[jQuery] [autocomplete] jquery plugin with json data returned


I'm using the autocomplete from Jörn's blog (http://bassistance.de/
jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-autocomplete/)
(thanks Jörn'!)
I would like to return my data from the php script in json format,
eg:
[{"displayname":"Joe
Smith","username":"Jsmith","email_address":"Jsmith@example.com"},
{"displayname":"Jane
Smith","username":"JaneS","email_address":"JaneS@example.com"}]
Can this plugin play nicely with json returned data? I know it works
if it is static json data..
But at the moment it only views it as 1 string.
