Solution 1

It looks like you have copy-pasted the stuff from some where. Your way of using the autocomplete for fixed array is incorrect.

Try this:

XML

<input id="txtSearchTag">

JavaScript

//directly put this in a script tag. 
var a2;
a2 = $('#months').autocomplete({
      width: 300,
      delimiter: /(,|;)\s*/,
      lookup: 'January,February,March,April,May,June,July,August,September,October,November,December'.split(',')
    })

This is NOT needed: jQuery(function(){

Done!

yeah tried it before but it doesnt working that why im using it.. or the code is different if using in user control?

Sandeep Mewara 27-Apr-11 5:07am

Works perfectly fine for me. I tried it.

You surely must be doing something different. If in usercontrol, make sure the JS file reference is correct and autocomplete js file is in place where it expects.

Hurmm but sandeep do u know how to add autocomplete for each word user enter in the textfield? ;p

Sandeep Mewara 28-Apr-11 0:29am

You need to have a repository of the words and using AJAX get the related words for display.

MissNano 28-Apr-11 21:49pm

Sandeep Mewara 29-Apr-11 0:06am

I guess the same website from where you copied this code. It has the AJAX example.
