Hi friends, I was using the rails recipes for the feature called Lightning fast auto completer where we search and save the contents to be displayed in the JavaScript Array . something like in some .js file var authors = new Array(<%= @authors.size %>); <% @authors.each_with_index do |author, index| %> authors[<%= index %>] = "<%= author.name %>"; <% end %> and do this in the head section the rhtml file <head> <%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %> <script src="/book/authors_for_lookup" type="text/javascript"></script> and in the controller def authors_for_lookup @authors = Author.find(:all) @headers['' content-type'' ] = '' text/javascript'' end -- Piyush 09916133729 <Bangalore> http://ctrlshiftesc.blogspot.com/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.
