Initializing the AutoComplete

To initialize the AutoComplete, use a jQuery selector.

<input id="autoComplete" />

$(document).ready(function() {
 $("#autoComplete").kendoAutoComplete(["Item1", "Item2"]);
});

The AutoComplete copies the styles and CSS classes from the input element to the wrapper element. For example, <input id="autoComplete" class="myClass" /> results in the following output.

<span class="k-widget k-autocomplete myClass">
    <input id="autoComplete" class="myClass" />
</span>
