Question

I am using an autocomplete Javascript function, and I need to extract the last 5 characters from ‘value’ and then compose URL for onSelect.

The function I am using is:

<script type="text/javascript">
    var options, a;
    jQuery(function(){
      var onAutocompleteSelect = function(value, data) {
          window.open('ITEM.PRO?id='+ value);
        }

      options = { 
      serviceUrl:'JQUERY-SEARCH.pro',
      onSelect: onAutocompleteSelect,
       };
      a = $('#query').autocomplete(options);

    });
    </script>

When I click on search result it loads “ITEM.PRO?id=Article Brand Model Year Description 35612”, but I need load “ITEM.PRO?id=35612”

Please could you help me? I am a totally newbie with JS.
Thank you all in advance!

Try this

var onAutocompleteSelect = function(value, data) {
          window.open('ITEM.PRO?id='+ value.substring(value.length-5));
        }
