How to change textbox value on select event with autocomplete (jQuery UI)

Question

Why won\'t #input-myBox clear when I select an item? It seems autocomplete is preventing my .val(\'\') to work so how can I workaround this?

Answer 1

There is inconsistent with your code:

$("#input-mybox").appendTo(".foo");
$("#input-myBox").val('');  

"#input-myBox" || "#input-mybox" ???
