Autocomplete: no-longer able to clear field value in change:

[netnak]

With version 1.8, clearing an input field after an autocomplete selection in the "change:" event worked fine.

In version 1.8.2 the field has to lose focus before the field value is cleared.

Which is the correct behaviour?

$(function(){

var tags = ["c++", "java", "php", "coldfusion", "javascript", "asp", "ruby", "python", "c", "scala", "groovy", "haskell", "perl"]; $("#selector").autocomplete({

source: tags,

select: function(e, ui) {

var selectedvalue = ui.item.value;

$("#selection").html(selectedvalue);

},

change: function() {

$("#selector").val("");

}

});

});

The current behavior is intended. You can get the previous behavior by clearing the text field and canceling the select event. In the future, if you're unsure if something is a bug, please use the ​forums.
