Description

the code example for https://api.jqueryui.com/autocomplete/#method-_renderItem

shows

_renderItem: function( ul, item ) {
  return $( "<li>" )
    .attr( "data-value", item.value )
    .append( item.label )
    .appendTo( ul );
}

but the item won't select because the item is not wrapped in an anchor tag.


_renderItem: function( ul, item ) {
  return $( "<li>" )
    .attr( "data-value", item.value )
    .append("<a>" +  item.label + "</a>" )
    .appendTo( ul );
}

would work.

That documentation is for jQuery UI 1.12, which does not use anchors. Anchors have not been needed since 1.10. See http://jqueryui.com/upgrade-guide/1.11/#remove-the-requirement-to-use-anchors-in-menu-items
