Autocomplete combobox is not working in IE if value and name is different

[guoicq]

The combobox is not working in IE8 if the value is different with the name displayed in the dropdown.

How to re-produce:

1. Use the following dropdown below:

<select id="user">

<option value="">--</option> <option value="1">Eric</option> <option value="7">Tom</option>

</select>

The value (user id) above is different with the name (user name).

2. The other part is the same as in the page

 http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/#combobox

3. Open IE, type "T" in the textbox, the autocomplete will display, select "Tom" by click on it. The textbox will display "Tom".

4. Move focus to some other place so textbox lost focus.

The textbox will become blank! and the underline dropdown item 7 was not selected.

5. The bug can be fixed by change the matching

if ( this.value.match( matcher ) ) { to if ( this.innerHTML.match( matcher ) ) {

Autocomplete: Use the text of the option, not the value when checking for valid values. Fixes #6673 - Autocomplete combobox is not working in IE if value and name is different.
