Autocomplete list passed in from HTML input tag not showing
I am using the followng default autocomplete code passing in a variable that consists of a list of XML filenames, but the list is not showing up in the autocomplete box. The jquery code is also interpreting the variable as a literal instead of the values which are the XML filenames.
Can you suggest fixes for both ot the issues?:
