Thanks for the reply James,
Got it from http://www.pengoworks.com/workshop/jquery/autocomplete.htm
because it will handle the local array as opposed to the ajax call.
By the way. It will work as the example does as follows:
$("#inputbox").autocompleteArray(['value1','valued','value3'], {
delay: 10,
minChars: 1,
matchSubset: 1,
onItemSelect: selectItem,
onFindValue: findValue,
autoFill: true,
maxItemsToShow: 10
});
I just need to know how to put that array in a variable because the
array has to be created dynamically when the page opens.
