I have a JavaScript function that makes an Ajax call and returns results into a local variable. I would like to call this function from the Autocomplete plugin (http://bassistance.de/jquery-plugins/ jquery-plugin-autocomplete/) as my Ajax data souce. I understand that Autocomplete can use either a local variable or a URL, but the framework I'm using has some built-in Ajax functions to set the value of a variable, run a SQL query, and return the result.
I could do this by re-writing autocomplete, but I don't think that's the best solution. So, lets say I have some JavaScript function called getMyData, how would I extend Autocomplete such that it calls getMyData instead of a URL to get the results? Thanks, Tyler
