basic jquery autocomplete with remote data source --how? -
what proper way autocomplete working remote data? read document @
http://docs.jquery.com/plugins/autocomplete
and ran example code. example worked fine local data stored in js array, when used remote url, doesn't work. see autocomplete http request being generated, , can see local web server responding correct data. autocomplete info not pop up.
here .html code, different 2 lines example in jquery documentation:
<html> <head> <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script> <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://dev.jquery.com/view/trunk/plugins/autocomplete/demo/main.css" type="text/css" /> <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://dev.jquery.com/view/trunk/plugins/autocomplete/jquery.autocomplete.css" type="text/css" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://dev.jquery.com/view/trunk/plugins/autocomplete/lib/jquery.bgiframe.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://dev.jquery.com/view/trunk/plugins/autocomplete/lib/jquery.dimensions.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://dev.jquery.com/view/trunk/plugins/autocomplete/jquery.autocomplete.js"></script> <script> $(document).ready(function(){ url = "http://localhost:8000/autocomplete/" $("#example").autocomplete(url); }); </script> </head> <body> api reference: <input id="example" /> (try "c" or "e") </body> </html>
is there else needed in .htm file? should change data format returned server? when type "fr" text box, server returns this:
["fractal","fractal","fractalzebra","frad","fraet",]
i trying display simple list of strings, don't need include additional data in server response unless turns out required jquery.
thanks in advance, problem has been stumping me.

make sure you're not running same origin policy issue which, prior jquery 1.5, required different origin domain ajax calls jsonp, , implementable crossdomain:true. far autocomplete plugin goes, i'm not aware how fetches data might not applicable, said local version working , remote data not made me think of immediately.
