jquery not working after postback

It seems that after a partial postback occured from an update panel jquery events does not work as expected. This can be solved by usin pageLoad() instead of $(document).ready() as shown in the following link http://encosia.com/2009/03/25/document-ready-and-pageload-are-not-the-same/

format Jquery autocomplete result set

If you want to customize the appearance of the jQuery autocomplete suggestion result set, you have to replace the _renderItem function with your own creation that produces the desired result. The function definition will be as follows.

 $(function () {

 $.ui.autocomplete.prototype._renderItem = function (ul, item) {
            item.label = item.label.replace(new RegExp("(?![^&;]+;)(?!<[^<>]*)(" + $.ui.autocomplete.escapeRegex(this.term) + ")(?![^<>]*>)(?![^&;]+;)", "gi"), "$1");
            return $("

")
                    .data("item.autocomplete", item)
                    .append("" + item.label + "")
                    .appendTo(ul);
        };

//attach your autocomplete to the textbox. See my previous post http://ssenarath.blogspot.com/2014/06/jquery-autocomplete-suggest-size-is.html
$("#ContentPlaceHolder1_txtDesignation").autocomplete({
 ...
});

});

Jquery Autocomplete suggest size is displayed larger than the textbox

When you use Jquery to make an autocomplete, IE displays the width of the suggest window lager than the input box.To make the suggestion window smaller you can apply code as shown below.

 $(function () {

 $("#txtSearch").autocomplete({
            source: function (request, response) {
                $.ajax({

                    contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
                    dataType: 'JSON',
                    url: '../SearchEmployee.asmx/GetEmployeeSuggestionList',
                    type: "POST",
                    data: '{empCode: "' + request.term + '"}',
                    dataType: "json",

                    success: function (data) {
                        response($.map(data.d, function (item) {
                            return {
                                label: item,
                                value: item
                            }
                        }))
                    }
                });

            }            minLength: 1,
            open: function(event, ui)
            {
                $("#ctl00_cphMobileMainContent_txtSearch").autocomplete("widget").css("width", "300px"); 
            }       
 });
});
