[jQuery] Validation and autocomplete

[epitka]

Hi,
I am trying to use validation plugin found at 
http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation
but cannot get it to work when there is a autocomplete on the page.
It  validates even when a value is picked from the suggested values
rather then only on submit.
I am new to jquery, but here is how it looks like. Any help would be
appreciated.

    <script type="text/javascript">

        function findValue(li) {
            if (li == null) return "";

            if (!!li.extra) var sValue = li.extra[0];

            //set the value of the hidden input field so we don't have
to lookup the bid Id on the server again
            $("#<%=bidId.ClientID %>").val(sValue);
        }

        function selectItem(li) {
            findValue(li);
        }

        function formatItem(row) {
            return row[0];
        }

        function lookupBidId() {
            var oSuggest = $("#policyNumber")[0].autocompleter;

            oSuggest.findValue();

            return false;
        }

        jQuery(function($) {
            //attach autocomplete to bidNumber text box
            $("#policyNumber").autocomplete("ws://../WebServices/
BidSearch.asmx/GetQuickBidSearchResults", {
                delay: 10,
                minChars: 6,
                matchSubset: 1,
                matchContains: 1,
                cacheLength: 10,
                onItemSelect: selectItem,
                onFindValue: findValue,
                formatItem: formatItem,
                selectFirst: true,
                selectOnly: true,
                maxItemsToShow: 25
            });


            $.validator.addMethod("bidFound",
                                   function(value) {
                                       debugger;
                                       return $("#<%=bidId.ClientID
%>").val() != "";
                                   },
                                   "Invalid policy number.");

            //do not validate on each key up
            $("#policyNumber").validate({onkeyup:false});

            // validate form on  submit
            $("#aspnetForm").validate(
            {
                valgroups : {
                    search : { buttons : [ '<%= bidDetail.ClientID
%>' ], fields : [ "policyNumber" ] }
                },
                rules:
                {
                    policyNumber:
                    {
                        required: true,
                        bidFound: true
                    }
                },
                messages: {
                    policyNumber: {
                        required: " Please enter policy number in
format {bid number}-{client number}-{option number}"
                    }
                }
            });
        });

    </script>
