i’ve included the jquery ui automcomplete plugin into the following structure:<\/p>\n
\n<\/pre>\n
my javascript for this input field looks like:<\/code><\/p>\n\n\nfunction addSearchFieldFunctionality() {\n\nvar availableTags = [\n \"ActionScript\",\n \"AppleScript\",\n \"Asp\",\n \"BASIC\",\n \"C\",\n \"C++\",\n \"Clojure\",\n \"COBOL\",\n \"ColdFusion\",\n \"Erlang\",\n \"Fortran\",\n \"Groovy\",\n \"Haskell\",\n \"Java\",\n \"JavaScript\",\n \"Lisp\",\n \"Perl\",\n \"PHP\",\n \"Python\",\n \"Ruby\",\n \"Scala\",\n \"Scheme\"\n ]; \n$('.searchfield').each(function () {\n $(this).autocomplete({\n source: availableTags,\n minLength: 1\n\n\n }).data(\"autocomplete\")._renderItem = function(ul, item) {\n \/\/console.log(item);\n var a = $('', {\n href: item.value,\n text: item.label,\n \"class\" : \"mySearchClass\" \n\n });\n var b = $('', {\n href: item.value,\n text: \"Add\", style: \"float:right\"});\n\n\n var $li = $('<\/code><\/code><\/pre>\n', {style:\"width:100%\"});\n return $li.add(a).appendTo(ul);\n };\n});\n}\n \n<\/pre>\n
I'm loading that function on document ready. for some reason, if a start typing e.g. the first three letters of a item, i get a resultlist. as soon as i push the keydown push button on the keyword, i get the following error in the chrome (latest version) console:<\/code><\/p>\nUncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'top' of null\na.widget.activate jquery-ui.min.js:12\na.widget.move jquery-ui.min.js:12\na.widget.next jquery-ui.min.js:12\na.widget._move jquery-ui.min.js:12\na.widget._create.element.addClass.attr.attr.bind.bind.d jquery-ui.min.js:12\nf.event.dispatch jquery-1.7.1.min.js:3\nf.event.add.h.handle.i\n<\/code><\/code><\/pre>\ni’m using version 1.7.1 of jQuery and Version 1.8.12 of jquery UI<\/p>\n
On the demo page of jquery ui autocomplete the keydown works well.<\/p>\n
Any ideas what’s going wrong with my constellation?<\/p>\n
It doesn’t make a difference to use remote or local data.<\/p>\n
Best regards, Ramo<\/p>\n

I really can make your code working. So I tried to rewrote it in a more simplier way. The problem is render functions only accept strings, not html element. So I add a listener to render the list after its generation (fired on keydown() event).<\/p>\n
My thought is you are doing it the wrong way.<\/p>\n
\n
- why adding another class on those items ? they have already one, so they can be styled.<\/li>\n
- why transforming them into a nodes ? just add a click() event on them<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Could you explain your functional goal ?<\/p>\n
