Getting associated data about jquery-autocomplete HOT 2 CLOSED

So upon further examination of the code, I noticed that I can set an onItemSelect hook.

But this wasn't working.

elem.focus() was causing the method to exit prematurely before the onItemSelect hook could be called.

Moving elem.focus() to the last line of the method seems to resolved. I'll make a pull request for you.

I'd also love to help out with your documentation :)

Use the onItemSelect hook, see example

When using the JSON results I'm taking the data returned from the server and processing it using a processData function to return the following:

[
   {name: 'name', data: {id: 123}},
   {name: 'name', data: {id: 234))
]

However I am flummoxed on how to get the id value when the user has selected an option.  I don't see it when I do $('#ac_input').val() or easily recognizable within the .data().autocompleter object.

Is this data available somewhere in an easily accessible location?
