Hi,

I'm trying to populate a dropdown menu by loading the data through an ajax call to json page.

Out of game it works without any hitches but ingame, the dropdown is not populated.

I've tried going back to an earlier version of Jquery but the issue is still the same.

I've looked at the log_server and found a reference to CreatePopupWidget be called everytime I click the dropdown.

Does anyone have any thoughts or hints as to what I might need to look for in order to get it working?

Thanks!

If you're using jquery 2 downgrade to 1.

Thanks for the reply, I am already using the 1.11 version of JQuery, I've gone down through various versions to 1.8 but still the issue is the same.

Can you post a small sample of the JSON string returned? IGB is pretty picky like most older browsers when it comes to formatting. I have Tripwire using JSON returned strings for many things.

Below is the output of the json Daimian:

Looks good...

Well, only thing else I can think of without seeing the code in action is are you setting the data type in the AJAX call to tell it to expect a JSON? This is usually done via jQuery AJAX option of " dataType: 'JSON' " OR setting the return header. I guess it is worth asking if you are doing JSON AJAX calls elsewhere in your code?

I just went through the same exercise using jQuery 1.11 and the jQuery-ui 1.11 autocomplete widget. I had no problems; functionality is identical in current Chrome as well as in the IGB.

If you are passing the data you quoted directly to autocomplete as its source: argument, rather than washing it through some custom function, it might not understand what to do with the objects inside that array. Perhaps you can link your page or post additional context.
