[solved]post in jquery ui's autocomplete

Thanks. Got it working. I'm new to JQuery so even simple things take some time to understand .

I have got the first part done..which is the normal basic autocomplete POST implementation but what I am trying to achieve seems still too far .

1. Autocomplete calls a php file which sends back a list of names along with their id as JSON stream.(Completed)
2. Now instead of a db query everytime, I want to cache the whole list(in a session may be) after the model returns it once in the beginning and let autocomplete search this cached array everytime.

3. I want this list to be like mini html forms in a div ( rows of NAME / ADD button). When ADD button besides user's friend's name is clicked , the friends id(corresponding to name already in cache) should somehow get stored in an array/hidden variable. This list of added ids can then be sent back to DB finally to store at the end of this whole process.

Spent whole day today trying to learn in bits n pieces and googling if anyone has done something similar which I am sure many must have as its a common search and add item from list via autocomplete feature. No success yet. Can you provide me some direction?

Thanks.
