I'm using the jquery autocomplete plugin. Suppose the user starts typing, and the autocomplete presents a drop- down of possible values. If the user presses return, the first value in the drop-down is selected.
What I want instead is the user experience that Firefox's search box provides: As the user types, search suggestions are offered. If the user presses return without selecting a suggestion, what the user has typed so far is submitted. And of course, if the user does explicitly select a value from the drop-down, then the selected value is submitted. Is there a way to make jquery autocomplete do that?
