Visualforce page help to search records and auto fill

Hi All,

Me new to salesforce. I need a help here. I want to develop a visualforce page where there is a text box. When we type something in the text box, I want to search the item entered in the account object and show in a table. Also If possible while typing we need to show sugesstions like Auto fill.

When the rowns are displayed there must be a button when click, it must execute some Controller function.

How do I start with this? Please help!

Thanks,
Nidhi M

For autocomplete you might have to look at the link http://blogforce9.blogspot.in/2012/11/auto-complete-visualforce-component.html
For search as you type (Dynamic Search) refer to this link http://blog.jeffdouglas.com/2010/07/13/building-a-dynamic-search-page-in-visualforce/

Hope this helps !

Nidhi,

You can start with creating a search block as shown in the following blog - it has sample code to help you build the functionality:

You can then add custom button or link on the page block table where you are populating the search results as shown in the code on link below:

You will have to auto complete component in SFDC. You can use jQuery to build that. Regards, Bhavi Sharma Certified Salesforce Consultant bhavi@simplyforce.com/bhawani.sh.sharma@gmail.com +91-9928130589 LinkedIn | Twitter | Blog | Community www.simplyforce.com
