I have been trying to figure out an issue that I have run in to for the last couple of days. I am using autocomplete in a few areas in my project to pull up a list of things when adding something that has a relationship so that a user doesn''t create duplicates. In some cases the fields for those objects are being added to the form after a user clicks on a add thing link and in other cases the fields are being built when the page loads. The issue I am having is that if I use the exact same code for the fields it works when I add the fields after the form has been generated via ajax but doesn''t work when the fields are present on page load. I am running on edge rails (6424), using ujs, prototype 1.5.0_rc1, scriptaculous 1.6.5. I know those are a little bit older but I am also using lightbox 2.02 and it does not like newer prototype and scriptaculous builds in safari, I did try the newer scriptaculous and prototype builds and it still is an issue. Here is an example of the code being used: -- Code used in view (either directly on form or sent to form via partial -- <%= text_field_tag("publisher_name", nil, {:size => 30, :class => "inputText"}) %> <%= auto_complete_field("publisher_name", :url => auto_complete_publishers_path, :method => :get) %> <div class="auto_complete" id="publisher_name_auto_complete"></div> -- end code -- Basically I am using a custom auto complete function and my app is REST based. I have routes set up and as I mentioned everything works as advertised in one case but not the other. When I add the field on page load of the form I get the following error from prototype: -- error message (firebug in firefox output on page load -- hide(null)prototype.js (line 1153) baseInitialize("publisher_name", "publisher_name_auto_complete", Object paramName=publisher_name tokens=[0] frequency=0.4)controls.js (line 84) initialize("publisher_name", "publisher_name_auto_complete", "/ publishers;auto_complete", Object paramName=publisher_name tokens=[0] frequency=0.4)controls.js (line 335) create()prototype.js (line 23) [Break on this error] $(element).style.display = ''none''; -- end error message -- Any one have any idea what is going on? I have tried everything that i can think of to get this to work and for the life of me can not. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.
