jquery autocomplete this.source is not a function error

Question

I\'ve implemented autocomplete on an input field, but the box does not show up and firebug returns \"this.source is not a function\". I\'ve used autocomplete on other fields

Answer 1

Answer is that the first parameter of the autocomplete should be an object containing the "source" property. This works

var fakedata = ['test1','test2','test3','test4','ietsanders'];
$("#omschrijving").autocomplete({source:fakedata});
