Having a problem with autocomplete
I am trying to use the autocomplete plugin with a large database (over 3000 items). It is very slow to work until the user gets to the 3rd character and then it is reasonable. I am trying to use the minChars option but it doesn't seem to have an effect. The relevant sections of code looks like this (I have left off the intervening HTML and code)
$(
function
() {
$(
"#tags"
).autocomplete(Member
,
{
minChars
:
3
,
source
:
MemberName
});
});
<script>
var MemberName=new Array();
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
MemberName.push(
"<%=Members_rs("
Last Name
") & "
,
" & Members_rs("
First Name
") & "
(
" & Members_rs("
EMail1
") & "
)
"%>"
) ;
</
script
>
<
input
type
='text'
id
='tags'
name
="Member"
value
=''
size
="50">
When I run the page, it still tries to autocomplete from the first letter (causing the system to hang). Any ideas what I'm missing?

P.S. I know I should probably do this with AJAX but frankly I can't figure out how to do that with classic ASP that I write in.
