I found a solution on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/609362/jquery-autocomplete-plugin-not-focusing-the-next-clicked-field .
"The fix is: Comment out lines 308-310 of the unpacked version: //if (wasVisible) // position cursor at end of input field //$.Autocompleter.Selection(input, input.value.length, input.value.length);And from Luca's post, comment out line 510: //input.focus();These both need to be commented out to make it work properly." It works!!! -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: jquery-en@googlegroups.com [mailto:jquery...@googlegroups.com] Im Auftrag von Tom Worster Gesendet: Donnerstag, 4.
