I am wondering how to grab the selected item's text value on jquery autocomplete.
I have initialised jquery as following :
$(document).ready(function (){
$("input#autocomplete").autocomplete({
source: postcodelist,
select: function (event, ui) {
AutoCompleteSelectHandler(event, ui)
}
});
});
And I have created a function function AutoCompleteSelectHandler(event, ui) { }.
Inside this function I want to some extra handling to feed data into correct textboxes but I can't figure out how to grab the text value of the selected item.
I did google a bit and tried examples but I can't seem to get it working.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks a lot advance.
