AJAX Automatic label updating while typing text

Hi,

I'm testing AJAX out and I have a question. Is it possible to display the tex that I write in a textbox onto a label without pressing a button? So when I type a "1" in the textbox, I want to see the "1" directly on the label aswell.

Thanks,
Jeff

Use javascript. Add an onchange function to your textbox.

<input type="text" onchange="WriteMe(this);" />
<asp:Label ID="lblMesgArea" Text="" runat="server" />

JavaScript Function:

function WriteMe(Mesg)
{
var mesgArea = document.getElementById('" & Me.lblMesgArea.ClientID & "');
mesgArea.value = mesgArea.value + Mesg.value;
}

There are other ways to do it too. This the first thing that comes to my mind =)

Ajax AutoCompleteExtender causing validators to fire

Hi,

I'm having a problem with validators firing whenever I select an item in a field extended with autocomplete (I guess pressing the enter key is trying to submit the form?). How can I get around this?

Thanks

The autocomplete extender does not stop the enter key event from propagating to the form which causes the validators to kick in. I think we would like to stop that and let the event propagate if an item has been selected. Could you please open a bug on this? Thanks.
