CSS:

#autocomplete, #autocomplete_zip { height: 25px; } #dt_input, #dt_input_zip { position: static; width: 300px; } #dt_input_zip { width: 60px; } /* This hides the autocomplete drop downs */ #dt_ac_container, #dt_ac_zip_container { display: none; }

Markup:

<div id="autocomplete"> <label for="dt_input">Search Term: </label><input id="dt_input" type="text" value="pizza"> <div id="dt_ac_container"></div> </div> <div id="autocomplete_zip"> <label for="dt_input_zip">Zip Code: </label><input id="dt_input_zip" type="text" value="94089"> <div id="dt_ac_zip_container"></div> </div> <div id="json"></div>

JavaScript:

(function() { var Dom = YAHOO.util.Dom, Event = YAHOO.util.Event, queryString = '&results=20&output=json', zip = null, myDataSource = null, myDataTable = null; var getZip = function(query) { query = parseInt(query, 10); if (!YAHOO.lang.isNumber(query)) { query = zip; Dom.get('dt_input_zip').value = zip; YAHOO.log('Invalid zip code, must be a number', 'warn', 'example'); } myDataSource.sendRequest('datatable=yes&zip=' + query + '&query=' + Dom.get('dt_input').value + queryString, myDataTable.onDataReturnInitializeTable, myDataTable); }; var getTerms = function(query) { myDataSource.sendRequest('datatable=yes&query=' + query + '&zip=' + Dom.get('dt_input_zip').value + queryString, myDataTable.onDataReturnInitializeTable, myDataTable); }; Event.onDOMReady(function() { zip = Dom.get('dt_input_zip').value; var oACDS = new YAHOO.util.FunctionDataSource(getTerms); oACDS.queryMatchContains = true; var oAutoComp = new YAHOO.widget.AutoComplete("dt_input","dt_ac_container", oACDS); var oACDSZip = new YAHOO.util.FunctionDataSource(getZip); oACDSZip.queryMatchContains = true; var oAutoCompZip = new YAHOO.widget.AutoComplete("dt_input_zip","dt_ac_zip_container", oACDSZip); //Don't query until we have 5 numbers for the zip code oAutoCompZip.minQueryLength = 5; var formatUrl = function(elCell, oRecord, oColumn, sData) { elCell.innerHTML = "<a href='" + oRecord.getData("ClickUrl") + "' target='_blank'>" + sData + "</a>"; }; var myColumnDefs = [ { key:"Title", label:"Name", sortable:true, formatter: formatUrl }, { key:"Phone" }, { key:"City" }, { key:"Rating.AverageRating", label:"Rating", formatter:YAHOO.widget.DataTable.formatNumber, sortable:true } ]; myDataSource = new YAHOO.util.DataSource("assets/php/ylocal_proxy.php?"); myDataSource.responseType = YAHOO.util.DataSource.TYPE_JSON; myDataSource.connXhrMode = "queueRequests"; myDataSource.responseSchema = { resultsList: "ResultSet.Result", fields: [ "Title", "Phone", "City", { key: "Rating.AverageRating", parser:"number" }, "ClickUrl" ] }; myDataTable = new YAHOO.widget.DataTable("json", myColumnDefs, myDataSource, {initialRequest: 'datatable=yes&query=' + Dom.get('dt_input').value + '&zip=' + Dom.get('dt_input_zip').value + queryString }); }); })();
