Hello, For a project I am working on I've successfully implemented the autocompleter (http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Autocomplete) and although it works like a charm, I would like to give the results a different markup. Currently, all rows are displayed as LI elements which makes perfect sense, but I would like to group my results in rows and columns (like a TABLE). (I understand this wish is not only a matter of different markup).
A live example to illustrate what I would like to have can be viewed at http://www.last.fm/. At the top right of the homepage appears a search box ('try our new search'), and when you start typing there (let's say 'melvin'), the results are grouped by artists and albums (other groups are 'tags' and 'tracks'). Handy! I have been searching for additions (autocomplete+table) to what seems to be the 'official' autocomplete plugin but without success. Also, from reading the specifications, it seems the markup is not tweakable via the API. So my questions are: is it possible to return the suggestions as grouped rows with the current plugin? Is it possible to change the markup from an unordered list (UL) to a table (TABLE)? I think not but I like to think other people have experimented with this already :-) And if not, maybe it would be a cool and welcome future feature? What I could do for now though is to fake a table by grouping the returned suggestions and some CSS tweaks, so the data would look like this: > suggestion A (artist) > suggestion B (artist) > suggestion C (album) > suggestion D (album) > suggestion E (album) and then using CSS I could display these suggestions as follows: artist suggestion A suggestion B suggestion C album suggestion D suggestion E (I hope this looks somewhat OK in a non-fixed width font) Any tips, hints, remarks on above exmaple, and especially links to working demo's that cover perfectly what I want will be highly appreciated! Thanks in advance, Maarten
