YUI3 Autocomplete: How to get value from after select event

Question

I'm implementing application to obtain stock information from Yahoo Finance API using YUI3. I've done the autocomplete list but face a problem on how to get the value after user click mouse or press enter on the list.

Here is my code. The problem is that mynode.after(...) gives an error but I have no idea why and how to fix it. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

   YUI().use('autocomplete', function (Y){
    mynode = Y.one('#comsymbol');
    mynode.plug(Y.Plugin.AutoComplete, {
        activateFirstItem: true,
        enableCache: false,
        source: function(query, callback) {
            $.ajax({
                dataType: "jsonp",
                cache: true,
                type: "GET",
                jsonp: "callback",
                jsonpCallback: "YAHOO.Finance.SymbolSuggest.ssCallback",
                data: {query:query},
                url: "http://autoc.finance.yahoo.com/autoc",
            });

            YAHOO.Finance.SymbolSuggest.ssCallback = function(data) {
                var result = data.ResultSet.Result;
                var lists = new Array();
                for( var i = 0; i < result.length; i++ ) {
                    var sb = result[i].symbol;
                    var nm = result[i].name;
                    var xch = result[i].exch;
                    var all = sb + ", " + nm + " (" + xch + ")";
                    lists[i] = all;
                }
                callback( lists );
            };
        },
        }

        mynode.after('select', function (e) {
            getStockInfo();
        });

    });

});

You must attach the event listener to the AutoComplete instance rather than the Node. The AutoComplete instance can be accessed via the ac member of the Node, and from there you can simply attach your event callback as you had before:

mynode.ac.after('select', function (e) {
    getStockInfo();
});

Take a look at the YUI AutoComplete tutorial (As a Plugin section specifically) for more details.
