    <h3>DataSource</h3>
    <p>This DataSource instance points to an in-memory JavaScript function that
    returns results in an array. The function queries against an in-memory object
    literal of data that holds the 50 US states and their corresponding postal
    abbreviations.</p>

    <h3>AutoComplete</h3>
    <p>Since the DataSource for this example is already loaded into memory,
    queries should be very fast to return data. Therefore, the AutoComplete
    instance is configured to have a query delay of zero seconds. The
    AutoComplete instance is also configured to display two data fields in its
    container: the state and its corresponding postal abbreviation. By setting
    the alwaysShowContainer property to true and customizing appropriate CSS styles, the
    container has been implemented to always be displayed. Custom event handlers
    have been hooked into containerExpandEvent and containerCollapseEvent to
    dynamically update the always open container's contents.</p>
