Has anyone figured out a solution to this?
I'm trying to modify the autocomplete plugin so that it triggers a
different function (something like clearField() instead of result())
when you click anywhere outside of the autocomplete search. You can
then write some javascript to clear the hidden field and do whatever
else you want it to do in your document.
I basically want to constrain the user to select something that the
autocomplete returns, and nothing else.
