The script gets as far as the breakpoint in the controller, but it doesn’t like the next line – giving the error message

I''m trying to set up a search field with autocomplete. I have verified that the server is called when I type a letter in the box, and that the handler creates the correct instance variable. However, I never see the partial that is supposed to be rendered. Here are the relevant files. I included their paths/names in case I am missing some nuance of the naming conventions.

In the customized autocomplete demo, how does it know what content to use as the value of the autocomplete? The returned UL has the name, email address and an image. Yet only the name is used. How does it do this? I''ve been trying to get something similar going all morning with little success. Also, what does :skip_style=>true do? I couldn''t seem to find a mention of it
