You should actually be attaching the autocomplete behaviour to your text box. That said, the autocomplete version included in the jQuery library isn't totally straightforward if you ask me. <pre><code>$("input#user").autocomplete({ source: function (request, response) { // define a function to call your Action (assuming UserController) $.ajax({ url: '/user/GetUsers', type: "POST", dataType: "json", // query will be the param used by your action method data: { query: request.term }, success: function (data) { response($.map(data, function (item) { return { label: item, value: item }; })) } }) }, minLength: 1, // require at least one character from the user }); </code></pre> In your controller, define the following Action <pre><code>public ActionResult GetUsers(string query) { var users = (from u in User.LoadSortedByName() where u.Name.StartsWith(query) orderby u.Name // optional but it'll look nicer select u.Name).Distinct().ToArray(); return Json(users); } </code></pre> This implementation will not allow multiple values on your textbox; for examples on how to do that check the <a href="http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">jQuery autocomplete examples</a> UPDATE based on final resolution Make sure you have a reference to the jQuery UI Core. From the Microsoft CDN: <pre><code><script src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.ui/1.8.11/jquery-ui.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>` </code></pre> From the Google CDN: <pre><code><script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.11/jquery-ui.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> </code></pre> Or download it yourself from the <a href="http://jqueryui.com/download" rel="nofollow noreferrer">official jQuery UI Page</a>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
