Jquery autocomplete select event issue

Question

Ajax autocomplete response values are not coming to select option to display the text in the filed. Please advise how to get the value in select event.

$("#parts").autocomplete({
source: function(request, response) {
$.ajax({
url: "searchPart.jsp",
type: "POST",
dataType: "json",
data: { name: request.term},
success: function (data) {
        tempResults = data;
       response($.map(data, function (value, key) {
            return {
                label: key,
                value: key
            };
        }));
        }
      });
},
minLength: 3,
select: function (event, ui) {
 //event.preventDefault();
var name = tempResults[ui.item.value].value;
var id = tempResults[ui.item.value].key;

$('#partname').val(name);
$('#partname').text(name);
}  
}); 

</script>
</head>

<body>
<form>
<input type="text" name="part" id="parts" />
<input type="text" name="partname" id=partname/>

Are you sure you want to preventDefault() in select()? Per the API, that will prevent that value from being filled in in the text field. — Russell Zahniser

Your select() event handler is in the ajax() call, not the autocomplete() call. If you tell your editor to fix your indentation that will be obvious.
