Autocomplete Demonstration Issue- Not replacing full text

Question

User-740766282 posted

Hi I have used Autocomplete extender to search records in my ecommerce website. When I select a record from recommended list of results, it does not replaces complete text in search bar. It only replaces the last word. For Example : if i type Dell Vostro and i choose a result from recommended list of results (Dell Vostro 520), it replaces only "Vostro" and gives Dell Dell Vostro 520. How to replace full text. I am using the same code as provided in the sample toolkit.

Hi,

I have faced different issues when tried to use AJAX AutoCompleteExtender.So I've gone to jQuery to achieve this perfectly..

  var dsCities = <%=listFilterCities %>;
            $("#txtCities").autocomplete({
                source: dsCities
            });

in page load

listFilterCities = BindName();

    private string BindCities()
    {
        DataTable dt = SearchCity(string.Empty);

        StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder();
        output.Append("[");
        for (int i = 0; i < dt.Rows.Count; ++i)
        {
            output.Append("\"" + dt.Rows[i]["City"].ToString() + "\"");

            if (i != (dt.Rows.Count - 1))
            {
                output.Append(",");
            }
        }
        output.Append("];");
        return output.ToString();
    }

Hope this helps..
