Re: AutoCompleteTextField: Making Wicket call getChoices method on 'onClick' event

[br...@gmail.com]

Take a look at the source code of AutoCompleteTextField and find out which  
JS method is called to display the list of choices.
Then from this point, you can use the onFocus javascript event  
(http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_onfocus.asp).

Cheers,
Bruno
