I mailed Pengoworks, this is their reply: I'm not well versed in Python, but I think you're problem is that the results from the AJAX call are not in the expected format. By default, they're expected to be the format:
Sparta|896 Spencer|897 Spencerville|898 Spring Valley|899 Springboro|900 Springfield|901 Where each line is separated by a pipe and each line is delimited with a line feed. You can change these values lineSeparator and cellSeparator options. See the docs: http://www.pengoworks.com/workshop/jquery/autocomplete_docs.txt However, I'd really recommend migrating to the official jQuery autocomplete plug-in as it's in active development: http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/ Has anyone in the group been using this plug-in? How would I implement it in the case above? Kind regards, Annet.
