Struts 2 jquery plugin id for visible input in sj:autocompleter

Question

When creating an struts 2 jquery auto completer, the tag creates a hidden and a visible input.

If we set the id like below:

<sj:autocompleter id="sample/>

The id will be assigned to hidden input. Is there any way we can assign the id to visible input. The generated html for this input is:

<input class="s2j-combobox-input ui-autocomplete-input">

Answer 1

You can select a visible input element using jQuery and use attr() function on the element(s).

$(function(){
  $(".s2j-combobox-input.ui-autocomplete-input").attr("id", value);
});
