Autocomplete (jqueryui) working only in Chrome

Autocomplete (jqueryui) working only in Chrome

Hi - I'm quite new to both js and jQuery, but so far I've been excited by how easy it is to accomplish difficult tasks.
 
However  it's full stop now. I have an autocomplete function that works excellent in Chrome. I have to make it work in IE9 as well, and I can't figure out what is wrong.
 
A request like: http://nrkdt58617/sn/api/suggestions/Makhatsj from the autocomplete function
will return json.
 
I'm enclosing both my code and a sample json response. In advance, thanks a lot for any help,
