Title Body

I have an autocomplete text box that needs to respond to 2 events: When the user is done typing something in the text box (I'm currently using focusout to assume when the user is done typing. So, if a user tabs out of a text box, it means the user is done typing.) When the user selects an item in the autocomplete list of values (I'm using autocomplete's select event to determine that) The Problem: When the user selects an item in the autocomplete list of values, the chain of event is such that focusout is called first, then the select . When in focusout , I only have access to what the user typed, not what the user selected om the autocomplete list of values -- and that's what I actually need. How do I solve this problem? Steps to Reproduce the Problem: In the text box, type the letter a Select ActionScript from the autocomplete list of values Observe console.debug messages: focusout event called a select event called ActionScript Here's the code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" /> <link href="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8/themes/base/jquery-ui.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/> <title>Data Matching</title> </head> <body> <form> <input id="1" type="text"></input> <input id="2" type="submit"></input> </form> <script type="t
