jqueryUI autocomplete example.js

$.ui.autocomplete, {
  _renderMenu: function( ul, items ) {
    // use this to manipulate the entire array of results
    // if you overwrite this method, make sure to call _renderItem for each item
    // or else the individual items will not render, only the menu will render
    // example below.
    var self = this;
    $.each(items, function(index, item){
      self._renderItem(ul, item);
    }
  },
  _renderItem: function(ul, item){
    // use this to specify how your autocomplete results are rendered
    // example below.  note you need to use the data method
    // otherwise the object's attributes will not be sent with the object when it is rendered.
    return $( "<li></li>" )
	                .data( "item.autocomplete", item )
