I'm not sure if this is doable, but I would like to be able to set a jQuery UI event as a function (directly), as opposed to continuing to wrap in additional function(event, ui) { ... } wrappers.
Hopefully you can see what I'm going for from the example below.
Here is what I would like:
$("#auto").autocomplete({
source: "somepage.php",
select: dropdownSelect,
minLength: 0
});
Now I would think that the above would work, since I'm simply trying to say "continue firing this event, just over to that function".
Unfortunately, that will not work, and I'm ending up with this: (and for some reason, a disconnect from all data)
$("#auto").autocomplete({
source: "somepage.php",
select: function(event, ui) { dropdownSelect(event, ui) },
minLength: 0
});
Thanks much in advance.
