I'm using the JQuery Autocomplete plug-in and having a great deal of difficulty setting the value of the field either in advance (before making it an autocomplete) or after page load.
To start, I have a standard text box and was just echoing a value from php into the value="" param. Then, on page load, I set the input to autocomplete. That would wipe out the value I had entered. Next I tried setting it after setting the input as an autocomplete. That looked like it worked, but it really doesn't sync to the values in the search list. For more info, I am using a value/id array as the search values. For those unfamiliar, the array is structured like: [ ['One',1], ['Two',2], ['Three',3] ] The autocomplete functionality works great and result gives me the ID, I just cannot seem to figure out how to preset the value to 2 and display 'Two', for example. Any help greatly appreciated! Erick
