There are nice documentation on the jquery ui site on showing auto-complete options categorized http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/#categoriesAnd there is also an example about showing remote suggestions.http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/#remote But what I want is to load auto-complete options categorized from a remote source. How can I do that? Can any one point me to example or some code snippet? I have been trying this for long. If my search.php can generate that source needed for the categorized suggestion. How do i implement it in the front end? I'm able to generate return this from my php.(Thats how its needed for categorized autocomplete)\[code\] [ { label: "anders", category: "" }, { label: "andreas", category: "" }, { label: "antal", category: "" }, { label: "annhhx10", category: "Products" }, { label: "annk K12", category: "Products" }, { label: "annttop C13", category: "Products" }, { label: "anders andersson", category: "People" }, { label: "andreas andersson", category: "People" }, { label: "andreas johnson", category: "People" } ];\[/code\]But how do i implement in the front-end? This is the code available for remotesource in the site.How do i specify that the php will give results for categorized suggestion?\[code\] <script> $(function() { function log( message ) { $( "<div/>" ).text( message ).prependTo( "#log" ); $( "#log" ).attr( "scrollTop", 0 ); } $( "#birds" ).autocomplete({ source: "search.php", minLength: 2, select: function( event, ui ) { log( ui.item ? "Selected: " + ui.item.value + " aka " + ui.item.id : "Nothing selected, input was " + this.value ); } }); }); </script>\[/code\]
