Hi Jorn, Is there a way to call a function when no results are returned by the input the user has typed into the autocomplete?
This would be ideal as an option or a method for the autocomplete object. I've seen a few people ask for this on your site and also here. You mentioned including such functionality in a future release but I don't think it was done. Anyone mange to do this or have pointers on how I could go about implementing it myself? If I succeed maybe we can add this as a feature to the current build of autocomplete?
