jquery-ui-autocomplete

I am using jquery v 2.0.0 and jquery ui 1.10.3 Following is my jquery ui autocomplete code: $nameField.combobox({ source: people, buttonSelector: '.toggleList', focus: function () { return false; }, select: function (event, ui) { $nameField.val(ui.item.name).data({ id: ui.item.id, name: ui.item.name, birthdate: ui.item.birthdate }); return false; } }).data('ui-autocomplete')._renderItem = function (ul, item) { if (!_.include(self.idArr, item.id)) { return $('<li></li>').data('ui-autocomplete-item', item).append('<a>' + item.name + '</a>').appendTo(ul); } }; This was working perfectly in older

I have the following JS method to bind the jQuery UI autocomplete widget to a search text box. Everything works fine, including caching, except that I make unnecessary server calls when appending my search term because I don't reuse the just-retrieved results. For example, searching for "ab" fetches some results from the server.

' results' : ' result ') + ' found'; } }, }); NOTE:

I want in my project to show some first results before I focus autocomplete input. Those results should work the same way as results of autocomplete ajax request. Can I do this by standart options of autocomplete or I should write equal javascript code? You should set the minLength option to 0 .
