Hello:

I am having trouble getting autocomplete to work. I send my term to the server and get a response back:


But no dropdown appears. Thanks. Eric

As elems does not appear anywhere in your source, perhaps you are looking in the wrong place?

You'll need to give us some more info regarding the context of the error.

Thanks,

it turns out that "item" is undefined at the place marked below. The elems reference comes from the jquery 1.7.1 file (~line 760)and is shown below. I copied this autocomplete from a tutorial. Is this a correct usage of map()?

Eric.
