Hi,

I am implementing autocomplete functionality on custom vf page. I have called the controller on the page which conitain the method which return the contact details using SOQL query. Now below is the code which I am using for auto complete. Employee is the custom object which store the employee information.
********obelow is not working*************
 <apex:inputText value="{!Employee.Name}" id="memNam">
                                <c:autoComplete autocomplete_textbox="{!$Component.memNam}" objectname="Contact" />
                                <apex:actionSupport id="actionSupport_1_15_2" event="onchange" reRender="panelGrid_1_24,panelGrid_1_25,panelGrid_2" action="{!populateEmployeeDetails}"/>
                            </apex:inputText>
***********************************************
Now I want to populate two fields(phone,email) on the vf page based on the contact selected in the autocoplete textbox. This funtionality is working fine If I took picklist(below code) inplace of autocomplete but stops If I am using autocomplete.

**********************working below code***********
                                 <apex:selectList id="selectList_1_6" value="{!Employee.Name}" size="1">
                                     <apex:selectOptions id="selectOptions_1_10" value="{!EmployeeFirstName}"/>
                                     <apex:actionSupport id="actionSupport_1_15_2" event="onchange" reRender="panelGrid_1_24,panelGrid_1_25,panelGrid_2" action="{!populateEmployeeDetails}"/>
                                    
                                 </apex:selectList>
*************************************
Please suggest how can I make this happen with autocomplete functionality, what i am missing here ?

I would really appriciate your help.
