I have implemented a jQuery autocomplete function to a Bootstrap input. The jQuery autocomplete is working fine but I want to see the results as a combo and I guess it's now happening because I'm using BootStrap.
This is the field that I'm assigning autocomplete:
<div class="form-group">
<label>Employee</label>
<input class="form-control" name="txtEmployee" placeholder="Trabajador">
</div>
$(this).autocomplete({
source: function(request, response) {
$.ajax({
url: '@Url.Content("~/Employee/SearchEmployee")/',
type: 'POST',
contentType: 'application/json',
dataType: "json",
data: JSON.stringify({
employerId: 1,
searchStr: me.val()
}),
success: function(data) {
if (data.success) {
response($.map(data.data, function(item) {
return {
label: "(" + item.EmployeeNumber + ") " +
item.FirstName + " " +
item.MothersLast + ", " +
item.FathersLast,
employeeId: item.EmployeeId
}
}));
}
}
});
},
minLength: 3
});
The results are displayed but like this:
How can I style the results with Bootstrap so I can see them like dropdownlist?

I found the following css in order to style a Bootstrap input for a jquery autocomplete:
https://gist.github.com/daz/2168334#file-style-scss
.ui-autocomplete {
position: absolute;
top: 100%;
left: 0;
z-index: 1000;
float: left;
display: none;
min-width: 160px;
_width: 160px;
padding: 4px 0;
margin: 2px 0 0 0;
list-style: none;
background-color: #ffffff;
border-color: #ccc;
border-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
border-style: solid;
border-width: 1px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
border-radius: 5px;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 5px 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
-moz-box-shadow: 0 5px 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
box-shadow: 0 5px 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
-webkit-background-clip: padding-box;
-moz-background-clip: padding;
background-clip: padding-box;
*border-right-width: 2px;
*border-bottom-width: 2px;
}
.ui-menu-item > a.ui-corner-all {
display: block;
padding: 3px 15px;
clear: both;
font-weight: normal;
line-height: 18px;
color: #555555;
white-space: nowrap;
}
.ui-state-hover, &.ui-state-active {
color: #ffffff;
text-decoration: none;
background-color: #0088cc;
border-radius: 0px;
-webkit-border-radius: 0px;
-moz-border-radius: 0px;
background-image: none;
}
I don't know if you fixed it, but I did had the same issue, finally it was a dumb thing, I had:
<script src="jquery-ui/jquery-ui.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
but it should be:
<link href="jquery-ui/jquery-ui.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
Just change <scrip>
to <link>
and src
to href
Try this (demo):
.ui-autocomplete {
position: absolute;
top: 100%;
left: 0;
z-index: 1000;
display: none;
float: left;
min-width: 160px;
padding: 5px 0;
margin: 2px 0 0;
list-style: none;
font-size: 14px;
text-align: left;
background-color: #ffffff;
border: 1px solid #cccccc;
border: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.15);
border-radius: 4px;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 6px 12px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.175);
box-shadow: 0 6px 12px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.175);
background-clip: padding-box;
}
.ui-autocomplete > li > div {
display: block;
padding: 3px 20px;
clear: both;
font-weight: normal;
line-height: 1.42857143;
color: #333333;
white-space: nowrap;
}
.ui-state-hover,
.ui-state-active,
.ui-state-focus {
text-decoration: none;
color: #262626;
background-color: #f5f5f5;
cursor: pointer;
}
.ui-helper-hidden-accessible {
border: 0;
clip: rect(0 0 0 0);
height: 1px;
margin: -1px;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 0;
position: absolute;
width: 1px;
}
The gap between the (bootstrap) input field and jquery-ui autocompleter seem to occur only in jQuery versions >= 3.2
When using jQuery version 3.1.1 it seem to not happen.
Possible reason is the notable update in v3.2.0 related to a bug fix on .width()
and .height()
. Check out the jQuery release notes for further details: v3.2.0 / v3.1.1
Bootstrap version 3.4.1 and jquery-ui version 1.12.0 used
