delay after typing when using remote autocomplete

delay after typing when using remote autocomplete

Hi,

I am using the JQM remote autocomplete as demonstrated here:

http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.3.0-beta.1/docs/demos/listviews/listview-filter-autocomplete.html

(I know that link is to a beta demo, but it actually works in stable 1.3.0 as well - I just couldn't find a demo in the docs)

Two things that are possible when using the jquery-ui autocomplete are:

Load the data from a json array downloaded at page load
Wait x mS after last keystroke before firing, to avoid multiple unnecessary queries

For the first one, I know in JQM I can simply enter every option as a <li> element, but can't find any way to load from a local JSON source.

For the second, I suspect this is not possible either...?

I can just move to jquery-ui, but wanted to check I wasn't missing something!
