Description
So, I'm trying to use the widget factory to build out a version of autocomplete that emulates select2() with a search box below the selected item and above the items themselves and having some difficulty.
It may be my lack of experience with the factory. However from my perspective, this would be much easier if instead of autocomplete object being simply a ul, it would be a ul wrapped by a div.
Is this something that the jQueryUI Team would consider? I would love to hear your comments on this topic.
