jQuery autoComplete view all on click?

Question

I\'m using jQuery\'s autocomplete in a relatively simple way:

$(document).ready(function() {
  var data = [ {text: \"Choice 1\"}, 
               {text: \"Ch

You must set minLength to zero in order to make this work! Here is the working example.

$( "#dropdownlist" ).autocomplete({
      source: availableTags,
      minLength: 0 
    }).focus(function() {
      $(this).autocomplete('search', $(this).val())
    });
});
