Problem using jquery ui combobox

Solution 1
The answer is quite simple. This worked for me.
$( ".selector" ).autocomplete({
select: function(event, ui) { ... }
});
Solution 2
Insert between <head>
and </head>
tags:
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-ui-combobox.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$('selector').combobox();
$('selector').change(function(){ ... });
</script>
Code "jquery-ui-combobox.js":
$.widget( "ui.combobox", {
_create: function() {
var self = this,
select = this.element.hide(),
selected = select.children( ":selected" ),
value = selected.val() ? selected.text() : "";
var input = this.input = $( "<input />" )
.insertAfter( select )
.val( value )
.autocomplete({
delay: 0,
minLength: 0,
source: function( request, response ) {
var matcher = new RegExp( $.ui.autocomplete.escapeRegex(request.term), "i" );
response( select.children( "option" ).map(function() {
var text = $( this ).text();
if ( this.value && ( !request.term || matcher.test(text) ) )
return {
label: text.replace(
new RegExp(
"(?![^&;]+;)(?!<[^<>]*)(" +$.ui.autocomplete.escapeRegex(request.term) +")(?![^<>]*>)(?![^&;]+;)",
"gi"
),
"<strong>$1</strong>"
),
value: text,
option: this
};
}) );
},
select: function( event, ui ) {
ui.item.option.selected = true;
self._trigger( "selected", event, {
item: ui.item.option
});
$(select).change(); //Change COMBOBOX
},
change: function( event, ui ) {
if ( !ui.item ) {
var matcher = new RegExp( "^" + $.ui.autocomplete.escapeRegex( $(this).val() ) + "$", "i" ), valid = false;
select.children( "option" ).each(function() {
if ( $( this ).text().match( matcher ) ) {
this.selected = valid = true;
return false;
}
});
if ( !valid ) {
// remove invalid value, as it didn't match anything
$( this ).val( "" );
select.val( "" );
input.data( "autocomplete" ).term = "";
return false;
}
}
}
})
.addClass( "ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-corner-left" )
.css('margin', '0')
.css('padding', '0.48em 0 0.47em 0.45em');
input.data( "autocomplete" )._renderItem = function( ul, item ) {
return $( "<li></li>" )
.data( "item.autocomplete", item )
.append( "<a>" + item.label + "</a>" )
.appendTo( ul )
.css('cursor', 'pointer');
};
this.button = $( "<button> </button>" )
.attr( "tabIndex", -1 )
.attr( "title", "Show All Items" )
.insertAfter( input )
.button({
icons: {
primary: "ui-icon-triangle-1-s"
},
text: false
})
.removeClass( "ui-corner-all" )
.addClass( "ui-corner-right ui-button-icon" )
.css('margin-left','-1')
.css('padding','0.15em')
.click(function() {
// close if already visible
if ( input.autocomplete( "widget" ).is( ":visible" ) ) {
input.autocomplete( "close" );
return;
}
// pass empty string as value to search for, displaying all results
input.autocomplete( "search", "" );
input.focus();
$(select).click(); //Click COMBOBOX
});
},
destroy: function() {
this.input.remove();
this.button.remove();
this.element.show();
$.Widget.prototype.destroy.call( this );
}
});

I have a jquery combobox. When user selects an product it redirects user to product info page. Unfortunately it does not work as expected. I used a normal select it works great.
(function( $ ) { $.widget( "ui.combobox", { _create: function() { var self = this, select = this.element.hide(), selected = select.children( ":selected" ), value = selected.val() ? selected.text() : ""; var input = $( "<input>" ) .insertAfter( select ) .val( value ) .autocomplete({ delay: 0, minLength: 0, source: function( request, response ) { var matcher = new RegExp( $.ui.autocomplete.escapeRegex(request.term), "i" ); response( select.children( "option" ).map(function() { var text = $( this ).text(); if ( this.value && ( !request.term || matcher.test(text) ) ) return { label: text.replace( new RegExp( "(?![^&;]+;)(?!<[^<>]*)(" + $.ui.autocomplete.escapeRegex(request.term) + ")(?![^<>]*>)(?![^&;]+;)", "gi" ), "<strong>$1</strong>" ), value: text, option: this }; }) ); }, select: function( event, ui ) { ui.item.option.selected = true; self._trigger( "selected", event, { item: ui.item.option }); }, change: function( event, ui ) { if ( !ui.item ) { var matcher = new RegExp( "^" + $.ui.autocomplete.escapeRegex( $(this).val() ) + "$", "i" ), valid = false; select.children( "option" ).each(function() { if ( this.value.match( matcher ) ) { this.selected = valid = true; return false; } }); if ( !valid ) { // remove invalid value, as it didn't match anything $( this ).val( "" ); select.val( "" ); return false; } } } }) .addClass( "ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-corner-left" ); input.data( "autocomplete" )._renderItem = function( ul, item ) { return $( "<li></li>" ) .data( "item.autocomplete", item ) .append( "<a>" + item.label + "</a>" ) .appendTo( ul ); }; $( "<button> </button>" ) .attr( "tabIndex", -1 ) .attr( "title", "Show All Items" ) .insertAfter( input ) .button({ icons: { primary: "ui-icon-triangle-1-s" }, text: false }) .removeClass( "ui-corner-all" ) .addClass( "ui-corner-right ui-button-icon" ) .click(function() { // close if already visible if ( input.autocomplete( "widget" ).is( ":visible" ) ) { input.autocomplete( "close" ); return; } // pass empty string as value to search for, displaying all results input.autocomplete( "search", "" ); input.focus(); }); } }); })( jQuery ); $(function() { $( "#combobox" ).combobox(); }); </script>
I have using change event, it does not work.
$(document).ready(function() { $("#combobox").change(function() { location.href = $(this).val(); }); });
I appreciate any help.
