So, I am working with the jQuery Autocomplete function, and am trying to write a custom data parser. Not sure what I am doing incorrectly, but it throws an error on trying to call the autocompleteSourceParse function, saying that req is not set.

setURL("ajax/clients/ac");

function autocompleteSourceParse(req, add){
   var suggestions = [];
    $.getJSON(getURL()+"/"+req, function(data){            
        $.each(data, function(i, val){
            suggestions.push(val.name);
        });
        add(suggestions);
    });
    return(suggestions);
}

$("#company").autocomplete({
    source: autocompleteSourceParse(req, add), 
    minLength: 2
});
