I am trying to use JQuery UI autocomplete (1.8) for an app. It is set up like this:
$('#txtigtags').autocomplete({
    serviceUrl: '/tags/searchtags' + $('#txtigtags').val(),
    minChars: 2,
    delimiter: ' ',
    select: function () { alert(''); },
    deferRequestBy: 500
});
According to the documentation the select event should fire whenever an entry is selected in the drop-menu and I should get the alert. But the select event is not firing at all. Neither is focus.
What am I doing wrong?
