Callback not triggered for autocomplete select change
I'm trying to make an autocomplete select from
http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/#combobox, and I have a progressive enhancement dropdown menu which works in terms of apparent UI behavior but does not trigger the callback behavior I'm attempting.
I have:
$(".autocomplete").bind("autocompletechange",
update_autocomplete);
$(".autocomplete").bind("autocompleteselect",
update_autocomplete);
update_autocomplete() is a function that takes two arguments and, at present, has an alert() inserted in the beginning; I'm not seeing the alert getting called for any way of picking an item from the UI.
Advice or diagnostics/code I can post? When someone picks a dropdown menu item via autocomplete, I want an Ajax call registering the choice.
