Answer 1

You could use the formatItem option:

$('#foo').autocomplete({ 
    url : '/foo', 
    formatItem: function(item, position, length) {
        return item.NAME;
    } 
});

For the jquery ui autocomplete here's how you could achieve this:

$('#foo').autocomplete({
    source: function(request, response) {
        $.getJSON('/foo.php', { q: request.term }, function(result) {
            response($.map(result, function(item) {
                return item.NAME;
            }));
        });
    }
});
