Get the id value from the autocomplete input?

[bmcgonag]

I'm able to get the autocomplete to fill with my data items dynamically from the database, and display the text portion of the object as the option, but I would like to get the id value of the autocomplete option once selected. I don't see any method, or way to do this. Is it possible to get the id of the autocomplete option selected?

any help is greatly appreciated.
