Question

I am having trouble finding where jquery is setting the value of autocomplete. I know that it uses a combobox in the background to control what is searchable for the autocomplete. I have been messing with the ui.item and have not had any luck. The only way I can think of doing this is by creating an array and saving the data off to that when somethings changed. I would think that jquery has to be setting the value per box somewhere but I can not find it in the html. You can see what I am dealing with at practiscore test. In the end what I am wanting to get is a way to save the current values off to database so I can save the state.

I am using the jquery autocomplete code from the jquery website found here.

In the combobox approach, selecting an item updates the selection in the hidden select element.

You can get the values like this:

$('select[name=squad1]').val()
