How to get a list of the items for autocomplete? I mean, the source values (hints for autocomplete). I tried this:
$("#autocomplete").autocomplete('option', 'source');
But this doesn't work.
Sorry for my poor Enlish and poor jQuery knowledge.

When we initialize autocomplete we give it some values. Hints. For example, ["Python", "Perl", "Java", "Basic"]. I need to get this values.user64675– user646752015-09-08 05:13:33 +00:00Commented Sep 8, 2015 at 5:13

If you wanna to set item for autocomplete
Try like this
$("#autocomplete").autocomplete({
source : ["dum1","dum2"]
});
After initialize
for getting
var source = $( "#autocomplete" ).autocomplete( "option", "source" );
console.log(source)
for setting
$( "#autocomplete" ).autocomplete( "option", "source", [ "dum3", "dum4", ] );

No, i need to GET items. Get suggestions for autocomplete.

nope. Just [element]. The output is just like $("#autocomplete").

Unfortunately, I can't. But if you tell me, what are you thinking about, I'll be very grateful.
var source = $( ".selector" ).autocomplete( "option", "source" )
console.log(source)
response: ['val1','val2','val3']

While this code may solve the question, including an explanation of how and why this solves the problem would really help to improve the quality of your post, and probably result in more up-votes.
