Add the `active: false` option ([*documentation*][1])..

    $(&quot;#accordion&quot;).accordion({ header: &quot;h3&quot;, collapsible: true, active: false });

I would like to be able to find a match between the first letter of a word, and one of the letters in a group such as &quot;ABC&quot;. In pseudocode, this might look something like:

    case Process(word) =&gt;
       word.firstLetter match {
          case([a-c][A-C]) =&gt;
          case _ =&gt;
       }
    }

But how do I grab the first letter in Scala instead of Java? How do I express the regular expression properly? Is it possible to do this within a [case class][1]?

I am working with jQuery UI Accordion and it works great, but I would like to have the accordion stay closed unless it I click on it.

I am using this code right now, which allows be to toggle it closed:

    $(&quot;#accordion&quot;).accordion({ header: &quot;h3&quot;, collapsible: true });

Is there a way to have it closed by default unless it is clicked?

How do I get the jQuery-UI sortable feature working on iPad and other touch devices?

http://jqueryui.com/demos/sortable/

I tried to using `event.preventDefault();`, `event.cancelBubble=true;`, and `event.stopPropagation();` with the `touchmove` and the `scroll` events, but the result was that the page does not scroll any longer.

Any ideas?

Before you point me to them, yes, I have reviewed the half dozen posts on this topic, but I am still stymied as to why this doesn&#39;t work.

My goal is to detect when the autocomplete yields 0 results. Here&#39;s the code:

     $.ajax({
       url:&#39;sample_list.foo2&#39;,
       type: &#39;get&#39;,
       success: function(data, textStatus, XMLHttpRequest) {
          var suggestions=data.split(&quot;,&quot;);
       
      $(&quot;#entitySearch&quot;).autocomplete({ 
        source: suggestions,
        minLength: 3,
        select: function(e, ui) {  
         entityAdd(ui.item.value);
         },
        open: function(e, ui) { 
         console.log($(&quot;.ui-autocomplete li&quot;).size());
         },
        search: function(e,ui) {
         console.log(&quot;search returned: &quot; + $(&quot;.ui-autocomplete li&quot;).size());
         
        },
        close: function(e,ui) {  
         console.log(&quot;on close&quot; +  $(&quot;.ui-autocomplete li&quot;).size());    
         $(&quot;#entitySearch&quot;).val(&quot;&quot;);
        }
       }); 
       
      $(&quot;#entitySearch&quot;).autocomplete(&quot;result&quot;, function(event, data) {
       
       if (!data) { alert(&#39;nothing found!&#39;); }

      })
     }
    }); 



The search itself works fine, I can get results to appear without a problem. As I understand it, I *should* be able to intercept the results with the autocomplete(&quot;result&quot;) handler. In this case, it never fires at all. (Even a generic alert or console.log that doesn&#39;t reference the number of results never fires). The open event handler shows the correct number of results (when there are results), and the search and close event handlers report a result size that is always one step behind. 

I feel like I&#39;m missing something obvious and glaring here but I just don&#39;t see it. 



Detecting no results on jQuery UI autocomplete

I have a simple html multi select drop down list:

    &lt;select id=&quot;transactionType&quot; multiple=&quot;multiple&quot; size=&quot;10&quot;&gt;
      &lt;option value=&quot;ALLOC&quot;&gt;ALLOC&lt;/option&gt;
      &lt;option value=&quot;LOAD1&quot;&gt;LOAD1&lt;/option&gt;
      &lt;option value=&quot;LOAD2&quot;&gt;LOAD2&lt;/option&gt;
      &lt;!-- etcetera... --&gt;
    &lt;/select&gt;

I want to continue to use this list in the event javascript is disabled however with javaScript I would like to render the list as a multi-select drop down list. That is it only shows one item in the list until clicked and then will expand to show x items and provide scrolling, where I can select multiple elements as you would expect while holding shift or ctrl.

New to jQuery was searching the http://jquery.com/ but haven&#39;t yet found what I need.

**Edit** Struts2 users, the selected answer will url encode with [] this causes issues in struts2 the fix however is very easy. Simply open jquery.multiSelect.js and search for &quot;[]&quot; and delete the one instance this is used in a string concatenation. I also am using jQuery 1.4.4 as opposed to the 1.3.2 which came bundled with it and everything works just fine. 

jQuery multiselect drop down menu

I have the following script which works with a 1 dimensional array.  Is it possible to get this to work with a 2 dimensional array?  Then whichever item is selected, by clicking on a second button on the page, should display the id of whichever item is selected.

This is the script with the 1 dimensional array:

    var $local_source = [&quot;c++&quot;, &quot;java&quot;, &quot;php&quot;, &quot;coldfusion&quot;, &quot;javascript&quot;, &quot;asp&quot;, &quot;ruby&quot;];
    $(&quot;#txtAllowSearch&quot;).autocomplete({
        source: $local_source
    });

This is the script for the button to check the id, which is incomplete:

    $(&#39;#button&#39;).click(function() {
        // alert($(&quot;#txtAllowSearch&quot;).someone_get_id_of_selected_item);
    });

jQuery UI autocomplete with item and id

is it possible to disable scrolling in browser (just for browser&#39;s scrollbars) while a jQuery UI modal dialog is open.

Note: I do want scrolling to be enabled inside the dialog
