jQuery UI Autocomplete with CI ??

Same as first example.

If you look inside the source of the 2nd example you find this code:

Code:

$("#birds").autocomplete({
            // TODO doesn't work when loaded from /demos/#autocomplete|remote
            source: "search.php",
            minLength: 2,
            select: function(event, ui) {
                log(ui.item ? ("Selected: " + ui.item.value + " aka " + ui.item.id) : "Nothing selected, input was " + this.value);
            }
        });

Source file is search.php, so the autocomplete sends a request to search.php and it returns some data with echo.

You could call this directly like: search.php?q=test
