Many thanks Shawn and Jorn - the use of the MAX parameter makes sense
now. Onto, Ajax and JSON. On the Autocomplete site there is an
example as follows:
EXAMPLE
Autocomplete a text-input with data received via AJAX. For small to
medium sized datasets.
JavaScript:
$.getJSON("my_backend.php", function(data) {
$("#input_box").autocomplete(data);
});
HTML:
<input id="input_box" />
Is this still valid to use for my requirements with a large number of
string items on the server, a small subset of string items returned to
Autocomplete, and continually going back and forth to the server for
subsets of data? [...]
This should be used in your case:
$("#input_box").autocomplete("my_backend.php");
