It s better to use the select event instead   The change event is bound to keydown as Wil said  So if you want to listen to change on selection use select like that       yourcomponent   autocomplete         select  function event  ui            console log ui

The programmatically trigger to call the autocomplete change event is via a namespaced trigger on the source select element       CompanyList   trigger  blur autocomplete      Within version 1 8 of jquery UI     bind   blur autocomplete   function  event         if   self options disabled             return             clearTimeout  self searching           clicks on the menu  or a button to trigger a search  will cause a blur event     self closing   setTimeout function             self close  event            self  change  event           150

I was trying to do the same  but without keeping a variable of autocomplete  I walk throught this calling change handler programatically on the select event  you only need to worry about the actual value of input        CompanyList   autocomplete        source  context companies       change  handleCompanyChanged      select  function event ui               CompanyList   trigger  blur                CompanyList   val ui item value           handleCompanyChanged

You have to manually bind the event  rather than supply it as a property of the initialization object  to make it available to trigger       CompanyList   autocomplete        source  context companies    bind   autocompletechange   handleCompanyChanged      then      CompanyList   trigger  autocompletechange      It s a bit of a workaround  but I m in favor of workarounds that improve the semantic uniformity of the library

Here you go   It s a little messy but it works     function          var companyList       CompanyList   autocomplete          change  function               alert  changed                      companyList autocomplete  option   change   call companyList

The simplest  most robust way is to use the internal   trigger   to fire the autocomplete change event       CompanyList   autocomplete     source   yourSource    change   yourChangeHandler         CompanyList   data  ui-autocomplete    trigger  change      Note  jQuery UI 1 9 changed from  data  autocomplete   to  data  ui-autocomplete    You may also see some people using  data  uiAutocomplete   which indeed works in 1 9 and 1 10  but  ui-autocomplete  is the official preferred form  See http   jqueryui com upgrade-guide 1 9  changed-naming-convention-for-data-keys for jQuery UI namespaecing on data keys

This post is pretty old  but for thoses who got here in 2016  None of the example here worked for me  Using keyup instead of autocompletechange did the job  Using jquery-ui 10 4      CompanyList   on  keyup   function  event  ui        console log   this  val           Hope this help

They are binding to keydown in the autocomplete source  so triggering the keydown will case it to update       CompanyList   trigger  keydown      They aren t binding to the  change  event because that only triggers at the DOM level when the form field loses focus  The autocomplete needs to respond faster than  lost focus  so it has to bind to a key event   Doing this    companyList autocomplete  option   change   call companyList     Will cause a bug if the user retypes the exact option that was there before

Here is a relatively clean solution for others looking up this topic          run when eventlistener is triggered     CompanyList   on   autocompletechange   function event ui          post value to console for validation    console log   this  val           Per api jqueryui com autocomplete   this binds a function to the eventlistener  It is triggered both when the user selects a value from the autocomplete list and when they manually type in a value  The trigger fires when the field loses focus
