You'll probably need to post your code Mikey.

Copied from above ... I basically just added in that type:"post" but it won't pick up the post variable ... stays as get... not sure why it won't change but I checked on jquery forums and they said the same thing ... just add that param in and it should just work:

Code:
$.ajax({type: "post",

        mode: "abort",

    port: "autocomplete" + input.name,

    dataType: options.dataType,

    url: options.url,

    data: $.extend({

    q: lastWord(term),

    limit: options.max

    }, extraParams),

    success: function(data) {

    var parsed = options.parse && options.parse(data) || parse(data);

               cache.add(term, parsed);

             success(term, parsed);

                }

});

From my view:

Code:
$(document).ready(function(){

    $("#client_name").autocomplete("&lt;?php echo base_url() ?&gt;ajax/customers", {

        scroll: true,

        scrollHeight: 300,

        autoFill: true,

        cacheLength: 1,

        min: 1,

        max: 20,

        matchContains: false,

        onItemSelect:selectItem, selectOnly:1, elementID:'cust_id'

    }); 

});

I'm not sure. You said you were getting an error. What gave the error? What file was it in? Did it give you a line number?

I got it worked out. I switched to the segment based autocomplete described in this thread:

Segment Based Jquery Autocomplete

I initially had some troubles with that on my local server but once I committed to my dev server everything seemed to work fine so I'm pretty sure that is the same issue I was having here. Not sure what the deal was though b/c I'm running a vm image of my dev server. Thanks anyways though.
