Auto-submit per-keypress on search terms filter

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look at it when time permits. Feel free to contribute a patch!

This would be seriously quite wonderous.

Appreciate this feature request is four months old, but does anyone know if this is the only viable path to achieving this type of functionality, or does anyone know of an alternative route?

hi.

u can try this code in views_filters.autosubmit.js

/*

jQuery.timer = function(time,func,callback){
	var a = {timer:setTimeout(func,time),callback:null}
	if(typeof(callback) == 'function'){a.callback = callback;}
	return a;
};

jQuery.clearTimer = function(a){
	clearTimeout(a.timer);
	if(typeof(a.callback) == 'function'){a.callback();};
	return this;
};

Drupal.behaviors.vfas = function(context) {

    var self = this;
    var exceptions = Drupal.settings.vfas.exceptions;
	var myTimer = {};
    if (exceptions) {
      exceptions = ':not('+Drupal.settings.vfas.exceptions+')';
    }    
    else {
      exceptions = '';
    }
    $(self).addClass('vfas-processed');
    $('#'+Drupal.settings.vfas.submit_id, self).hide();

    $('div.views-exposed-widget input'+exceptions, self).bind('keyup', function() {
      myTimer = $.timer(1000,function(){
			$(self).submit();
	   	})  
	  });	
    $('div.views-exposed-widget select'+exceptions, self).change(function() {
      $(self).submit();
    });
  });
}

// END jQuery
})(jQuery);

is working, but with some problems. check it by yourself.

after inspect code in viewslivefilters, i make few changes in this code:

now is 100% working

this code have little problem. After form submit, the focus on input is loosed.

any suggestion?

P.D. Sorry for my english.

Thanks! I'll take a look at this when I can. Anyone else who wants to try it and comment is welcome.

First impressions are... it works! thank you :)

I'm not clued up on js to help out with the loss of input focus, but happy to be a tester, if it helps.

cheers

Submitting.

Thanks for the submission.

In order for me to consider this code, it needs the following:

* Package as a patch against the latest dev.
* Ability to specify the per-keypress functionality per view - along with the other auto-submit settings.
