this shows all the options       see below   The important thing is that you have to place it underneath the previous  example declaration  like in the example below  This took me a while to figure out        example    autocomplete               source   countries php               minLength  1              selectFirst  true          example   autocomplete   search

I guess a better option is to put     idname   autocomplete   search         into the onclick paramter of the text box   Since on select  a focus is put in by jquery   this can be a workaround   Dont know if it should be an acceptable solution

I needed to do this recently and after trying a few different permutations  using onfocus  onclick of textbox etc   I finally settled on this       lt input id  autocomplete  name  autocomplete  type  text    value  Choose Document  gt     lt p gt    lt button type  submit  value  Submit  name  submit  id  submit   gt    Submit   lt  button gt    lt  p gt    lt script type  text javascript  gt       autocomplete   autocomplete    source    Url Content    Document DocumentTypeAutoComplete        lt --ddl source   minLength  0     lt -- This is necessary to get the search going on blank input   delay  0   select  function  event  ui         if  ui item             autocomplete   val ui item value     lt -- Place selection in the textbox              docForm   submit               loadDocTypeCreatePartial ui item                 submit   focus      This stops the drop down list from reopening                                     after an item in the select box is chosen                                    You can place the focus anywhere you d like                                     I just chose my  submit  button                             focus function             following line will autoselect textbox text        making it easier for the user to overwrite whats in the         textbox       this  select           The below line triggers the search function on an empty string       this  data  autocomplete   search               lt  script gt    This opens the autocomplete ddl list on focus  Even if you have default text in your input box like I do above     It also auto-selects the text in the text box to prevent the user from having to clear out the text   Once an item is selected from the auto-complete list  it puts that item into the auto-complete input box and moves the focus to another control  thus preventing the auto-complete from reopening    I plan on replacing it by adding dynamic Ajax calls to the very nice Chosen select lists with the Melting Ice upgrade when I get a chance

this is the only thing that works for me   List shows everytime and closes upon selection       example    autocomplete       focus function       var self   this     window setTimeout function           if  self value length    0          self  autocomplete  search

I have seen all the answers which seem to be complete   If you want to get the list when the cursor is in the text field OR when you click on the matching label  here how you can do     YourDataArray     foo   bar         YourID    autocomplete               source  YourDataArray             click function       this  autocomplete  search               this works fine in Firefox  IE  Chrome

In order to show all items   simulate combobox behavior  you should first ensure you have set the minLength option to 0  default is 1   Then you can bind the click event to perform a search with the empty string      inputSelector   autocomplete   minLength  0        inputSelector   click function       this  autocomplete  search

I can t see an obvious way to do that in the docs  but you try triggering the focus  or click  event on the autocomplete enabled textbox       myButton   click function            autocomplete   trigger  focus      or  click   at least one should work
