How to load jquery ui autocomplete combobox?

I have tried below script to load jQuery UI Autocomplete in theme. But it doesn't load their related scripts. How should I call it to work.

wp_enqueue_script('jquery-ui-autocomplete');

I think below scripts are jQuery UI related scripts for autocomplete but it's doesn't load.

script type='text/javascript' src='http://localhost/wordpress/wp-includes/js/jquery/ui/jquery.ui.core.min.js?ver=1.10.2'/script
script type='text/javascript' src='http://localhost/wordpress/wp-includes/js/jquery/ui/jquery.ui.widget.min.js?ver=1.10.2'/script
script type='text/javascript' src='http://localhost/wordpress/wp-includes/js/jquery/ui/jquery.ui.position.min.js?ver=1.10.2'/script
script type='text/javascript' src='http://localhost/wordpress/wp-includes/js/jquery/ui/jquery.ui.menu.min.js?ver=1.10.2'/script
script type='text/javascript' src='http://localhost/wordpress/wp-includes/js/jquery/ui/jquery.ui.autocomplete.min.js?ver=1.10.2'/script

As for the stylesheets: WordPress does not register jQuery UI styles by default!

You have to include the theme you want by calling wp_enqueue_style(). Since you need the right version, you can call wp_scripts() and check for the registered jQuery UI core version.

Try to load the script in the footer section.

<script type="text/javascript"
        src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript"
        src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.18/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
                $(document).ready(function(){
                    $("#clientAutocomplete").autocomplete({
                        source:'client_autocomplete.php',
                        minLength:1
                    });
                });
        </script>

This worked for me
