you can use onselect replace textbox value data.

from example provided @ autocomplete project. added 1 line.

$('#autocomplete-ajax').autocomplete({             lookup: countriesarray,             lookupfilter: function(suggestion, originalquery, querylowercase) {                 var re = new regexp('\\b' + $.autocomplete.utils.escaperegexchars(querylowercase), 'gi');                 return re.test(suggestion.value);             },             onselect: function(suggestion) {                 $('input#autocomplete-ajax').val(suggestion.data);// replace data                 $('#selction-ajax').html('you selected: ' + suggestion.value + ', ' + suggestion.data);             }         }); 

the line want bring attention is:

$('input#autocomplete-ajax').val(suggestion.data);// replace data

you can strip span out of chosen value.
