AutoComplete Control: Custom Formatting, with a Proxyless Remote DataSource

This AutoComplete instance uses a ScriptNodeDataSource to to find images from the YQL webservice without a proxy. The generateRequest() method must be customized to comply with the open API. Please note that the ScriptNodeDataSource requires that the webservice support a callback mechanism.

A custom formatter function is defined in order to show thumbnail images in the results container.

Implementers who are working with data from third-party sources, user input data, or otherwise untrustworthy sources should be sure to read the Security Considerations section of the AutoComplete user guide.
