Write code to do it. But since we can't see any of your controls I'm not sure we can tell you much more.

Hi ,

here is the solution:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script>

    <script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.js"></script>

    <script type="text/javascript">

        $(document).ready(function() {

            var cars = ['CAR1', 'CAR2', 'CAR3'];

            $('[id$=txtAutocompCars]').autocomplete({
                source: cars.filter(onlyUnique)
            });

            $('[id$=txtAutocompCars]').focusout(function() {
                //alert("changed");
                var newcar = $('[id$=txtAutocompCars]').val();
                cars.push(newcar);

                //  jQuery.each(cars, function(i, val) {
                //  alert("Mine is " + val + ".");
                //  });

                //Recall the autocomplete function;
                $('[id$=txtAutocompCars]').autocomplete({
                    source: cars.filter(onlyUnique)
                });
            });

        });


        function onlyUnique(value, index, self) {
            return self.indexOf(value) === index;
        }
       
        
    </script>

html part:

<input name="cars" id="txtAutocompCars" type="text" />
