jQuery UI autocomplete doesn't work on deployed application but works on localhost

I have one problem that I can't understand. I've built many web applications under jQuery UI and with jQuery UI Autocomplete plugin
$("#autocompleteObchod").autocomplete({
source: function( request, response ) {
console.log('ok');
$.ajax({
url: "/eshops/default/search",
dataType: "json",
data: {
q: request.term
},
success: function( data ) {
response($.map(data, function (item) {
return {
label: item.name,
value: item.name,
id: item.uuid
};
}));
}
} );
},
minLength: 2,
select: function( event, ui ) {
$('#form-eshopId').val(ui.item.id);
}
} );
This code works on my localhost.
But when I deploy my application via Dokku (heroku), autocomplete wont work. Nothing. No event triggered, no error in console, no error with javascript. Nothing. Do you guys had similar problem ? I'm out of energy with this.
If you want to check my application check http://dev.dobravec.info/organizations/
And try search something at first inline search component.

You have something wrong with you jquery ui version.
First of all I tried to debug the code of your autocomplete code version. It never fires out because it never receives arguments from you. For script your call is like calling autocomplete({}) - does nothing.
What the hell I thought - somebody broke autocomplete?
I went to jquery ui cdn, copied autocomplete function and pasted it to console. And initialized autocomplete on your input again. And it works fine.
So I dont know why, I dont know who - but somebody has edited your version of autocomplete. Get the new one and enjoy.
Try for yourself:
First ctrl+v jquery ui autocomplete function to console:

I can not populate JQuery Autocomplete input with a json request to cakephp

I am using JQuery autocomplete to send a json request to my cakephp application, the javascript code is from http://jqueryui.com/autocomplete/
$(function() {
function split( val ) {
return val.split( /,\s*/ );
}
function extractLast( term ) {
return split( term ).pop();
}
$( "#tag-string" )
// don't navigate away from the field on tab when selecting an item
.bind( "keydown", function( event ) {
if ( event.keyCode === $.ui.keyCode.TAB &&
$( this ).autocomplete( "instance" ).menu.active ) {
event.preventDefault();
}
})
.autocomplete({
source:function(request, response){
$.getJSON("/articles/getTags/" + request.term + ".json", {
term : extractLast(request.term)
}, response);
},
search: function() {
// custom minLength
var term = extractLast( this.value );
if ( term.length < 1 ) {
return false;
}
},
focus: function() {
// prevent value inserted on focus
return false;
},
select: function( event, ui ) {
var terms = split( this.value );
// remove the current input
terms.pop();
// add the selected item
terms.push( ui.item.value );
// add placeholder to get the comma-and-space at the end
terms.push( "" );
this.value = terms.join( ", " );
return false;
}
});
});(jQuery);
if i run the XMLHttpRequests on the chrome js console (where "c" is the term to search for)
$.getJSON("/articles/getTags/c.json")
i get this response text:
responseText: "{↵ "tags": [↵ {↵ "tag": "Calles"↵ },↵ {↵ "tag": "Circulacion"↵ },↵ {↵ "tag": "cognicion"↵ },↵ {↵ "tag": "Creatividad"↵ }↵ ]↵}"
but the input field does not populate with this values.
This is what i get (i've uploaded an image because is the easiest way to explaint it) on the "Tag String" input field

finally solved.
the json response send to jquery autocomplete must be formated with "value" and "label".
var ac = [
{
label: "One Thing",
value: "One-Thing"
},
{
label: "Two Thing",
value: "Two-Thing"
},
]

JQuery run automatically when autocomplete textbox selected

I'm using AJAX to called data from another page then return it to a textbox. The trigger is came from a dropdown with autocomplete feature (You can see in here)
My AJAX is can work normally if I try it manually, but when I try to run this function when the autocomplete selected, it doesn't works.
Here's my AJAX code:
function getKonsumen()
{
var selname = $("select[name=konsumen]").val();
$.ajax({ url: "getData.php",
data: {"selname":selname},
type: 'post',
dataType: "json",
success: function(output) {
console.log(output);
$("#namak").val(output[2]);
$("#ktpk").val(output[3]);
$("#emailk").val(output[4]);
$("#hpk").val(output[5]);
$("#alamatk").val(output[6]);
$("#kotak").val(output[7]);
$("#datepicker3").val(output[8]);
}
});
}
And here's my HTML for dropdown:
<div class="form-group">
<label>Customer</label>
<div class="radio">
<label><input type="radio" name="kons" value="" checked="checked" />Dari Daftar</label>
<label style="padding-left: 50px; vertical-align:top;"><input type="radio" class="radioBtn" name="kons" value="baru" />Baru</label>
</div>
<select name="konsumen" id="combobox" class="konsumens">
<option value="">Please Choose</option>
<option value="baru">Create New</option>
<?php
$querycon = mysqli_query($conn, "SELECT * FROM m_customer WHERE customer_status='1'");
while($rowcon = mysqli_fetch_array($querycon, MYSQLI_ASSOC))
{
$nik = sprintf("%s%"."04d", $rowcon['customer_no'], $rowcon['customer_id']);
?>
//get customer list from DB
<option value="<?php echo $rowcon['customer_id']; ?>" onClick="getkons();"><?php echo $nik. ' | ' .$rowcon['customer_name']; ?></option>
<?php
}
?>
</select>
</div>

this._delay(function() {
this.input.tooltip( "close" ).attr( "title", "" );
}, 2500 );
this.input.autocomplete( "instance" ).term = "";
},
_destroy: function() {
this.wrapper.remove();
this.element.show();
}
});
})( jQuery );
$(function() {
$( "#combobox" ).combobox();
});
So, anyone can help me to make my ajax run when the autocomplete selected?

$('#combobox').change(function() {
//Do whatever you want
});
This will trigger any time someone changes the value of the autocomplete select box

Finally I found answer to my problem, here's my solution, find : ui.item.option.selected = true; then I add this line of code to call the function when autocomplete clicked : ui.item.option.onclick = getKonsumen();
it's all done....

jQuery ui close on mouse click / escape

Hi all I am using jQuery ui autocomplete and all works well except once activated and the drop down list appears, if the user hits "escape" or clicks away the list remains open.
Is there a setting I have missed. The code is below. Many thanks!
/*** Set up multiselect drop down lists ***/

Comment out input.blur(); inside of _createShowAllButton.
_createShowAllButton: function() {
var input = this.input,

// Close if already visible
