jQuery AutoComplete Trigger Change Event

Question

How do you trigger jQuery UI\'s AutoComplete change event handler programmatically?

Hookup

$(\"#CompanyList\").autocomplete({ 
    s         


        

Answer 1

$('#search').autocomplete( { source: items } );
$('#search:focus').autocomplete('search', $('#search').val() );

This seems to be the only one that worked for me.
