Jquery autocomplete - custom html for result listing

问题

I am referring to this plugin: http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/

So the original structure for the results is

<ul class="ui-autocomplete ui-menu ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-corner-all">
  <li class="ui-menu-item">
    <a class="ui-corner-all">item 1</a>
  </li>
  <li class="ui-menu-item">
    <a class="ui-corner-all">item 2</a>
  </li>
  <li class="ui-menu-item">
    <a class="ui-corner-all">item 3</a>
  </li>
</ul>

I need to make the links inside to look something like this:

<a class="myclass" customattribute="something"> The item </a>

Please don't tell me the only solution it to edit the plugin because i don't want the same format for all autocompletes on the site.

You need to replace the _renderItem method (for the autocomplete in question):

$("selector").autocomplete({ ... })
   .data( "autocomplete" )._renderItem = function( ul, item ) {
        return $( "<li></li>" )
            .data( "item.autocomplete", item )
            .append( "<a class='myclass' customattribute='" + item.customattribute + "'>" + item.label + "</a>" )
            .appendTo( ul );
   };

(assuming the items in your source have a property called customattribute)

As shown in this example: http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/#custom-data

This is also documented in jquery-ui autocomplete documentation at: Jquery-autocomplete.

The trick is:

1. Use this jquery extension: github Code

2. Then in autocomplete option pass

   html:true
   
   ...autocomplete({
   ...
   html:true
   ...
   }
   

   );

3. Now you can pass html(like <div>sample</div>) in "label" field of JSON output for autocomplete.

If you don't know how to add the plugin to JQuery then:

1. Save the plugin(Scott González' html extension) in a js file or download the js file.
2. You have already added the jquery-ui autocomplete script in your html page(or the jquery-ui js file). Add this plugin script after that autocomplete javascript file.

You could try add the attributes with the event "open":

$( ".selector" ).autocomplete({
    open: function(event, ui) {
        var jArrEl = $("a.ui-corner-all");
        jArrEl.addClass("myclass");
        jArrEl.attr("customattribute","something");
    }
});
