Hi, We had the requirement to show a link next to the input field like "show options". When clicking this link the autocomplete input field should show the drop down with all the available values. That functionality is already there, but only if the input field is empty and you click/focus/keydown/keyup it.
But if there is already a value inside the input field then the dropdown only shows a subset of values which match the current value (depending on some options). But what we want is that even something is filled in already, that you see the complete list...regardless of the current input field content. I have opened up a ticket in the bugtracker at http://dev.jquery.com/ticket/4485 which describes the problem and contains a patch for a possible solution. It also shows an example how to use this solution. Maybe that is helpful for somebody else. I have search this group here and found at least this post (http:// groups.google.com/group/jquery-en/msg/622c36085eba1f6e) where the author had the same requirement. Thanks Christoph
