Autocomplete Combobox from Documentation Bugs

Autocomplete Combobox from Documentation Bugs

The autocomplete combobox has the following bugs:
  1. submits forms when you select an item
  2. does not take into account the initially selected option
  3. you cannot set the value of the combobox programatically
I solved these issues and the code I added will work for jQuery ui 1.8.

Note: I also have a 'set_empty' call that will only set the combobx if it is empty.  I was using this for starting with a value if one had not been previously set.  Feel free to rip it out if you don't want/need it.
