Replace drop down select with autocomplete

Right now I have a jumpmenu. User selects an item and the jumpmenu
takes them to the view/itemid page.

I would like to achieve this with autocomplete instead.

I am able to get the autocomplete part working easily using cakePHP's
built-in autocomplete helper, but I do I then submit the item id once
the item name fills the text box? Anyone does this before
successfully, without ugly hacks (such as submitting the item name to
search for the item's corresponding id and then using that to go to
the view/itemid page?
