Hello, @vahidhiv. I appreciate the kind words.

I did not create this plugin. It was created by Jörn Zaefferer. It has since been deprecated in favor of jQuery UI’s Autocomplete. Many years ago, I needed to use features on this deprecated plugin that weren’t easy to do with the new version linked above, so I forked it and added some features to it to fit my needs. However, I haven’t used or maintained it in years, so it’s probably better to use something else.

For your own sake, I strongly suggest you use the more up to date jQuery UI Autocomplete.

Having said all of the above, I don’t see why you couldn’t bind an event handler on the input separately. Like so:

$('#inputID').on('click', someFunction);

Perhaps I’m misunderstanding your request, though.

$('element').result(function(event, data, formatted) {
});

I solved my problem this way, thank you for your attention.
