    <p>I am using jquery autocomplete which I am populating from a ruby on rails application and I am creating a custom autcomplete like so:</p> <pre><code> $.widget( "custom.code_complete", $.ui.autocomplete, { _renderMenu: function( ul, items ) { var self = this, currentCategory = ""; $ul = ul; $.each( items, function( index, item ) { if ( item.category != currentCategory ) { ul.append( "&lt;li class='ui-autocomplete-category'&gt;" + item.category + "&lt;/li&gt;" ); currentCategory = item.category; } self._renderItem( ul, item ); }); } }); $("#r-code").code_complete({ source: "URL", minLength: 2, select: function(event, ui) { $(".button-row").fadeIn(); get_details(ui.item.url); } }); </code></pre> <p>I am redirecting a user from another page to the page with the autocomplete form with a parameter in the URL which is a code used for the search, here is the JS to do the search:</p> <pre><code>function ac_search(code) { $("#r-code").val(code); $("#r-code").code_complete('search', code); } </code></pre> <p>This performs the search perfectly and displays the drop down list of results. I am trying to have the script then select the first result in the list. I have tried doing it via a selector:</p> <pre><code>$(".ui-menu-item:first a").click(); </code></pre> <p>This finds the correct element in the autocomplete list but when I try and simulate a click it gives this error:</p> <pre><code>TypeError: ui.item is null </code></pre> <p>Is it possible to programmatically click the first item in the autocomplete results list?</p> <p>Cheers</p> <p>Eef</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.
