title: jquery autocomplete using mvc3 dropdownlist
body: <p>I am using ASP.NET MVC3 with EF Code First. I have not worked previously with jQuery. I would like to add autocomplete capability to a dropdownlist that is bound to my model. The dropdownlist stores the ID, and displays the value.</p>
  
  <p>So, how do I wire up the jQuery UI auto complete widget to display the value as the user is typing but store the ID?</p>
  
  <p>I will need multiple auto complete dropdowns in one view too.</p>
  
  <p>I saw this plugin: <a href="http://harvesthq.github.com/chosen/" rel="nofollow">http://harvesthq.github.com/chosen/</a> but I am not sure I want to add more "stuff" to my project. Is there a way to do this with jQuery UI?</p>
