Make an input field autocomplete using jQuery

[Abhijeet]

I need to make an input field autocomplete using LookUp created in django. This field is not created using django form (bcoz of some requirements ) so i can not use 'AutoCompleteSelectField'.

What is the best way to make an input field autocomplete using jQuery/javascript ? 

I tries this 

function activateSelectableInput(lookup_url){

    var input_field = $("#MyInputField");

    input_field.addClass("autocompletewidget ui-autocomplete-input ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-corner-all ui-state-error");

    input_field.attr("data-selectable-url", lookup_url);

    input_field.attr("data-selectable-type","text");

    input_field.attr('data-selectable-allow-new','false');

    window.bindSelectables("body");

}

It lets me lookup and select value but does not raise any event

Your method looks fine. Adding the classes is not needed because that will be done by jQuery UI/selectable on bind. You also don't need to call bindSelectable on the entire body. You can just call it on the new element.

What events are you listening for? I don't see any of that in this example.
