Custom template with two header templates

[Raja]

I am using AutoComplete where users can search for different type of data in one field like search in gmail or IMDB. In my case I would like to search for employees and departments. If the keyword matches both I have to display all the results. Below is the example format I want to display.

Emp Id   Name
123        test
124        test 1

Dept Id   Dept Name
123         Dept1
124         dept 2

how can I use two header templates?

Hello Raja,

In general, the widget supports single header template. If you would like to display different contents based on some logic, then you will to append the header template manually. Here is a Dojo demo (http://dojo.telerik.com/@ggkrustev/uxAjI) that demonstrates one possible approach.

Let me know if something is not clear.

Thank you and sorry of not responding early.
In my case I have to display both headers at same time. It is like two sections. Top section contains Employees and bottom section contains departments.

Hello Raja,

In that case, I would suggest you use the headerTemplate option to display a template on top and the footer should be added manually. Here is a modified demo that shows one possible approach.
