list of the properties available on each result object. If no <code>source</code> is set, the highlighter will not be called.

`resultListLocator`

Function | String | Null

Inherited from AutoCompleteBase: yui3/src/autocomplete/js/autocomplete-base.js:1187

Locator that should be used to extract an array of results from a non-array response. By default, no locator is applied, and all responses are assumed to be arrays by default. If all responses are already arrays, you don't need to define a locator. The locator may be either a function (which will receive the raw response as an argument and must return an array) or a string representing an object path, such as "foo.bar.baz" (which would return the value of <code>result.foo.bar.baz</code> if the response is an object). While <code>resultListLocator</code> may be set to either a function or a string, it will always be returned as a function that accepts a response argument and returns an array.

`results`

Array readonly

Inherited from AutoCompleteBase: yui3/src/autocomplete/js/autocomplete-base.js:1212

Current results, or an empty array if there are no results.

Default: []

`resultTextLocator`

Function | String | Null

Inherited from AutoCompleteBase: yui3/src/autocomplete/js/autocomplete-base.js:1225

Locator that should be used to extract a plain text string from a non-string result item. The resulting text value will typically be the value that ends up being inserted into an input field or textarea when the user of an autocomplete implementation selects a result. By default, no locator is applied, and all results are assumed to be plain text strings. If all results are already plain text strings, you don't need to define a locator. The locator may be either a function (which will receive the raw result as an argument and must return a string) or a string representing an object path, such as "foo.bar.baz" (which would return the value of <code>result.foo.bar.baz</code> if the result is an object). While <code>resultTextLocator</code> may be set to either a function or a string, it will always be returned as a function that accepts a result argument and returns a string.

`scrollIntoView`

Boolean

Inherited from AutoCompleteList: yui3/src/autocomplete/js/autocomplete-list.js:829

If <code>true</code>, the viewport will be scrolled to ensure that the active list item is visible when necessary.

Default: false

`source`

Inherited from AutoCompleteBase: yui3/src/autocomplete/js/autocomplete-base.js:1252

Source for autocomplete results. The following source types are supported: <dl> <dt>Array</dt> <dd> The full array will be provided to any configured filters for each query. This is an easy way to create a fully client-side autocomplete implementation. <pre><code> Example: ['first result', 'second result', 'etc'] </code></pre> </dd> <dt>DataSource</dt> <dd> A <code>DataSource</code> instance or other object that provides a DataSource-like <code>sendRequest</code> method. See the <code>DataSource</code> documentation for details. </dd> <dt>Function</dt> <dd> A function source will be called with the current query and a callback function as parameters, and should either return an array of results (for synchronous operation) or return nothing and pass an array of results to the provided callback (for asynchronous operation). <pre><code> Example (synchronous):

<pre> function (query) { return ['foo', 'bar']; } </pre>

Example (async):

<pre> function (query, callback) { callback(['foo', 'bar']); } </pre> </code></pre> </dd> <dt>Object</dt> <dd> An object will be treated as a query hashmap. If a property on the object matches the current query, the value of that property will be used as the response. <pre><code> The response is assumed to be an array of results by default. If the response is not an array, provide a resultListLocator to process the response and return an array.

Example: {foo: ['foo result 1', 'foo result 2'], bar: ['bar result']} </code></pre> </dd> </dl> If the optional <code>autocomplete-sources</code> module is loaded, then the following additional source types will be supported as well: <dl> <dt><select> Node</dt> <dd> You may provide a YUI Node instance wrapping a <select> element, and the options in the list will be used as results. You will also need to specify a <code>resultTextLocator</code> of 'text' or 'value', depending on what you want to use as the text of the result. <pre><code>Each result will be an object with the following properties:

<dl> <dt>html (String)</dt> <dd> HTML content of the <option> element. </dd>

<dt>index (Number)</dt> <dd> Index of the <option> element in the list. </dd>

<dt>node (Y.Node)</dt> <dd> Node instance referring to the original <option> element. </dd>

<dt>selected (Boolean)</dt> <dd> Whether or not this item is currently selected in the <select> list. </dd>

<dt>text (String)</dt> <dd> Text content of the <option> element. </dd>

<dt>value (String)</dt> <dd> Value of the <option> element. </dd> </dl> </code></pre> </dd> <dt>String (JSONP URL)</dt> <dd> If a URL with a <code>{callback}</code> placeholder is provided, it will be used to make a JSONP request. The <code>{query}</code> placeholder will be replaced with the current query, and the <code>{callback}</code> placeholder will be replaced with an internally-generated JSONP callback name. Both placeholders must appear in the URL, or the request will fail. An optional <code>{maxResults}</code> placeholder may also be provided, and will be replaced with the value of the maxResults attribute (or 1000 if the maxResults attribute is 0 or less). <pre><code> The response is assumed to be an array of results by default. If the response is not an array, provide a resultListLocator to process the response and return an array.

The jsonp module must be loaded in order for JSONP URL sources to work. If the jsonp module is not already loaded, it will be loaded on demand if possible.

Example: 'http://example.com/search?q={query}&callback={callback}' </code></pre> </dd> <dt>String (XHR URL)</dt> <dd> If a URL without a <code>{callback}</code> placeholder is provided, it will be used to make a same-origin XHR request. The <code>{query}</code> placeholder will be replaced with the current query. An optional <code>{maxResults}</code> placeholder may also be provided, and will be replaced with the value of the maxResults attribute (or 1000 if the maxResults attribute is 0 or less). <pre><code> The response is assumed to be a JSON array of results by default. If the response is a JSON object and not an array, provide a resultListLocator to process the response and return an array. If the response is in some form other than JSON, you will need to use a custom DataSource instance as the source.

The io-base and json-parse modules must be loaded in order for XHR URL sources to work. If these modules are not already loaded, they will be loaded on demand if possible.

Example: 'http://example.com/search?q={query}' </code></pre> </dd> <dt>String (YQL query)</dt> <dd> If a YQL query is provided, it will be used to make a YQL request. The <code>{query}</code> placeholder will be replaced with the current autocomplete query. This placeholder must appear in the YQL query, or the request will fail. An optional <code>{maxResults}</code> placeholder may also be provided, and will be replaced with the value of the maxResults attribute (or 1000 if the maxResults attribute is 0 or less). <pre><code> The yql module must be loaded in order for YQL sources to work. If the yql module is not already loaded, it will be loaded on demand if possible.

Example: 'select * from search.suggest where query="{query}"' </code></pre> </dd> </dl> As an alternative to providing a source, you could simply listen for <code>query</code> events and handle them any way you see fit. Providing a source is optional, but will usually be simpler.

`sourceType`

String

Inherited from AutoCompleteBase: yui3/src/autocomplete/js/autocomplete-base.js:1469

May be used to force a specific source type, overriding the automatic source type detection. It should almost never be necessary to do this, but as they taught us in the Boy Scouts, one should always be prepared, so it's here if you need it. Be warned that if you set this attribute and something breaks, it's your own fault. Supported <code>sourceType</code> values are: 'array', 'datasource', 'function', and 'object'. If the <code>autocomplete-sources</code> module is loaded, the following additional source types are supported: 'io', 'jsonp', 'select', 'string', 'yql'

`srcNode`

String | Node

The DOM node to parse for configuration values, passed to the Widget's HTML_PARSER definition

`strings`

Object

Inherited from Widget but overwritten in yui3/src/autocomplete/js/autocomplete-list.js:841

Translatable strings used by the AutoCompleteList widget.

`tabIndex`

Number

Inherited from Widget: yui3/src/widget/js/Widget.js:202

Number (between -32767 to 32767) indicating the widget's position in the default tab flow. The value is used to set the "tabIndex" attribute on the widget's bounding box. Negative values allow the widget to receive DOM focus programmatically (by calling the focus method), while being removed from the default tab flow. A value of null removes the "tabIndex" attribute from the widget's bounding box.

Default: null

`tabSelect`

Boolean

Inherited from AutoCompleteList: yui3/src/autocomplete/js/autocomplete-list.js:853

If <code>true</code>, pressing the tab key while the list is visible will select the active item, if any.

Default: true

`tokenInput`

Plugin.TokenInput readonly

Inherited from AutoCompleteBase: yui3/src/autocomplete/js/autocomplete-base.js:1489

If the <code>inputNode</code> specified at instantiation time has a <code>node-tokeninput</code> plugin attached to it, this attribute will be a reference to the <code>Y.Plugin.TokenInput</code> instance.

`value`

String

Inherited from AutoCompleteBase: yui3/src/autocomplete/js/autocomplete-base.js:1502

Current value of the input node.

Default: ''

`visible`

Boolean

Inherited from Widget: yui3/src/widget/js/Widget.js:242

Boolean indicating whether or not the Widget is visible.

Default: TRUE

`width`

String | Number

Inherited from Widget: yui3/src/widget/js/Widget.js:263

String with units, or number, representing the width of the Widget. If a number is provided, the default unit, defined by the Widgets DEF_UNIT, property is used.

Default: EMPTY_STR

`x`

Number

Inherited from WidgetPosition: yui3/src/widget-position/js/Widget-Position.js:44

Page X co-ordinate for the widget. This attribute acts as a facade for the xy attribute. Changes in position can be monitored by listening for xyChange events.

Default: 0

`xy`

Array

Inherited from WidgetPosition: yui3/src/widget-position/js/Widget-Position.js:80

Page XY co-ordinate pair for the widget.

Default: [0,0]

`y`

Number

Inherited from WidgetPosition: yui3/src/widget-position/js/Widget-Position.js:62

Page Y co-ordinate for the widget. This attribute acts as a facade for the xy attribute. Changes in position can be monitored by listening for xyChange events.

Default: 0

`yqlEnv`

String

Inherited from AutoCompleteBase: yui3/src/autocomplete/js/autocomplete-sources.js:435

YQL environment file URL to load when the <code>source</code> is set to a YQL query. Set this to <code>null</code> to use the default Open Data Tables environment file (http://datatables.org/alltables.env).

Default: null

`yqlProtocol`

String

Inherited from AutoCompleteBase: yui3/src/autocomplete/js/autocomplete-sources.js:449

URL protocol to use when the <code>source</code> is set to a YQL query.

Default: 'http'

Events

`clear`

Inherited from AutoCompleteBase: yui3/src/autocomplete/js/autocomplete-base.js:103

Fires after the query has been completely cleared or no longer meets the minimum query length requirement.

Event Payload:

prevVal String

Value of the query before it was cleared.
src String

Source of the event.

`destroy`

Inherited from BaseObservable: yui3/src/base/js/BaseObservable.js:163

Lifecycle event for the destroy phase, fired prior to destruction. Invoking the preventDefault method on the event object provided to subscribers will prevent destruction from proceeding. Subscribers to the "after" moment of this event, will be notified after destruction is complete (and as a result cannot prevent destruction).

Event Payload:

e EventFacade

Event object

`init`

Inherited from BaseObservable: yui3/src/base/js/BaseObservable.js:62

Lifecycle event for the init phase, fired prior to initialization. Invoking the preventDefault() method on the event object provided to subscribers will prevent initialization from occuring. Subscribers to the "after" momemt of this event, will be notified after initialization of the object is complete (and therefore cannot prevent initialization).

Event Payload:

e EventFacade

Event object, with a cfg property which refers to the configuration object passed to the constructor.

`query`

Inherited from AutoCompleteBase: yui3/src/autocomplete/js/autocomplete-base.js:116

Fires when the contents of the input field have changed and the input value meets the criteria necessary to generate an autocomplete query.

Event Payload:

inputValue String

Full contents of the text input field or textarea that generated the query.
query String

AutoComplete query. This is the string that will be used to request completion results. It may or may not be the same as <code>inputValue</code>.
src String

Source of the event.

`render`

Inherited from Widget: yui3/src/widget/js/Widget.js:539

Lifecycle event for the render phase, fired prior to rendering the UI for the widget (prior to invoking the widget's renderer method). Subscribers to the "on" moment of this event, will be notified before the widget is rendered. Subscribers to the "after" moment of this event, will be notified after rendering is complete.

Event Payload:

e EventFacade

The Event Facade

`results`

Inherited from AutoCompleteBase: yui3/src/autocomplete/js/autocomplete-base.js:133

Fires after query results are received from the source. If no source has been set, this event will not fire.

Event Payload:

data Array | Object

Raw, unfiltered result data (if available).
query String

Query that generated these results.
results Object

Array of filtered, formatted, and highlighted results. Each item in the array is an object with the following properties:
- display Node | HTMLElement | String
 
 Formatted result HTML suitable for display to the user. If no custom formatter is set, this will be an HTML-escaped version of the string in the <code>text</code> property.
- [highlighted] String optional
 
 Highlighted (but not formatted) result text. This property will only be set if a highlighter is in use.
- raw Any
 
 Raw, unformatted result in whatever form it was provided by the source.
- text String
 
 Plain text version of the result, suitable for being inserted into the value of a text input field or textarea when the result is selected by a user. This value is not HTML-escaped and should not be inserted into the page using <code>innerHTML</code> or <code>Node#setContent()</code>.

`select`

Inherited from AutoCompleteList: yui3/src/autocomplete/js/autocomplete-list.js:99

Fires when an autocomplete suggestion is selected from the list, typically via a keyboard action or mouse click.

Event Payload:

itemNode Node

List item node that was selected.
result Object

AutoComplete result object.

`widget:contentUpdate`

Inherited from Widget: yui3/src/widget/js/Widget.js:397

Notification event, which widget implementations can fire, when they change the content of the widget. This event has no default behavior and cannot be prevented, so the "on" or "after" moments are effectively equivalent (with on listeners being invoked before after listeners).

Event Payload:

e EventFacade

The Event Facade
