which input field?
if you want to put all selected SKU found to an input, use an array and push every result inside :

   $(function() {  
      var myTagKey = []; 

      $("#tags").autocomplete({
         source:  testSource,
         select: function(event, ui) {
                 myTagKey = ui.item.tagkey; 
                 myTagKey.push(myTagKey);
                 $("#foundtagkey").html("SKU: "+myTagKey.join(" ,"));

the problem was that it was writing the list over the input box. since it worked for you, i looked in the .js files that i was using and changed appendTo from null to body and then set message='' so that no message would be returned
