Comment 21 for bug 1187993

You know ... it looks like it might be possible via this.domNode in the openils.widget.AutoSuggest module. It inherits its constructor, though, so I'm not sure where to hook that in, but postMixInProperties is a likely candidate. Anyone feel like attempting to use this patch?

                 if (typeof this.submitter == "string")

---------------------

My next attempt would be to move that new line down into postCreate.
