Show dropdownlist with JQuery Autocomplete suggestions

My JQuery autocomplete is working almost fine. After inserting "Af", if I press KeyDown, I correctly get "Afghanistan". However, I can never see the dropdownlist with all the countries. Am I missing some autocomplete option?

My Code:

@Html.TextBox("Countries", "", new { @class = "COUNTRIES", @placeholder = "Insert Country..."}) 

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.js"></script>

<script>
    $(function () {
        var countriesList = ["Afghanistan", "Albania", "Algeria"]
        $(".COUNTRIES").autocomplete({ source: countriesList });
    });
</script>

You can see this example in http://www.encodedna.com/2013/08/jquery-autocomplete-dropdown-list-on-focus.htm.

It shows the drop down list when focusing on the input by adding 

.focus(function() {$(this).autocomplete("search", "");})

And you also can set the scroll style.
