keypress

when using the jquery ui autocomplete combobox, i would thought there would be an option to force only valid key entry based on the list. Is there anyway to not allow invalid keys so you can only enter valid items in the list? also, is there a way to set a default value of the combobox.

if my list has (csharp, java, python)

i can start typing "abcds . ." and it lets me type it in. I want only valid entries to be allowed.
