jQuery autoselect
Today I wanted to use the jQuery autoselect feature to add an autoselect to an input field on a web page. I have heard alot about jQuery but until yesterday I really hadn't done anything with it. (how horrible is that) Yesterday I used it for the simple task of updating a text field with the value of a select dropdown field. Simple, this is all it took:
$("#jid").change(function(){
$("#city").val($("#jid option:selected").text());
});
Where jid is the select dropdown and city is the text input I wanted the text from the dropdown to be copied to.
The autocomplete was a little more complicated, but not much. I use the following as the basis for this project and pretty much just copied it and adapted it to my site:

jQuery does make things easy. I use a cfc as in the 2nd to last example on above to return dynamic results.
