xdhtml custom form/auto complete

i am trying to create a form for scheduler which would allow the user to type in a name, which would auto complete from a mssql database, and map the result to the textarea and the hidden which would store the name's id.

is there a way to do this?

i also tried to use a custom form:
scheduler.showLightbox = function(id){
// id - id of event
... code to show any custom form ...
}

is there a way to incorporate the date? start-end date into there so i can pass it onto a colorbox iframe into one of my php pages, and how would i let the page submit the event to the scheduler after creation?

thanks

>>is there a way to incorporate the date? start-end date into there 
You have event id, it is enough to access all event related info


scheduler.showLightbox = function(id){ 
       var ev = scheduler.getEvent(id);
       var start_date =  ev.start_date;
       var end_date = ev.end_date;
      ...

>> and how would i let the page submit the event to the scheduler after creation? 
When event creation is complited, just set all necessary details to the event object and trigger onEventAdded 

        ev.details = some;
        scheduler.callEvent("onEventAdded",[ev.id,ev]);
        scheduler._new_event = null;

Hey Johnny,

have you finished your work?
I tried i tout myself and i got the autocomplete to work, but when i put it into the Scheduler Form it won't work anymore... :(
Would like to ask if you have a working version so i can check my faults...

Would be that nice to reply,
Homer
