Cakephp Error Ajax.autocompleter Is Not A Constructor
your website? Ever get this error message? Ajax.Autocompleter is not a constructor All of the results I found on Google suggested that the solution to the problem was to make sure that you were including controls.js (which is where the autocompletion stuff lives in script.aculous). If you checked and double checked that you have controls.js (or that you're including scriptaculous.js which itself includes controls.js), then your problem could be that you included prototype.js twice. Example: script function createAC() { new Ajax.Autocompleter('mytextbox', 'myautocomplete', 'autocomplete/url', {}); }
start autocomplete Why? Prototype defines a class ‘Ajax': var Ajax = { getTransport: function() { ... and then Script.aculous extends that class: Ajax.Autocompleter = Class.create(); Object.extend(Object.extend(Ajax.Autocompleter.prototype, Autocompleter.Base.prototype), { ... So including prototype.js a second time blows away the class defined by Script.aculous. Really easy to fix, but if you're working on a large team, make sure that prototype.js is only included once on every page.

From one issue to the next. Makes me think this library isn't very stable…. or perhaps I am am missing something….? Reply Holger says: February 25, 2007 at 6:23 pm Thanks for this hint! I ran into this as well, and you saved me some previous testing time. Huighly appreaciated. 🙂 Cheers, Holger Reply Brian says: March 7, 2007 at 2:08 pm I've ran into a similar situation with Ajax.InPlaceSelect. Are you saying if I have included: js/lib/prototype.js and js/src/scriptaculous.js at the top of my document, Scriptaculous could be including it again, which is causing the error: Ajax.InPlaceSelect is not a constructor Is it important that i
» Blog » Symfony: Ajax.Autocompleter is not a constructor If you use Symfony and its Autocomletion feature, you may get the following error: "Ajax.Autocompleter is not a constructor" There could be two reasons for this: Necessary JS libraries are not loaded. To fix make sure you load the following libraries (example below is for including them from the action): $response->addJavascript('/sf/js/prototype/prototype'); $response->addJavascript('/sf/js/prototype/effects'); $response->addJavascript('/sf/js/prototype/controls'); You could be including Prototype JS http://cephas.net/blog/2006/12/07/ajaxautocompleter-is-not-a-constructor/ library twice. So for the example above I am adding a prototype JS library. In addition to that I could have added it to be added in the view.yml file. This would have caused the "Ajax.Autocompleter is not a constructor". Published by Anton on 04th January 2009. Categories: Technical. Comments are closed.
