Hi Tom, Thanks for your reply. I see what you mean about the tab key... I hope someone offers you some advice so you can use the plugin without branching. If you do find a solution I'd be glad to hear it too. Did you see my response re; 'selectFirst: false' ? I don't know if this would help your problem but it solved mine. Also I found a list of all the autocomplete options here:
http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Autocomplete/autocomplete#url_or_dataoptions (Click the 'options' tab to the right of the 'overview' tab. The 'options' link further down goes somewhere else.)
