How to write selenium code for autocomplete text box withe list selection

Question

I'm trying to write Selenium code for below HTML source code..

This field is the auto populated field for input selection

<input id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_txtBranch" class="textbox_service ui-autocomplete-input" name="ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$txtBranch" style="width: 200px;" onblur="return branch();" onchange="return CheckBranchName();" tabindex="6" autocomplete="off" type="text"/>

Any one can help me out to write the code?

Web element screen shot attached. Thanks in advance.

This is the best I could do with the information you provided. If you could show the HTML for what the autocomplete list looks like that would be great. You didn't specify any language so I'll assume it's Java.

WebElement field = driver.findElement(By.id("ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_txtBranch"));
field.click();
field.sendKeys(Keys.SPACE);

List<WebElement> items = driver.findElements(By.tagName("li");

for (int i=0; i<items.size();i++) {
WebElement elementYouWantToClick = items.get(i);
     String x = elementYouWantToClick.getText();
     if(x.contains("TextThatIsInYourElementYouWantToChoose")){
         elementYouWantToClick.click();
}

Best I could do for now with such limited information.

As per the HTML to click(select) the Auto Complete text, you can use the following line of code :

new WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//input[@class='textbox_service ui-autocomplete-input' and contains(@id,'_ContentPlaceHolder') and contains(@name,'txtBranch')]"))).click();
