jquery autocomplete this.source is not a function error

Question

I\'ve implemented autocomplete on an input field, but the box does not show up and firebug returns \"this.source is not a function\". I\'ve used autocomplete on other fields

Answer 1

Search at the end of jquery.autocomplete.js the following section:

Create chainable jQuery plugin:

$.fn.devbridgeAutocomplete = function (options, args) {....

This devbridgeAutocomplete is an alternative plugin to access to the same functionality using this lines:

if (!$.fn.autocomplete) {
    $.fn.autocomplete = $.fn.devbridgeAutocomplete;
}

So.. you can use devbridgeAutocomplete instead of autocomplete or any name by changing this $.fn.devbridgeAutocomplete
