Hi all. I have a problem with the jquery autocomplete ui. When i type something in the autocomplete textbox i load data into a table. When the user selects an option from the autocomplete list the data in the table should change, however this is only working when i use the keyboard to select an option not when i click on the option with the mouse. I have read some articles on the problem but can't understand them as i am a beginner when it comes to jquery. Any help will be much appreciated, thanking you in advance.

$(function () {

                    $("#tags").autocomplete({
                        source: returned_arr
                    });
                });

@Ruwaldo could you put the articles urls which you have read but unable to understand ?

I have looked at a few, and these seem the most simple(link1 link2). I tried using both of them but couldn't get it to work. I am a novice when it comes to jquery.

Got the answer to the question from a friend. Just use a timer to execute the function you want to execute when you select an option from the auto-select.

$(".ui-autocomplete").attr("onmouseup", 'setTimeout(function(){load_engagements(current_sort,current_is_asc)},200);');
