Multiple version of jQuery autocomplete on same page

[Tarik Ansari]

Hi All,
I need to have two autocomplete box as a part of my current requirement. It already had normal autocomplete box which was previously implemented with autocomplete version 1.0.2, Now i have implemented another autocomplete box with auto-complete UI Version 1.8.16. So necessity is multiple version of jQuery autocomplete need to run on same page which is causing conflict kind of issue.Ofcourse, previously implemented autocomplete box cannot be redone or upgraded.

Issue: Autocomplete 1 (implemented with 1.0.2) works only when i comment the autocomplete plugin 1.8.16

I want to make both the functions work.

Could you please advise what can be done on this?

Any leads would be much appreciated.

Thanks

WHY not upgrade? It is a waste to have duplicated code.

Only way to have both is to rename one of the widgets to be a different name.

It is not supported to have two version of jQuery UI on the same page.
