$("#myInput").autocomplete({source: "whatever", minLength: 0}).focus(function(){ $(this).autocomplete("search","");});

(not tested)

That fires when a menu item gets focus. You want to fire the code Dave has in the focus function but on the focus of the input element rather than the autocomplete. To do that I think you might have to subclass the autocomplete widget. Not something I have done.

Please try my code. The focus is applied to the input element (assuming it has an id of myInput in the example).

See example here: http://jsbin.com/ehupa3/edit

Although this thread was created a year ago, but this is exactly what I looking for.

Dave, do you know how to add a button on the text fields just like the combobox does?

The sample you provided was for the new jquery UI autocomplete, that is not as feature rich as the plugin at:

http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Autocomplete

Unfortunately this Plugin doesn't seem to be able to do what we need, which the jquery UI autocomplete can (i.e. populate a default drop down).
