Im really sorry for asking such a newby question but I dont know what else to do.

I try to do the following

<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./js/jquery.autocomplete.css">



  <script src="./js/jquery.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
  <script src="./js/jquery.autocomplete.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
     <script type="text/javascript">
     $(document).ready(function() {
           $("a").click(function() {

            alert('1');
            $("#producto").setOptions({max: 2}); 

            alert('2');
           });
 });
     </script>

</head>
<body >

    <a href="">Link</a>


     <input id="producto" name="producto" value="hola" />
</body></html>

It always give the same error that the object doesnt accept the method ‘setOptions’.

    First, you have to initialize autocomplete:

     $("#producto").autocomplete("", {
    width: 320,
    max: 14,
    highlight: false
    //..Some Options
});

    And then you can use .setOptions() and other methods.

    PS:
    Autocomplete Jquery Plugin Page Says:

    Its successor is part of jQuery UI:
