Fairly new to jQuery, trying to use Autocomplete. Went to http://jqueryui.com/download to build my own download, selected "Autocomplete" from the "Widgets" section. This caused "Core", "Widget", and "Position" to auto-check.

I downloaded my custom jQuery UI, and followed the instructions and included the following in my page.

<link type="text/css" href="css/custom-theme/jquery-ui-1.8.7.custom.css" rel="stylesheet" />    
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.4.4.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-ui-1.8.7.custom.min.js"></script>

But, Autocomplete would not function, and firebug revealed no errors. I decided to include:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://dev.jquery.com/view/trunk/plugins/autocomplete/jquery.autocomplete.css" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://dev.jquery.com/view/trunk/plugins/autocomplete/lib/jquery.bgiframe.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://dev.jquery.com/view/trunk/plugins/autocomplete/jquery.autocomplete.js"></script>

And everything started working! But I am confused, I thought the jQuery builder would have included all necessary code and styling for Autocomplete to function correctly, so why have I needed to add these extra includes to get it working? Thanks

It appears you are using the autocomplete plugin, rather than the one from jQuery UI

See this question for the difference.
