thanks :) idan

simplest solution existing code add line:

        $('.tobutton').click(function(){$(this).remove(); }); 

just after $("#destinationschosen").html(...) block.

i don't recommend putting script in tag because it's not habit, since doesn't separate concerns. short answer has problems too, since getting .tobuttons each time , setting listener again.

the better way this, create tobutton dom node, , append parent div. way, can put listener on node itself.

$(function() {     $("#destinations").autocomplete({         select: function (event, ui) {             $("#destinationschosen").append(function(i, origtext){                 var selectedcountry = ui.item.value.tostring();                 var currenttext = origtext.tostring();                 if ((currenttext.indexof(selectedcountry) >= 0))                 {                     alert("already exists");                 }                 var destination = document.createelement('span');                 destination.classlist.add('tobutton');                 destination.appendchild( document.createtextnode(selectedcountry));                 destination.addeventlistener('click', function(){ this.remove(); });                 return destination;             })         }     }); })
