.autocomplete is not a function Error

Question

below is my My Code

Answer 1

You are calling the function before the page loads jQuery. It is always advisable to use jQuery inside

$(document).ready(function(){ //Your code here });

In your case:

$(document).ready(function(){
   $(function(){
      $( "#searcharea" ).autocomplete({
         source: "suggestions.php"
      });
      $( "#searchcat" ).autocomplete({
         source: "suggestions1.php"
      });
   });
});
