JetFormBuilder Pro Select Autocomplete Addon GPL v1.0.7

JetFormBuilder Pro Select Autocomplete GPL Overview

The JetFormBuilder Pro Select Autocomplete addon enhances the functionality of Select fields by providing a type-ahead search feature. This feature helps users find the right options faster by suggesting possible matches as they begin typing, which significantly improves the user experience, especially on forms with long lists of options.

With AJAX support, the addon ensures that options are dynamically loaded as the user types, making it especially beneficial for sites with large datasets or busy forms like Shipping and Billing, order submission, or booking forms.

Key Features of JetFormBuilder Pro Select Autocomplete

1. Autocomplete Functionality

• The Autocomplete feature allows users to start typing in a Select field, and the system will suggest possible options that match the input.
• This functionality helps save time by reducing the need to scroll through long lists of options.

2. AJAX Loading

• The AJAX option enables dynamic loading of options based on the user’s input.
• Each time a user types a character, an AJAX request is made to the server, fetching up-to-date data for the field, ensuring the most relevant options are always presented.

3. Minimum Input Length

• Set a minimum input length for the search field, ensuring that the autocomplete suggestions are triggered only after the user has typed a certain number of characters.
• This helps optimize the search process, preventing unnecessary server requests for very short inputs.

Unlock All Addon Options

1. Use Autocomplete

• Turn this toggle ON/OFF to enable or disable the Autocomplete functionality for the Select field. When enabled, a text box will appear alongside the Select field, allowing users to type and receive suggestions.

2. Loading via AJAX

• When activated, this option allows the Select field options to be loaded dynamically via AJAX. This is particularly useful for large datasets and busy websites, as it ensures only relevant data is fetched and displayed.

3. Minimum Input Length

• Set the minimum number of characters required to trigger the autocomplete search. This ensures that the system does not make AJAX requests for very short inputs, optimizing both performance and user experience.
