jQuery textbox change event

[phantom007]

Hi

I have been struggling with this since morning today. So I hope someone can help me with my problem.

I am using jQuery autocomplete plugin for one of my site.

What exactly I am looking for is either of the following:

1) When someone selects one of the data from the auto-complete list, (either by selecting it with their mouse or by pressing the enter key), the plugin should fire a callback event with the value of the text entered.

OR

2) By using the change event of jquery to monitor whenever a data has been selected from the list. I am trying to achieve this by using the following code:

	$('#search').change(function() {
		
		console.log('Hello World');
	
	});

But apparently the above code is only triggering the event whenever the user presses any key and NOT when a data from the list is selected.

I am attaching the relevant code. So if you could please help me with this.


Many Thanks in advance.

I suggest you use the jQuery UI autocomplete widget, which provides a number of built in events including selection of an autocomplete option.

HI

Thanks so much for replying. Can you please let me know if they support IMAGE + Text as list items?

I mean, I am looking something like the oanda currency converter type autocomplete.

Please let me know.

Thanks
