Hi 

I have weird problem. I am using JQuery autocomplete functionality. Now the value that put me in trouble is 'TP 0042', I want to see 'TP 0042' as option when I will search for

'TP 0042'(with space) or 'TP0042'(without space).

Please please please help me.

There is a change in jQuery. Replace this with the following code:

<script type="text/javascript">
	    $(document).ready(function() {
	        SearchText();
	    });
	    function SearchText() {
	        $("#txtSearch").autocomplete({
	            source: function(request, response) {
	                $.ajax({
	                    type: "POST",
	                    contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
	                    url: "AutoCompletewithMultipleSelection.aspx/GetAutoCompleteData",
	                    data: "{'username':'" + extractLast(request.term) + "'}",
	                    dataType: "json",
	                    success: function(data) {
	                        response(data.d);
	                    },
	                    error: function(result) {
	                        alert("Error");
	                    }
	                });
	            },
	            focus: function() {
	                // prevent value inserted on focus
	                return false;
	            },
	            select: function(event, ui) {
	                var terms = split(this.value);
	                // remove the current input
	                terms.pop();
	                // add the selected item
	                terms.push(ui.item.value);
	                // add placeholder to get the comma-and-space at the end
	                terms.push(", ");
	                this.value = terms.join(" ");
	                return false;
	            }
	        });
	        $("#txtSearch").bind("keydown", function(event) {
	            if (event.keyCode === $.ui.keyCode.TAB &&
						$(this).data("autocomplete").menu.active) {
	                event.preventDefault();
	            }
	        })
	        function split(val) {
	            return val.split(""); //This section specifies to accept the word with space
	        }
	        function extractLast(term) {
	            return split(term).pop();
	        }
	    }
</script>
