My AJAX

        var min_length = 0; // min caracters to display the autocomplete
       var keyword = $('#category1').val();
      
       //var option =$('input[name=option]:checked').val();
        
       if (keyword.length >= min_length) {
           $.ajax({
               url: 'category1autofill.php',
               type: 'POST',
               data: {keyword:keyword},
               success:function(data){
                   $('#categorylist1').show();
                   $('#categorylist1').html(data);
               }
           });
       } else {
           $('#categorylist1').hide();
