    <p>I've been trying to put the pieces together on this for a while and am having trouble.</p> <p>The components:</p> <ul> <li>ASP.NET web application</li> <li>MS SQL database and tables</li> <li>C# class with get and set for all table columns</li> <li>jquery and jquery UI libraries</li> </ul> <p>The scenario:</p> <ul> <li>I have a textbox that I'd like to have autocompleted.</li> <li>Once the textbox is populated, the user clicks "Add" (Ideally, I need to return the ID of the item but I'm just trying to get it to work)</li> </ul> <p>What I'm not sure about is how the data populated. The jquery documentation says I should have a source URL. The following works fine.</p> <pre><code>&lt;script&gt; $(function () { var availableTags = [ "ActionScript", "AppleScript", ..... ..... "Ruby", "Scala", "Scheme" ]; $("#autoComplete").autocomplete({ source: availableTags }); }); &lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p></p> <p>But when I replace the array with with an external source it doesn't work:</p> <pre><code>&lt;script&gt; $(function () { $("#autoComplete").autocomplete({ source: "http://localhost:61639/ProjectName/AutoCompleteContent.htm" }); }); &lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>And this is the HTML for AutoCompleteContent.htm</p> <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE&gt; &lt;html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;title&gt;&lt;/title&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; [ "ActionScript", "AppleScript", ..... ..... "Ruby", "Scala", "Scheme" ] &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>Here is my problem:</p> <ol> <li>I'm not sure what the data should look like on the page.</li> <li>I surely don't know how to display my DB data in a valid format for autocomplete to accept it.</li> </ol> <p>I think I'm going down the right path, but not sure. Could someone spell out the steps?</p> <p>I'm very appreciative!</p>

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.
