Adding Autocomplete class via JS

[ragtek]

I'm having in the acp options some namefields, where i add via js the AutoComplete AcSingle class.

//devtools: add.jsheader
 
!function($, window, document, _undefined) {
    XenForo.NUNS = function($form) {
        this.__construct($form);
    };
    XenForo.NUNS.prototype =
    {
        __construct: function($form) {
            this.$conversationCheckBox = $('#ctrl_optionsragtek_NUNS_welcomeConversationActive_1');
            this.Init();
        },
 
 
 
        addAutoComplete:function($element, Single) {
            $classes = 'AutoComplete';
            $classes2 = 'AutoComplete AcSingle'; // todo
 
            if (Single) {
                $cl = $classes2;
            }
            else {
                $cl = $classes;
            }
            $element.addClass($cl);
 
        },
...
Init: function() {
            $conversationcb = this.$conversationCheckBox;
            this.addAutoComplete($('#ctrl_optionsragtek_NUNS_welcomeConversationSender'), true);
....

with this the autocomplete is working nice


if i do the same in the frontend via

 $input = $('<input type="text" name="watched_username"  autocomplete="off"/>');
                $input.addClass('textCtrl AutoComplete AcSingle');
                $input.xfInsert('appendTo',                    $title.parent().parent().after());

it creates the inputfield, BUT it doesn't attach the Autocomplete Event...


what's wrong here?

Is there any reason you are creating the element with jQuery? Just from looking at this you should be doing <input type="text" name="watched_username" autocomplete="off" class="AutoComplete" /> and registering .AutoComplete with the XenForo.Register method.

Edit: I think I misunderstood at first. Are you already using XenForo.Register in the JS block above? If so I will explain why this happened and how I got around it.
