what i want is that whenever the user inputs a certain character in the textbox the letters in the autocomplete should be emphasized, let's say, highlighted or bold.

sir i already got one and it's working just fine..now my question is taht..
is it possible that the data will be coming from the database instead of it stored in
a javascript file? if so, how is it possible??

this is my code. they say also that it is possible. i've tried changing this line

$("#suggest1").focus().autocomplete(cities);

to

$("#suggest1").focus().autocomplete('data.php');

but the question is, how could i code the sql statement in the php??

yes, it is possible by using PHP inside a Javascript. for example

<script type="text/javascript">alert('<?php echo $somethingfromDatabase; ?>');</script>
