I would like JQuery to call search.php?query=mytext (this URL returning a list of matching items) because I need to lookup suggestions in a database using PHP. Is there a way to do that?

I tried a solution regarding renaming 'autocomplete' to 'ui-autocomplete' (using JQueryUI 1.10.0, JQuery 1.8.3) and am still getting an error for: TypeError: $(...).autocomplete(...).data(...) is undefined } }).data('ui-autocomplete')._renderItem = function (ul, item) { its defined in 1.10.0 but I need to override: _renderItem: function( ul, item ) { return $( "<li>" ) .append( $( "<a>" ).text( item.label ) ) .appendTo( ul ); }, here is my whole code: var ajaxCall_QuickSearchCompanyId; $('#QuickSearchCompanyId').autocomplete({ minLength: 2, delay: 300, source: function (request, response) { if

I have 3 input fields , 1 for data type and other 2 are its relevant. when i press button in data type field i want to display autocomplete window like this instead of this And after select it should look like this HTML <tr> <td><input type="text" id="no_1" class="form-control"></td> <td><input type="text" data-type="vehicle" id="vehicle_1" class="type form-control"></td> <td><input type="text" id="type_1" class="form-control"></td> </tr> JS $(document).on('focus','.type',function(){ type = $(this).data('type'); if(type =='vehicle' )autoTypeNo = 1; $(this).autocomplete({ source: function(

There is an issue if you open up an autocomplete drop down and also resize your browser window the autocomplete drop down does not reposition.
