How to achieve auto-complete functionality for textbox

Nov 22, 2013

We have built a Search bar for our course.

When we start typing in the TextBox we should be able to see list of relevant topics available as a dropdown item, in similar way as we see in google.in website

Please suggest me a way to achieve this.

Thanks!

Hi Aman:

Could you have bitten off more than you could chew?

Storyline will not provide you this out-of-box using JavaScript, variables, or other without a GREAT deal of effort.

Essentially, you are trying to create an array and display it in your list. This array needs to read the users input variable and display all instances of the words being searched.

I recommend you look into using jQuery to accomplish this.

Best Regards,

Thanks Dennis for helping out Aman here. Aman, if you get this up and running and you're able to share your Storyline project here with the community, I could see a lot of users being interested in it.
