[jQuery] Re: AutoComplete and JSon not working as expected. Please, help me out.

[shapper]

I also tried the following but until now I wasn't able to make it
work:

      $("#Tags").autocomplete("/Professor/GetTags", {
        autoFill: true,
        cacheLength: 1,
        multiple: true,
        scrollHeight: 200,
        selectFirst: false,
                    width: 260,
                    formatResult: function(item) {
          return item.Name;
        }
     });

Please, does anyone knows how to do this?

MyJson data is as follows:
[{"TagID":"3fae2160-55f6-4dd0-b856-fd27f5d307e2","Name":"John"},
{"TagID":"883b197e-0cb3-4528-8403-0877d742bf47","Name":"Jane"}]

I have been trying to solve this but until now I wasn't able ...

Thanks,
Miguel
