Why is jQuery autocomplete not popping up?

Here's the condensed source code:

<html>
    <head>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="/admin/jsi18n/"></script>
        <link href="/media/css/ui-lightness/jquery-ui-1.8.9.custom.css" type="text/css" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" />
        <script type="text/javascript" src="/media/admin/js/core.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="/media/admin/js/admin/RelatedObjectLookups.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="/media/admin/js/jquery.min.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="/media/admin/js/jquery.init.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="/media/admin/js/actions.min.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="/media/js/jquery-1.4.4.min.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="/media/js/jquery.autocomplete.pack.js"></script>
    </head>
    <body> 
        <div>
            <label for="id_postal_code" class="required">Postal code:</label>
            <input type="text" name="postal_code" id="id_postal_code" />
            <script>$('#id_postal_code').autocomplete({source:['one','two','three']});</script>
        </div>
    </body>
</html>

I'm trying to type 'o' in the textbox, but nothing appears.

It's adding this autocomplete='off' attribute and class='ac_input' to the input, so... it seems to be initializing correctly, I just don't know why anything isn't appearing.

If I look at the source code in firefox, that ac_input flashes every time I hit a key too, so it seems to be setting the class every time I type something, but autocomplete never switches to "on" (which I'm guessing it ought to at some point?).

If none of the solutions above or here solve this issue, be sure to check the page markup for a ul.ui-autocomplete element and check the z-index. In my case the plugin was working fine, the element was positioned correctly, but the z-index needed to be bumped up.

Try replacing {source:['one','two','three']} with ['one','two','three'].

You initialize jQuery twice -- admin/jquery.min.js and js/jquery-1.4.4.js

Try fixing that.

Wrap your call inside 

$(function() { 
  // your code here... 
});

It looks like your DOM isn't ready yet.
