You can either type something into the field to get filtered suggestions based on your input, or use the button to get the full list of selections.</p> <p>The input is read from an existing select-element for progressive enhancement, passed to Autocomplete with a customized source-option.</p> <p>This is not a supported or even complete widget. Its purely for demoing what autocomplete can do with a bit of customization. <a href="http://www.learningjquery.com/2010/06/a-jquery-ui-combobox-under-the-hood">For a detailed explanation of how the widget works, check out this Learning jQuery article.</a></p> </div> </body> </html>
