Hi Justin,
Thanks for your reply. Can you give me exact code & where to add for
mouse event?
Regarding 2nd solution, do I just need to replace line 316 with the
below line?
return this.element.value.substring(bounds[0], bounds[1]);
Will there be any impact on any other part of the autocompleter? I mean
what would be the side efftect of the above 2 soluns?
Thanks!
