Item10711: textboxlist not autocompleting when rendered with RENDERFOREDIT

This code:

<form>%RENDERFOREDIT{
  form="%WEB%.RelationshipForm"
  fields="Source"
}%</form>

Produces this HTML:

<input type="text" class="foswikiInputField jqTextboxList  jqInitedTextboxList" id="Source" size="80" value="" name="Source">

The class metadata is missing the autocomplete URL.

The RelationshipForm contains this line:

| Source | textboxlist | 80 | %SCRIPTURL{"view"}%/%WEB%/RelationshipForm?skin=text;section=termtopic | [[TaxonProfile.Relationships.Source][Source]] | |

When we edit a topic with this form attached, the autocomplete works. The HTML produced looks like:

<input type="text" class="foswikiInputField jqTextboxList {autocomplete: 'https://wiki.trin.org.au/TaxonProfile/Relationships/RelationshipForm?skin=text;section=termtopic'} jqInitedTextboxList ac_input" id="Source" size="80" value="TaxonProfile/Definitions.APII_NameSource" name="Source" autocomplete="off" style="">

Hi Paul, could you please try this on your server? There are a couple of fixes not yet checked in to svn.foswiki.org that might have fixed it already, as the example is running just fine over here.

Hi Michael, I couldn't get the above script to work. The link http://translate.foswiki.org/System/JQueryAjaxHelper?section=topic;skin=text;baseweb=Tasks returns no results, nor does http://trunk.foswiki.org/System/JQueryAjaxHelper?section=topic;skin=text;baseweb=Sandbox. Select a topic on http://trunk.foswiki.org/System/JQueryAjaxHelper#Server_section autocompletes as expected.

The pure autocomplete link doesn't return anything. Adding a q=prefix to the url however does: http://foswiki.org/System/JQueryAjaxHelper?section=topic;skin=text;baseweb=Tasks;q=T ... which the autocomplete widget adds by itself as required of course.
