Question

I am going to use the jquery autocomplete plugin and i will to set the max items to display. Searching on google I found that there is the "max" option to set at the number of items that I want to show, but it do not work.

I use jquery-ui-1.8.21 version.

$("#test").autocomplete({
     source:myarray,
     max:5
});

Thanks

Where did you read that? I can’t find max in autocomplete’s documentation under “options” tab at the bottom.

Although, there’s an example how to set the maximum height for better user experience. But if you really want first n elements from that array just use slice() method from pure JavaScript.
