copied!<p>I have not been able to get formatMatch and formatResult to work so far. I am still working on the 'correct' way to use them. However, as a workaround you can use the parse option as follows. Just to be clear, in this example, formatItem and parse are functional while formatResult and formatMatch are not functional.</p> <pre><code>jQuery(function(){ $('#profile-tabs_addresses_grid_b_a_PostalCode').autocomplete ('http://test.mydomain.com/locality/postalcodes/', { minChars:1, delay:400, cacheLength:100, matchContains:true, max:10, formatItem:function(item, index, total, query){ return item.PostalCode + ': ' + item.Region + ', ' + item.City + ', ' + item.Country; }, formatMatch:function(item){ return item.PostalCode; }, formatResult:function(item){ return item.PostalCode; }, dataType:'json', parse:function(data) { return $.map(data, function(item) { return { data: item, value: item.PostalCode, result: item.PostalCode } }); }}); }); </code></pre> <p>here is the json data that comes back from the data url ( whitespace added for easier viewing ):</p> <pre><code>[ {City:"St. Louis", Country:"USA", PostalCode:"63103", ID:3, Region:"Missouri"}, {City:"St. Louis", Country:"USA", PostalCode:"63109", ID:1, Region:"Missouri"}, {City:"St. Louis", Country:"USA", PostalCode:"63119", ID:2, Region:"Missouri"} ] </code></pre> <p>When I type a 6 in the postal code box, it shows all three options properly formatted as:</p> <pre><code>63103: Missouri, St. Louis, USA 63109: Missouri, St. Louis, USA 63119: Missouri, St. Louis, USA </code></pre> <p>and when I select one the textbox receives just the selected postal code.</p>
