title: Appending an item to a jQuery UI autocomplete
body: <p>Currently, I'm using jQuery UI autocomplete on a textbox that references an ASHX file.  </p>
  
  <p>Everything is working propertly, except I want to append an item at the end of the list that reads:  "Item not found?  Click here to request to add a new item."  </p>
  
  <p>I tried the following the lines of code, but all it did was format the item's, I was unable to append.</p>
  
  <pre><code>data( "catcomplete" )._renderItem = function( ul, item ) {
          return $( "&lt;li&gt;&lt;/li&gt;" )
              .data( "item.catcomplete", item )
              .append( $( "&lt;a class='ui-menu-item'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;" ).text( item.label ) )
              .appendTo( $('ul').last('.autocomplete-category'));
      };
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Hints?  Tips?  Mucho gracias! :D</p>
