<p>This demo shows how to retrieve some XML data, parse it using jQuery's methods, then provide it to the autocomplete as the datasource.</p>
<p>This should also serve as a reference on how to parse a remote XML datasource - the parsing would just happen for each request within the source-callback.</p>
