Please add "Name" field where you are quering Organization__c LIKE
 
Select Name from Organization__c

 
Waqar Hussain SFWaqar Hussain SF
Can you please paste your controller here. So that I can fully understand your problem.
Swetha Sfdc1Swetha Sfdc1
'Organization__C' is the Object. instead of Name Object i have 'ITdept__C'
Means - instead of 'Account' : 'Organization__C'
             instead of id,name i have 'ITdept__C'
I have tried like this
public class AutoCompleteDemoController{
    public list<Organization__C> getAccountList(){
        return [select ITdept__C from Organization__C];
    }
}
I tried this Still I am facing same VF error
Need some changes in Jquery Script

Thanks
Swetha

public class AutoCompleteDemoController{
    public list<Organization__C> getAccountList(){
        return [select ITdept__c, ITdept__r.Name from Organization__C];
    }
}

Or I think you should be 
 
public class AutoCompleteDemoController{
    public list<Organization__C> getAccountList(){
        return [select ITdept__c, Name from Organization__C];
    }
}

Hello, 

The code is fine for STANDARD object, but not working in CUSTOM object. What did I miss?
Name__c is a custom field in D__c object

//We will query the Journal custom object using the sforce.connection.query function..
        var resultJ = sforce.connection.query("select Name__c from D__c"); 
        var recordsJ = resultJ.getArray("recordsJ");
        var javascriptDList =[];
         
        //Iterate thru the list of D
        for(j=0;j<recordsJ.length;j++){
            javascriptDList[j]=recordsJ[j].Name__c;
        }

        inside Script: 

j$("#sfjsDautocomplete").autocomplete({                 
source : javascriptDList             });
