Since you're in a hurry, try my original mod to see if it works for you: http://www.pengoworks.com/workshop/jquery/autocomplete.htm Joern's made a lot of changes and refactored most of the code. Joern's code base is definitely going to be a huge improvement, but it is still in development and there are known issues and it's not really ready for prime time yet. Anyway, I'm going to take a stab at what I think may be the issues below. First, there's definitely a positioning issue in Firefox. The pop-ups are appearing at the bottom of the document. Not sure what the issue is, but it could be a CSS issue w/one of the parent object. By do any of the parent items in the input boxes have relative positions? >Problem page: >http://anime-planet.com/anirec/recommendation2.php?animeid=2 > >Autocomplete initialization: > >$("#rec1").autocomplete( > "autocomplete_anirec.php", > { > minChars:3, > cacheLength:50, > max:50, > delay: 10 > } >); > >(I admittedly am not sure what cacheLength does, but I >tried increasing it) The cacheLength controls how many items to cache. Each AJAX call is cached--so that no more AJAX operations are needed. >In "autocomplete_anirec.php", I am echoing: $title . >"\n" for each title. > >--------------------------- > >Repro steps (for problem 1): >1.

Joern's code is heavily refactored here and the problem isn't jumping out at me. Like I said, try my code for the time being. From the looks of your example, it'll do everything you need. -Dan
