The user can then select an item from the list, which will be displayed in the input field. This feature prevents the user from having to enter an entire word.
jQueryUI provides an autocomplete widget—a control that acts a lot like a <select> dropdown, but filters the choices to present only those that match what the user is typing into a control. jQueryUI provides the autocomplete() method to create a list of suggestions below the input field and adds new CSS classes to the elements concerned to give them the appropriate styleSyntax
