There isn't a XML example, but it should be possible to adapt this json example:
http://dev.jquery.com/view/trunk/plugins/autocomplete/demo/json.html Basically replace the dataType and change the parsing code. You can still use jQuery to convert the xml response to JavaScript objects. See for example http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2007/10/10/jquery-and-xml.html Jörn On Tue, Dec 2, 2008 at 3:47 PM, Casey Wise <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > You guys, I really dig working with jQuery, very powerful stuff.
