How to keep autocomplete event active on Xpages

Question

I've an xpages in which i set some fields to filter documents, with an autocomplete in one of these.

At the end, a button make a pdf based on this query fields (onClick action), and the pdf is presented to be saved or open.

Ad this point, autocomplete doesn't work anymore, i need to reload the xpage to make autocomplete active again, but i loose all other field values set in previous search.

Is it possible to keep autocomplete alive?

Hi, I use autocomplete in many of my XPage applications but i havn't seen any of these issues yet =), please could you provide some code? Would help track down your problem. — Michael Saiz, Apr 05 '13 at 06:49

please add complete XP source of that button. I want to know whether it is partial or full (or none refresh). — Frantisek Kossuth, Apr 05 '13 at 07:25

My guess is that you serve up an PDF directly from the page and no in a separate window. This will make the XPage to stall and will wait for a timeout of some kind.

I usually on the pdf generation button add this on a js timeout.

XSP.allowSubmit()

That usually works in the cases I have encountered.

Sorry Fredrik, what do you mean with "js timeout"? – Andrea Baglioni Apr 05 '13 at 07:14
Thanks but, i doesn't work! ....this is the code in button client JS 'setTimeout(function(){XSP.allowSubmit()},1000)' – Andrea Baglioni Apr 05 '13 at 13:00
