how to get selected option jquery autocomplete [duplicate]

This question already has answers here: Get value in jquery autocomplete (3 answers) Closed 9 years ago.

I know there's a "select" event but is not working.

This is my code:

$("#Asignacion_Movimiento_OrdenCompra").autocomplete(
        "/Asignaciones/ObtenerOrdenesCompra",
        {
            extraParams: { Serial: function () { return $("#Asignacion_Movimiento_Material").val(); } },
            delay: 200,
            select: function (event, ui) {
                alert(this.value + " - " + ui.item.value);
                ObtenerDatosAdicionale开发者_如何学Gos();
                return true;
            }
        }
    );

I also tried adding:

result: function (event, data, formatted) {
                alert(data);
                ObtenerDatosAdicionales();
                return true;
            }

But nothing happens...

How can I get the value of the selected item by the user?

Thx.

You are looking for the result. See here for documentation.

Like so:

$("#Asignacion_Movimiento_OrdenCompra").autocomplete({
 /* your options here*/
}).result(function(event, data, formatted) { // result is a separate function
    alert(data);
});

I know this thread is a bit old, but at http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=324203.0 I found a working example for select:

select: function(event, ui) {
var selectedObj = ui.item;
alert(selectedObj.value); }

Get the selected option value from the jquery Autocomplete

$("#tags").autocomplete({
source: availableTags,
select: function(event, ui) {
         //For better understanding kindly alert the below commented code
         alert(ui.toSource()); 
         var selectedObj = ui.item;
         alert(selectedObj.value);
    }
});

Done!

I added the following to my $(document).ready function:

$('#autocompleteField').result(function (event, data, formatted) {
        alert(data);
});

Thank you!
