jQuery Autocomplete plugin using extraParams

jQuery Autocomplete plugin makes an input or textarea autocompleteable.

autocomplete( url or data, [options] )

Let's make an example to using extraParams to pass additional get variables:

HTML:

Javascript:

$('#txtAuto').autocomplete('search.php', {

extraParams: {

filter: function(){

return $('#txtFilter').val();

}

}

})

The above code following jQuery Autocomplete Plugin, is NOT working for me. So I do other way.

Javascript:

$('#txtAuto').autocomplete('search.php', {

mustMatch: false

}

})

$('#txtAuto').setOptions({

extraParams:{filter: function(){return $('#txtFilter').val();}

}

});

It's working now!

Note: mustMatch option should be set to false to prevent autocomplete calling search.php again after you select item.

Correct me if i'm wrong :)

Happy coding!
