How do I not submit a form using AJAXToolkit autocomplete?

I have used the AJAXToolkit autocomplete extender in my project. He works fine. But the problem is with the form of the page. when I type AutoComplete I get a list of suggestions. When I click on a page other than autocomplete, the form is submitted. Any suggestions on how to stop submitting the entire form whenever I click on the page? I am using .net 2.0

Does your TextBox have AutoPostBack = "True"? If so, it will automatically return when you're “done” (when the input control loses focus). If so, set it to false.

Yes, My TextBox AutoPostBack was set to true, which I have now changed to false.

but I have a url attached to each of my suggestions. When the user clicks on a suggestion, the user is taken to that specific URL. When I do AutoPostback = "false", I will not navigate this page.



HOw am I handling it?

I think it would be as simple as adding the required validator to your element to see if it has selected anything.

Use jquery to add an event handler that detects clicks. When a click occurs, stop the browser. Let me know if you need the code.
