Jquery UI autocomplete ajax is not populating dropdown box

Question

I need help with this, I can\'t see where is the problem.

When I set source for autocomplete in html file, it works fine, when I same source or database values print

The parameter response is actually a callback tthat you have to call - passing it your data - to display the result popup menu. Simply call it in the "success" callback:

source: function(request, response) {
    $.ajax({
        ...
        success: function(data) {
            // pass your data to the response callback
            response(data);
        },
        error: function(message) {
            // pass an empty array to close the menu if it was initially opened
            response([]);
        }
    });
},
