I am using the jQuery autocomplete plugin (http://bassistance.de/ jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-autocomplete) it works fine and has me made a happier person as a whole.
I am using the plugin in "remote-mode" meaning that I fetch a seperated list from my server. The problem now is that this server uses basic authentication and whenever I start typing I get prompted for the username and password, which is quite annoying. The jQuery Form Plugin for example allows to send username and password for authentication, which are in fact plain $.ajax parameters. Is such a method possible for the autocomplete plugin as well or how could I possibly work around this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
