I just looked at the output your server side template is producing and it looks like this: Daniel <span class="highlight0">Jo</span>hns |Daniel Johns |84 All of that should be on a single line. Using a tool like Firebug makes it easy to view what you're AJAX calls are returning. Here's an example of your output: http://kilp.net/test/autocomplete/namesearch.php?q=jo&limit=20 Each record should be in the format: Daniel <span class="highlight0">Jo</span>hns|Daniel Johns|84 Also, you're using Joern's version of the plugin, so adding <span /> tags to highlight text is going to cause problems (because his code also wraps matches in <strong /> tags.) You'd be better off controlling the way his <strong /> tags look via CSS styling. -Dan
