Hi leakim971,<br />
<br />
Just a couple of questions from that stackoverflow page:<br />

<pre><code id="code-20-35044030-1">source: function( request, response ) {
                var t = jQuery.grep(t, function(a){
                        var patt = new RegExp(&quot;^&quot; + request.term, &quot;i&quot;);
                        return (patt.match(a));
                    });
                response(t);
            },</code></pre>
<br />
1) What is the &quot;t&quot; variable of the grep parameter?<br />
2) What is the &quot;a&quot; variable of the function parameter?<br />
3) Where the source go or where is it from?<br />
<br />
Sorry, still learning the jQuery UI.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Hi leakim971,

Just a couple of questions from that stackoverflow page:


source: function( request, response ) {
                var t = jQuery.grep(t, function(a){
                        var patt = new RegExp("^" + request.term, "i");
                        return (patt.match(a));
                    });
                response(t);
            },


1) What is the "t" variable of the grep parameter?
2) What is the "a" variable of the function parameter?
3) Where the source go or where is it from?

Sorry, still learning the jQuery UI.

Thanks,
Victor

Hi,<br />
<br />
1) I'm wondering how I can use the jQuery UI autocomplete. In the list I'll have First name and last name as the values and text. Here is a sample name list:<br />
Jack Henry<br />
Jill Moore<br />
Randy Tuttle<br />
Henry Miller<br />
Enrique Sands<br />
<br />
If I type in &quot;en&quot; then I get Jack Henry, Henry Miller and Enrique Sands but I'm wondering if it's possible to just search by the beginning characters. So if I type in &quot;en&quot; then the autocomplete will search for any first name that starts with &quot;En&quot;.<br />
<br />
2) Is there any good example so the list can be built from a table? I guess it would load on #(document).ready()

jQuery UI autocompete

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.

JavaScript

Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) is a group of interrelated Web development techniques used on the client-side to create asynchronous Web applications. With AJAX, web applications can send data to and retrieve from a server asynchronously (in the background) without interfering with the display and behavior of the existing page. HTML and CSS can be used in combination to mark up and style information. The Document Object Model (DOM) is accessed with JavaScript to dynamically display and allow interaction with the information presented.

AJAX

JScript is Microsoft's dialect of the ECMAScript standard that is used in Microsoft's Internet Explorer. JScript is implemented as an Active Scripting engine, so it can be "plugged in" to OLE Automation applications that support Active Scripting, such as Internet Explorer, Active Server Pages, and Windows Script Host. It also means such applications can use multiple Active Scripting languages, e.g., JScript, VBScript or PerlScript.
