How to call a method of a UI widget from an event bind function

Hey all,

I need to call a method of the autocomplete widget on the open event. I bind the autocomplete widget to my text field and specify the open property. I want to move the selection automatically to the first item in the list.

  1. open: function(event, ui) {
  2.     $(this)._move('next', event);
  3. }
