Since 1.1.2
Source Code framework/zii/widgets/jui/CJuiAutoComplete.php
CJuiAutoComplete displays an autocomplete field.

CJuiAutoComplete encapsulates the JUI autocomplete plugin.

To use this widget, you may insert the following code in a view: 
$this->widget('zii.widgets.jui.CJuiAutoComplete',array(
    'name'=>'city',
    'source'=>array('ac1','ac2','ac3'),
    // additional javascript options for the autocomplete plugin
    'options'=>array(
        'minLength'=>'2',
    ),
    'htmlOptions'=>array(
        'style'=>'height:20px;',
    ),
));


By configuring the options property, you may specify the options that need to be passed to the JUI autocomplete plugin. Please refer to the JUI AutoComplete API documentation for possible options (name-value pairs) and JUI AutoComplete page for general description and demo.

By configuring the source property, you may specify where to search the autocomplete options for each item. If source is an array, the list is used for autocomplete. You may also configure sourceUrl to retrieve autocomplete items from an ajax response.
