changejQuery UI autocomplete markup
<p>I'm using the jQuery UI autocomplete widget and am looking into adding to the markup in order to fix a design problem.</p>

<p>I basically want the suggestion box to not have a top box-shadow and the only way to only clip the top shadow is to have a surrounding container with <code>padding: 0px 20px 20px 20px</code> and <code>overflow: hidden</code>.</p>

<p>I tried adding <code>&lt;div class="container&gt; ... &lt;/div&gt;</code> around the list markup in the js code, but it adds the same class to both the div and ul.</p>

<p>Here's the code in jquery-ui-1.8.14.custom.min.js:</p>
