I have a solution for you but it involves a few changes
you can define an option in the Autocompleter.local initialization called
"afterUpdateElement" - this will fire the function you define in that option
for example
new Autocompleter.Local('field1', 'field1_list',
source,{fullSearch:true,afterUpdateElement:foo2 });
foo2 is passed the DOM element that Autocompleter is tied to, in this
instance "field1"
so if you change foo2
function foo2(field) {
var val=field.value;
alert(val); // 'jason'
}
it will alert the desired value - let me know if you have any questions
