Limit results in jQuery UI Autocomplete

Here is the proper documentation for the jQueryUI widget. There isn't a built-in parameter for limiting max results, but you can accomplish it easily:

$("#auto").autocomplete({
    source: function(request, response) {
        var results = $.ui.autocomplete.filter(myarray, request.term);

        response(results.slice(0, 10));
    }
});

You can supply a function to the source parameter and then call slice on the filtered array.

Here's a working example: http://jsfiddle.net/andrewwhitaker/vqwBP/

Same like "Jayantha" said using css would be the easiest approach, but this might be better,

.ui-autocomplete { max-height: 200px; overflow-y: scroll; overflow-x: hidden;}

Note the only difference is "max-height". this will allow the widget to resize to smaller height but not more than 200px

You can set the minlength option to some big value or you can do it by css like this,

.ui-autocomplete { height: 200px; overflow-y: scroll; overflow-x: hidden;}
