jquery ui autocomplete how to load a default value list

Question

very simple question (but I can't find the answer on the Web...): I have an autocomplete field being set this way:

$(document).ready ->
         $('#projecttask_user_name').autocomplete
                 source: "/autocomplete/users"

I would like jquery to trigger the source when I select the field in order to get the full list of possibilities even if I haven't typed anything in the field.

How can I do this? Thanks!

You can set the minLength option to 0, and call the search method when the input element gains focus:

$("#projecttask_user_name").autocomplete({
    source: "/autocomplete/users",
    minLength: 0
}).focus(function() {
    $(this).autocomplete("search", this.value);
});
