how to clear and add source data dynamically in jquery autocomplete

Question

this is my jquery code.year is form input tag id.years is array variable it's contain all years values.i put this array in autocomplete source.it's working fine.but once i set autocomplete source equal null after set autocomplete source years array did not work.how to solve this problem?

$("#year").blur(function() {
    var keyEvent = $.Event("keydown");
    keyEvent.keyCode = $.ui.keyCode.ENTER;
    $(this).trigger(keyEvent);
    // Stop event propagation if needed
    return false;
}).autocomplete({
    autoFocus : true,
    source : years,
    selectFirst : true,
    select : function(event, ui) {
        variableyear = (ui.item.lable);
    }
});

code for clear source data:

$("#year").autocomplete('option', 'source', null);

It's really hurt my eyes for reading your question. Could you give a little effort to correct your format (upper cases, indent...)? — long.luc

Try setting an empty array as the source:

$("#year").autocomplete({source: []});

or

$("#year").autocomplete('option', 'source', []);
