Failing to display list of values using Autocomplete Remote Datasource in 1.9.2
I am trying to upgrade from 1.8 to 1.9 and could not make the autocomplete to function with remote datasource. So I tried to use the demo version and host it on my server, and it fails too.
I suspect the problem is with / characters in the source property.
Searching for "pig" hoping to find "pigeon", it works it I use the following URL
http://jqueryui.com/resources/demos/autocomplete/search.php?term=pig
Could anyone try the following example and search for "pi" or "pig".
Thanks, Eric
