Autocomplete feature for a Textarea

KristenBOct 24 2013 — edited Oct 25 2013

Hello,

I am using APEX 4.2.0.00.27 on Oracle database 11.2.0.3 and I have been trying out the new item type Text Field with autocomplete.  It works just as I expect it to, however what I’d really like to have is a Textarea with autocomplete.

Is there a way I can use the underlying jQuery Autocomplete widget that comes with APEX 4.x to add that feature to my Textarea item?  I’ve read Tyler Muth’s blog post on using jQuery Autocomplete in APEX from March of 2010, but it appears to have been written before APEX 4.0 was available and I am unsure if there is a better way to achieve this now.  I’ve also looked at the catalog of available plug-ins, but didn’t see one that combined autocomplete with a textarea.

Thanks, Kristen
