similar to: :after_update_element on text_field_with_auto_complete

It talks to my controller correctly, firing my method that queries mySQL and returns a nice <ul> to select from all with CSS. Ok great. Now I want to be able to capture the ID of the item that the user will select from. I

Good day. I have searched on the net and through the archives to now avail as of yet. I have a text_field_with_auto_complete that searches for company names. These company names obviously can have an ''&'' in the name of the company (example Barnes & Nobel). The auto complete works beautifully. However, the problem arises when I pass the name of the company to the

Hi everyone, I need to trigger a Rails action after the autocompletion is completed (when the user has selected an option). From the scriptaculous doc, I figured out ''afterUpdateElement'' is the place to be but I wonder if/how and where I can hook my javascript code to this event in Rails code (I''d like to keep using the helper, if possible)?

I have a text_field_with_auto_complete in _each_ row of my /list table. I use the autocomplete box in a row to update info in that row. I noticed that all of them get the same id and name attributes (user_uid and user[uid]). This doesn''t cause a problem in firefox 1.5 on windows. However on IE 6/Opera 9 I can only get autocomplete in the first box, and that box on

Hi everybody, I''d like to add a custom action to be triggered after/when an autocompleted field has been/is beeing updated by the autocompletion process.
