David, I'm not following completely when you say "I want to be able to pass a numerical string to the script and have it translate those ID numbers to the matching name and spit them out like when you have a completed autocomplete string." Can you elaborate? Are you trying to filter your auto-complete candidates based on an id number? If so, could you do this server-side?
