Description
Formatting the autocomplete dropdown list using HTML no longer works in version 1.8.4. This worked in version 1.8.2. It now shows the actual html elements in the list instead of the formatted output. Below is the code change that looks like what caused this problem.
1.8.2
return e("<li></li>").data("item.autocomplete",
c).append("<a>"+c.label+"</a>").appendTo(a)
1.8.4
return e("<li></li>").data("item.autocomplete",b).append(e("<a></a>").text(b.label)).appendTo(a)
It looks like the list output is now being escaped.
This change is by design ( see #5275 ). As mentioned over there, "Defaulting to plaintext and defining your own render method for HTML and other complex displays makes sense."
An extension can provide a custom _renderItem, such as http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/custom-data.html so no change to the default is required.
