get jquery ui autocomplete selected id and save in hidden field then display on page on button click
I have this jquery UI autocomplete.

Is there a way to get the selected id from the autocomplete but don't display it on select event.
Instead show the selected value when I click the button.
So for example if I pick Algeria from the autocomplete. It will display Algeria in the textbox and the id 18 in another textbox.
Is it possible to save the selected id in a hidden field and then when I click the button display the value that was stored in hidden field on the page?
