JQuery Autocomplete submitting the data while press return

Question

hello I'm using JQuery Autocomplete (bassistance) and have run into a problem. if i select by pressing ENTER(Return key) it just displayed in the text box and i need to press one more enter to search (submit the form) is there is any way to make the form submit on single select....

Try using the result function to submit the form once you have selected a value.

 $('#textbox').autocomplete( ...your data and options... )
              .result( function(e,data,formatted) {
                   $('#textbox').value( formatted );
                   $('form').submit();
               });

I don't recall off the top of my head, but I think that the result handler will be called instead of the default action of filling the input so I think you'll need to stuff the value in the input before submitting as I've shown.
