I'm trying to use jquery autocomplete plugin to display autocomplete for input field, and to list hyperlinks which match users input before user selects search.
http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/autocomplete
This would be similar to the Google interface.
I have the below code which works fine for the input field, but I'm can't seem to figure out how to update the result or ListOfLinks section with the hyperlinks matching what user has typed (before user enters submit).
How can I add logic to update the other fields while user is entering text in the input field?
