jQuery autoComplete view all on click

Question

I m using jQuery s autocomplete in a relatively simple way     document  ready function       var data      text   Choice 1                     text   Choice 2                     text   Choice 3          example   autocomplete data      matchContains  true    minChars  0    formatItem  function item         return item text                       How do I add an onclick event  like a button or a link  that will display all the available choices for the autocomplete  Basically I m looking to make a hybrid of an autocomplete and a select dropdown element   Thanks

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

solution from  Display jquery ui auto-complete list on focus event  The solution to make it work more than once   lt script type  text javascript  gt    function             id   autocomplete           source    ActionScript                                                            minLength  0        focus function                   Use the below line instead of triggering keydown           this  data  autocomplete   search   this  val

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

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

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

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
