AutoComplete using jquery pass value to hidden field

I hava a autoComplete input field in JSF.

My JSP code

<h:form id="setupValue">
  <input type="text" id="department" name="department"/>

<script>
    $("#department").autocomplete("getdept.jsp",{minChars: 4});
</script>
        </h:form>

and in getdept.jsp

DepartmentMB dept = new DepartmentMB ();
String query = request.getParameter("q");
List<String> dep = dept.getData(query);

Iterator<String> iterator = dep .iterator();
while(iterator.hasNext()) {
    String department = (String)iterator.next();
    String deptName=(String)it.next();
    out.println(deptName);

}

How can I send department to a hidden field and display deptName to inputText field?

Thanks

Have you tried like this ?

$("#department").autocomplete({
    source: "getdept.jsp",
    minLength: 4,
    select: function(event, result) { 
        $("#hiddenfield").val(result)
    }
});

Obviously getting value is $("#hiddenfield").val()
