Hey guys,

I'm trying to empty a text box with AutoComplete plugged in. I want to empty the text box after the user has made an auto complete selection.

I thought doing this would work:

var testText = Y.one('#test-text').plug(Y.Plugin.AutoComplete);

testText.ac.on('select', function(e) {
testText.set('value', '');
});

However, the text box is not being cleared, and no error is being thrown.

I have a complete JSFiddle example at : http://jsfiddle.net/bdicasa/XkExx/2/

If anyone has any ideas on how to accomplish this, I would appreciate the help.

Thanks,

Brian

It works fine for me,
after keypress i get suggested list, then i choose something and text-box value is replaced with what i choosed,

what is your desired action?

Thanks for the help guys, that is a much better solution.

The reason I want to clear the text box after selection is that I'm appending the selected item to my GUI and want to allow the user to start typing a different item after selection. Probably not the most common use case, but it is turning out to be pretty slick.
