Here is the image of current working operation I am using jquery auto complete . But my problem is when i type item1 it shows item1 as suggestion. And i want to show when i type item1 is should be show zzz1 inside suggestion box. My code is here.
<input name="jobCat" id="jobCat" value="" type="text" placeholder="Search category by keyword"/>
<script>
$(function() {
var datasource = [
{ "label": "item1", "value": "zzz1", "id": 1 },
{ "label": "item2", "value": "zzz2", "id": 2 },
{ "label": "item3", "value": "zzz3", "id": 3 }];
$("#jobCat").autocomplete({
source: datasource,
select: function (event, ui) { }
});
</script>
Edit, I found something usefull in the documentation... For having the values in the suggestions, instead of the labels.
var datasource = [
{ "label": "item1", "value": "zzz1", "id": 1 },
{ "label": "item2", "value": "zzz2", "id": 2 },
{ "label": "item3", "value": "zzz3", "id": 3 }];
$("#jobCat").autocomplete({
source: datasource,
}).autocomplete( "instance" )._renderItem = function( ul, item ) {
return $( "<li>" )
.append( "<div>" + item.value + " - ID: " + item.id + "</div>" )
.appendTo( ul );
};
