As in the docs, you should provide the URL to a script which will
return an unordered list of possible matches to the query. Your script
will need to read in a POST of the same name as your autocompleted form
field, so if you named the field ''lookup'' in your code, your
script
will look for a POST called lookup, take its value, and perform a
database query. I usually use something like this:
SELECT id, fieldname FROM tablename WHERE fieldname LIKE
"%heavily_filtered_version_of_lookup%" ORDER BY fieldname ASC LIMIT
0,20
The return from your script must be a simple, undecorated UL, nothing
more or less, unless you use some of the more advanced configuration
options.
