Hello, what I would do is the following under var selected_value; I would add the below var, unless the above var is there to serve this purpose var selectedCounty = null; Then later create your autocomplete widget $("#tags").autocomplete({         source: availableTags                            });    and listen for the autocompleteselect event as shown in the previous example.  Notice you now assign the selected county value to the the selectedCounty var you declared globally.......or this could be the selected_value $( "#tags" ).on( "autocompleteselect", function( evt, data ) {         console.log(data.label) //the text from the autocomplete         console.log(data.value) //the value of the selected item, the value and label will be the same if not explicitly set                                      selectedCounty = ui.value;  //this will send the selected value to your extract by county function                                                           } ); in your switch have the following case "extractByCounty":       //var county = document.getElementById("sel_county").value;       //instead of doing the above, just pass in selectedCounty      //since selectedCounty is global, it may be uneccessary to to pass in because is can be used anywhere      extractByCounty(selectedCounty);      break; When I had extractbycounty(ui.value); I was just showing you how to pass the selected value to your extractByCounty function, but as you highlighted in your previous post, you call extractByCounty from a switch statement, so I adjusted the code accordingly Make better sense? ...
