Country jQuery Autocomplete plugin
Marc-Antoine Ross December 21st, 2008
Here’s a screenshot of the country autocomplete.
I’ve created this simple add-on using the very good jQuery autocomplete plugin. Full code, demo and documentation.

Hi, I was trying to download accountry.zip but it was missing. Could you fix the link? Thank you.

Hi Marc,
This looks like a really great plugin, but the download link is broken
Let me know if you get it fixed, I’d love to try it out.
Thank you!

Hi
The download link appears to be broken. Where can I get the code?

Fantastic plugin and demo, but the download link doesn’t work. Please fix this so I can grab those country flags. Thanks for sharing this! Fantastic!

View the source (of the demo page) and grab the .js and .css files. Then go to http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/flags/ for the icons.
Thanks!

Hi everyone,
Sorry for such a delay, I wasn’t getting emails on comments posted. I just put back the link.
Thanks for the comments.

Hi,
Thanks for the nice plug in. but i have one problem. this plugging works fine in IE. but when it comes to Firefox, after selecting the country the flag becomes the text box back ground. can you please explain why?

Nice plugin. I can offer a countries.de.js, if you like. But I ran into a problem with german Umlauts in the autocomplete. Any Idea how to get this working with umlauts?

This isn’t working for me in IE7. I get a javascript error. I unzipped the contents of the zip file to a folder and opened it up locally. I can type in a country name and it will drop down in the list with the image of the flag, but it’s throwing a script error.

Hi Chris,
Do you have more details on the error? I had tested it last year, but I don’t have a PC & IE nearby anymore…
Thanks

Hi Marc,
This is the error I receive in IE7. I noticed when I click the input box, it doesn’t clear the default text value either. Maybe it’s related?

Char: 7
Error: Exception thrown and not caught

Thanks to Chris’ help, I uploaded a new version that fixes the bug in Internet Exploder 7/8

Would be great if this was converted over to use jQuery UI’s autocomplete so that the jquery and jquery ui scripts could be loaded from sites like google. I may be wrong, but the ibigframe script might not be needed as well if it was converted.
Nice little plugin though! Thanks for the contribution.

This looks awesome but It appears the autocomplete plugin was taken over by the jquery ui team. Is it possible to update to the new jquery ui version?
Ian November 25th, 2010 at 12:59 pm
Hi,
Is there any plans to port it over to the jquery ui autocomplete? Its the updated version it seems that this plugin uses.
Thanks

Hi
the country selection works beautifully
only problem is that I get back the country code and not the full country name
what am I doing wrong?
thanks a lot

Hi Shaula,
Change this line:
$(ac_country + ‘_hidden’).val(data.code.toLowerCase());
For this:
$(ac_country + ‘_hidden’).val(data.name);
And it should work.
Thank you for the donation

Flags are not displayed in Google Chrome, it is a CSS problem. Perfect in IE and FireFox. Has anyone had similar experiences?
