APEX

Hi all,

Using Apex 4.1, I'm trying to adjust any "Text field with autocomplete" item on my page so that it will automatically display the options onfocus or when key-down.

I've tried to adapt this to APEX
http://forum.jquery.com/topic/autocomplete-on-focus-show-default-drop-down
based on ideas I saw here

but my jquery kungfu is still growing...

For instance, I tried this for a specific field - it's syntactically ok & no errors reported in the console, but nothing happens on focus
(Footer text on page)

<script type="text/javascript">   
$("#P1_ITEM").bind('focus',(function(){
	if (this.value == "")
		$(this).trigger('keydown.autocomplete');
}));
</script>

Thanks!
