[jQuery] looking for advice on the best way to do this... autocomplete then fetch more data


I've got an autocomplete field (based on Jörn Zaefferer's plugin) which works great.
I'm using it to grab a user from a database.
What I need to do now is after the user selects their choice from the dropdown - I need to return to the db and grab more info based on their choice (address, etc).
Or can I somehow return that data with the original query? Not sure which would be best performance wise...
Still getting my feet with with Ajax and not sure the best way to do this - looking for advice and suggestions :)
Thanks!
Jim
