# Editor example Auto-complete - client-side custom labels

The two previous examples for `autocomplete` simply display the label that is given by the server, however, it is also possible to provide your own custom display function to show additional information in the autocomplete options list.

This example is largely the same as the autocomplete Ajax example, but with the addition of a `display` property for the field which defines a function that is called for each option in the list. We also use the `escapeLabelHtml` option to disable the automatic XSS protection of `autocomplete`, and instead use `DataTable.util.escapeHtml()` on the user input data in the display function.

The JavaScript shown below is used to initialise the table shown in this example:

`const editor = new DataTable.Editor({ fields: [ { label: 'Name:', name: 'team.name' }, { label: 'Country:', name: 'country.name', type: 'autocomplete', ajax: '../php/autoCompleteRender.php', escapeLabelHtml: false, display: function (data, val) { return DataTable.util.escapeHtml(data.name) + '<span class="pull-right">' + data.flag + '</span>'; } } ], table: '#example' }); new DataTable('#example', { ajax: '../php/autoCompleteRender.php', columns: [ { data: 'team.name' }, { data: 'country.name' } ], layout: { topStart: { buttons: [ { extend: 'create', editor: editor }, { extend: 'edit', editor: editor }, { extend: 'remove', editor: editor } ] } }, select: true });`

In addition to the above code, the following JavaScript library files are loaded for use in this example:

The HTML shown below is the raw HTML table element, before it has been enhanced by DataTables:

This example uses a little bit of additional CSS beyond what is loaded from the library files (below), in order to correctly display the table. The additional CSS used is shown below:

`span.pull-right { float: right; }`

The following CSS library files are loaded for use in this example to provide the styling of the table:

This table loads data by Ajax. The latest data that has been loaded is shown below. This data will update automatically as any additional data is loaded.

The script used to perform the server-side processing for this table is shown below. Please note that this is just an example script using PHP. Server-side processing scripts can be written in any language, using the protocol described in the DataTables documentation.
