How can I make my jquery autocomplete highlight what the user is typing in in any autocompleted results? The code I am using is:
$("#keyword").autocomplete({
source: "ajax/autocomplete.php?action=keyword",
minLength: 2
});
Tried this implemented from the link tomasz posted:
$("#keyword").autocomplete({
source: "ajax/autocomplete.php?action=keyword",
highlight: function(value, term) {
return value.replace(new RegExp("("+term+")", "gi"),'<b>$1</b>');
},
minLength: 2
});
No luck there either. jQuery autocomplete seems to hate me.
Update: Thanks to David Murdoch, I now have an answer! See @Herman's copy of the answer below.
