How to use array in autocomplete textbox jquery?

Question

For Example

<link rel="stylesheet" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.4/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css">
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
<script src="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.4/jquery-ui.js"></script>

<script>
    $(function() { 
        var availableTags = [ "ActionScript", "AppleScript", "Asp"];
        var availableTagsCode = ["1", "2", "3"]; 
        $( "#tags" ).autocomplete({ source: availableTags });
    });

$("#tags_code").val(availableTagsCode); 

I need to select suggestion test if i will select 0 th array from tag the 0 th code should assign to name="code" textbox.

Set select event handler

 $(function() { var availableTags = ["ActionScript", "AppleScript", "Asp"]; var availableTagsCode = ["1", "2", "3"]; $("#tags").autocomplete({ source: availableTags, select: function(e, ui) { $('#tags_code').val(availableTagsCode[availableTags.indexOf(ui.item.value)]); } }); }); 

 <link rel="stylesheet" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.4/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css"> <script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> <script src="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.4/jquery-ui.js"></script> <input id="tags" name="name"> <input id="tags_code" name="code">

You can define a select event handler:

$( "#tags" ).autocomplete({ 
    source: availableTags,
    select: function(event, ui) {
        var index = availableTags.indexOf(ui.item.value);
        $("#tags_code").val(availableTagsCode[index]);  
    }
});

Here is the working JSFiddle demo .

Actually, jQuery UI allows you to use an array of objects with value and label properties when you provide source .
So, something like this will work and look better:

var tags = [
    {"label": "ActionScript", "value": 1},
    {"label": "AppleScript", "value": 2},
    {"label": "Asp", "value": 3}
];

$( "#tags" ).autocomplete({ 
    source: tags,
    select: function (event, ui) {
        $("#tags_code").val(ui.item.value);  
    }
});

JSFiddle demo for the second approach .

If you don't want the value to be replaced after choosing, you can use custom property instead of value :

var tags = [
    {"label": "ActionScript", "code": 1},
    {"label": "AppleScript", "code": 2},
    {"label": "Asp", "code": 3}
];

$( "#tags" ).autocomplete({ 
    source: tags,
    select: function (event, ui) {
        $("#tags_code").val(ui.item.code);  
    }
});

<script type="text/javascript">  
    $(document).ready(function () {
        $("#textBoxID").autocomplete({
            source: function (request, responce) {
