Rails - Feb 2006 - Ajax.Autocompleter is not a constructor

Hi Rails,

I am having trouble setting up an autocomplete text field.  Using rails 1.0.0 
and just trying to copy the simple scriptaculous demo 
(http://demo.script.aculo.us/ajax/autocompleter) fails. My view and controller 
are set up the same way.

In firefox 1.0.4 (and safari, don''t remember the version) I get the 
Ajax.Autocompleter error in the javascript console when loading the page.  Here 
is the code that text_field_with_auto_complete generates for me:

<input id="contact_name" name="contact[name]"
size="30" type="text" /><div
class="auto_complete"
id="contact_name_auto_complete"></div><script
type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
new Ajax.Autocompleter(''contact_name'',
''contact_name_auto_complete'',
''/account/auto_complete_for_contact_name'', {})
//]]>
</script>

I made no changes to the public/javascripts.

Any suggestions?  Thanks,
--Dean

You probably need to include controls.js in your layout or view template
in addition to prototype and effects:

  <%= javascript_include_tag "prototype", "effects",
"controls" %>

*sheepish grin*  Yep that was it.  Layouts make it easy to forget things.
Thank you.
