JQuery Auto Suggest Serverside

Question

Coming up with a server side JQuery plug-in is proving to be a bit brutal. I have looked around for one but they work off static information. Does anyone have a good free server-side Auto suggest for JQuery?

Do you mean you want a client-side JQuery autocomplete control that queries a server-side database for the data? If so, this tutorial covers exactly that, with a live demo here.

Take a look at these:

Example:

$('#autocomplete').autocomplete("myWebService.ashx");

You would then create the myWebService.ashx that your jQuery would call to get the data from, typically in JSON format...

Take a look at this question here on StackOverflow.

Autocomplete is now built into jQuery UI:

There's also an autocomplete jQuery plug-in by Drew Wilson that's lightweight but has some really nice additional features compared to the jQuery UI one.

Might be of interest.

I have no affiliation with Drew.
