Autocomplete is a JQuery UI widget which enables users to quickly find and select from a pre-populated list of values as they type, leveraging searching and filtering.
This can be used on the client side to get list data from the server. In this example we use the Client Server API to call a client accessible function on the server to filter a list of names from a database table, e.g:
var names = $eb.executeFunction("getFilteredNames", request.term);
The called function builds the SQL query and returns filtered names from the database table. The user is shown a hello message upon selecting a name.
