SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(sql, con);

items.SetValue(dr["Title"].ToString(), i);
i++;
}

Joe,

I am trying to do something similar but with the jquery Autocomplete.

Using this tutorial:

http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/78704/3-Different-Approaches-for-Implementing-the-JQuery

I was able to get what I wanted to get working in a separate solution using a webservice serving up the data from a xml file on the server in JSON format and now I am attempting to make it into a module.

I am struggling getting the web service part to work.

When you implement a web service can it be in your custom module solution?  Will it be part of the UI.dll when it gets copied to the main solution bin?

As far as mojoportal goes what is your recommendation for implementing a web service that modules can consume?

Thanks Joe as always...

Joe,

Worked great.

Here is the result

Now I just want to figure out how to return what was clicked on button press and that way I can rate which entries are clicked the most.

The ashx handler works great and makes dealing with the jquery much easier.

Thanks as always,

This is the cheapest education you can buy.
Have a beer on me...
