autocomplete “is not a function”

Question

We\'ve tested the Jquery UI (jquery-ui-1.8.10.custom.min.js) Autocomplete function in a simple HTML page which worked.

We then copy the same code into an Asp.net User C

Answer 1

That error usually means that jquery or the plugin hasn't yet been loaded. Check that you're function call isn't getting hit before the document is loaded:

$(function(){
    var $searchBox = $('#mysearchBox');
    $searchBox.autocomplete(...);
});

Also check that the path to the javascript files are correct. Firebug or google chrome developer tools are useful for checking both of these issues.
