[jQuery] Re: How to have Autocomplete dropdown act like select box and trigger onchange event for input

[Mark Thompson]

I have changed a little of my code and have gotten the onchange code
to run, but Internet Explorer does not hide the dropdown list after
selecting a value unless selected a second time. What can I do to
change this behavior?

var idList  = "<%=addIDStringBuffer.toString()%>";
var idArray = idList.split(",");

$(document).ready(function() {
  for(var i=0; i<idArray.length; i++) {
    $("#city"+idArray[i]).autocomplete(
      [
        <%=cityList.toString()%>
      ],
      {
        delay: 100,
        selectFirst: false
        max: 10,
        scrollHeight: 500
      }
    );
  }
});

Could someone please advise?
