I’ve been using the JQuery Autocomplete plugin with JQuery version 1.3.2, and it has been working great. I recently updated JQuery in my project to version 1.4.2, and the Autocomplete plugin is now broken. The JQuery code to add items to a textbox on my web page doesn’t seem to be getting called at all. Does anyone know if the JQuery Autocomplete plugin is incompatible with JQuery version 1.4.2, and if there is a fix for this problem? Here is some sample code I’ve built in an ASP.Net web site (which works fine if I change the JQuery file to jquery-1.3.2.js, but nothing happens using jquery-1.4.2.js):

    It turned out that the Autocomplete plugin is compatible with JQuery ver 1.4.1 and 1.4.2. The problem was caused by my JQuery selector: $(‘:input:text:id$=sapleUser’), which appears not to be compatible with the 1.4.x versions of JQuery. I modified the selector to: $(‘input[id$=sapleUser]’), and it is now working again.
