I'm at my wits end with this one because there doesn't seem to be anything viable for this.

I have tried using jQuery UI's autocomplete from SVN, which can be found here: http://jquery-ui.googlecode.com/svn/branches/dev/autocomplete/

But the total lack of (updated) documentation has got me as far as displaying a bunch of [Object]'s in my result list, with no clue how to format it.

I just want a simple autocomplete plugin that:

  • Allows me to return a JSON object that the plugin itself will parse

  • Allows me to specify a seperate inputField from the displayField so that the user sees "Stackoverflow Industries" but the input field is actuall "5", the companies id.

  • Obviously, does the basics that an autocomplete plugin will do

Thanks in advance..
