For example: jquery.autocomplete.js - how does autocomplete work? Jquery AutoComplete Plugin calling Help with jquery autocomplete and json response The jQuery UI

While styling the jQuery autocomplete plugin, I get the following HTML code hardwired to my page: <ul class="ui-autocomplete ui-menu ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-corner-all" role="listbox" aria-activedescendant="ui-active-menuitem" style="z-index: 1; top: 0px; left: 0px; display: none; "></ul> How can I disable styling from being made through HTML and keep it done via CSS? I don't think my CSS files are overwriting that style. Any help will do jQuery autocomplete needs to set some inline styles to position the drop down list under the text box and size it equally.

I'm using the jQuery AutoComplete plugin combined with ajax. Do you know how can I show a progress indicator while the ajax search is performed?
