Autocomplete textfield validation

Client validation works perfectly in a textfield for form, but if i change the textfield to an autocomplete it validates even if all rules are matched.

Below is my view form

<div class="form">

<?php $form=$this->beginWidget('CActiveForm', 

    array(

        'id'=>'attendance-form',

        'enableClientValidation'=>true,

        'clientOptions'=>array('validateOnSubmit'=>true,'validateOnChange'=>true)

    )); ?>

 

    <?php echo $form->errorSummary($model_one); ?>

        <div class="row">

                <?php echo $form->labelEx($model_one,'employee_full_name'); ?>

        <?php $this->widget('CAutoComplete',

                array(

                    //name of the html field that will be generated

                    'model'=>$model_one,

                    'attribute'=>'employee_full_name',                    

                    'name'=>'employee_full_name', 

                    'url'=>array('attendance/autoCompleteLookup'), 

                    'max'=>10, //specifies the max number of items to display

                    'minChars'=>2,//specifies the number of chars that must be entered before autocomplete initiates a lookup

                    'delay'=>100, //number of milliseconds before lookup occurs

                    'matchCase'=>false, //match case when performing a lookup?

                    //any additional html attributes that go inside of the input field can be defined here

                    'htmlOptions'=>array('size'=>'40'), 

                    'methodChain'=>".result(function(event,item){\$(\"#user_id\").val(item[1]);})",

                    ));

                    echo CHtml::hiddenField('user_id');

                ?>

                <?php echo $form->error($model_one,'employee_full_name'); ?>

	</div>

    

    <div class="row submit">

        <?php echo CHtml::submitButton('Get Employee Data'); ?>

    </div>

 

<?php $this->endWidget(); ?>

I got it working…for those who are interested what was the problem, my autocomplete textfield id was not matching the required id…so i added id attribute to my autocomplete…here it is:

$this->widget('CAutoComplete',

                array(

                    //name of the html field that will be generated

                    'model'=>$model_one,

                    'id'=>'SupervisorAttendance_employee_full_name',

                    'name'=>'employee_full_name', 

                    'url'=>array('attendance/autoCompleteLookup'), 

                    'max'=>10, //specifies the max number of items to display

                    'minChars'=>2,//specifies the number of chars that must be entered before autocomplete initiates a lookup

                    'delay'=>100, //number of milliseconds before lookup occurs

                    'matchCase'=>false, //match case when performing a lookup?

                    //any additional html attributes that go inside of the input field can be defined here

                    'htmlOptions'=>array('size'=>'40'), 

                    'methodChain'=>".result(function(event,item){\$(\"#user_id\").val(item[1]);})",

                    ));

                    echo CHtml::hiddenField('user_id');
