how to trigger onValueChanged from AutoComplete mixin?

[George Ludwig <ge...@gmail.com>]

I've got a custom textfield that uses the autocomplete mixin. Everything is
working great except that when the user clicks on an item in the matchlist,
the onValueChanged event is not triggered.

I'm it's possible, but I'm in over my head. As far as I can tell, I would
need to trigger an event based on a clicked or mouseup event from the
matchlist. The problem is, the matchlist is generated dynamically, so I
don't know how to dynamically attach a callback to something that is itself
dynamically generated.

Any ideas??

Dusko, thanks for the response. I'm actually using the jQuery autocomplete,
so controls.js is irrelevant. It looks like it happens in
jquery.ui.autocomplete.js around line 273.

What I don't get is, why does the onValueChanged event NOT get triggered
when the value is changed via a mouse click on the autocomplete list? It
seems like a bug to me...

Autocomplete only triggers the EventConstants.PROVIDE_COMPLETIONS event.
Take a look at the onClick function in controls.js (line 183) (Tapestry
5.3). That's the place that you need to modify to get the desired behavior.
