    {assign var=result_products_cnt value=1}
    {foreach from=$result_products item=product}
        {if $result_products_cnt eq $result_products_total}
            { label: "{$product.name}", value: "{$product.name}", desc: "{$product.id_product}" }
        {else}
            { label: "{$product.name}", value: "{$product.name}", desc: "{$product.id_product}" },
        {/if}
        {assign var=result_products_cnt value=$result_products_cnt+1}
    {/foreach}
];
return availableTags;
}
var availableTags = getTage();
$( "#nxpublisher_productid_"+i ).autocomplete({
  source: availableTags,
  select: function( event, ui ) {
    $(this).next().val(ui.item.desc);
  },
  open: function() { $('.ui-menu').width(400); $('.ui-menu li a').css("font-weight", "bold"); $('.ui-menu li a').css("text-align", "left");}
});

nxpublisher_productid_ is one of the id of my multiple taxtboxes where i want to initiate autocomplete.

P.S i have used this function in smarty so please dont mind copying complete function.
