[jQuery] [autocomplete] jQuery plugin of bassistance -> Howto enhance functionality?

[visionmaster]

Hello together,

I'm using the Autocomplete jQuery plugin from bassistance, see
http://bassistance.de/jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-autocomplete/

It actually works fine. When I click on an element from the
autosuggest-list, it's value is correctly transfered to the associated
input field.

Now I want to enhance the functionality as the following. When I click
an element from the autosuggest-list, I want to trigger a PHP script,
which does a search over the passed value right away.

I unfortunately have no idea how to do that. Anyone have an idea?

Here my code:

<script src="../../include/jquery/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></
script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../include/jquery/autocomplete/
jquery.autocomplete.css" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="../../include/jquery/autocomplete/
jquery.autocomplete.js"></script>

<script>
        $(document).ready(function() {

                        function selectItem(li) {

                                        return false;

                        }

                        function formatItem(row) {

                                        return row[0] + " <i>(" + row[1] + " 
Geräte)</i>";

                        }

                        $("#suggestion").autocomplete("../../include/
suggest_quicksearch.php", {
                                delay:10,
                                minChars:3,
                                matchSubset:1,
                                matchContains:1,
                                width:250,
                                selectFirst:false,
                                onItemSelect:selectItem,
                                formatItem:formatItem,
                                cacheLength:10
                        });
        });

</script>




Thanks for your help.
