Overwrite values on Autocomplete jquery ...

Hi

I have a DropDownlist of country states, when i select a state i want to populate a autocomplete editbox with jquery with all the posible results so the user can find the correct city in the current state. Till now i coded the following...

$(document).ready(function(){

//result is an array opf all the posible values...
$("#AutoCompleteText").autocomplete(result, {
            matchContains: true,
            minChars: 0
      });

And it works nice but the problem is when i pick another different state, all the old locations remain in the memory (it seems that jquery appends all the new items), i want to overwrite them!!

Can i reset all the values of the autocomplete editbox in jquery?

});

For each state change rebind the autocomplete field for new city list by calling

$("#AutoCompleteText").autocomplete(result, {
matchContains: true,
minChars: 0
});

where result is the list of cities.

hi shahzadfatehali

I did that before but the autocomplete field appends the new informations instead of rewrite them...
