We'll specify the array of objects as the source of the Autocomplete widget, and we'll also specify a callback function to be called when an item is selected: $("#divAutocomplete").autocomplete({ source: data, select: function (event, ui) { $("#ddlAutocomplete option[value='" + ui.item.value + "']").attr("selected", "selected"); } }); In the select callback function, we get the value of the item that was selected, and then we set the corresponding option in the Select element to be selected. 3.
