Syntax:

$( ".selector" ).autocomplete({minLength: 1}),

Approach: First, add the jQuery Mobile scripts needed for your project.

<script src=”https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.js”></script> <script src=”https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.16/jquery-ui.js”></script> <link href=”http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.16/themes/ui-lightness/jquery-ui.css” rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” />

HTML




<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport"
          content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

         $(function() {
            var list  =  [
               "One",
               "two",
               "Three",
