I think it's still beneficial to set width when using a non-body container.

However, when choosing an item, the <span class="inline-code">onSelect()</span> callback returns all required information.

<h4>Customizing the Display Container</h4>
<p>Sometimes you don't want the container to be just placed at the end of the body tag, and it would make more sense for your use case to have it display in a different location.
To do something like that, you would just have to scaffold out an empty block container (div, section, etc) for results, and then pass a class or ID attached to that container into
the options when you initalize autocomplete:</p>
