Rails - Nov 2005 - Autocompleting combobox: fact or fiction?

Hey,

I''ve got a script.aculo.us autocompleting textfield that works 
wonderfully, but how do I make the value of the selected option submit 
with the form...for that matter, do autocompleting textboxes have 
''option'' tags, or is what I want to do simply impossible 8[

Thanks,
Gustav

view:
<%= start_form_tag :action => ''list'' %>
Title: <%= text_field_with_auto_complete :movie, :title %>
<%= submit_tag ''Search'' %>
<%= end_form_tag %>


controller:
auto_complete_for :movie, :title

def list
   @movies =  Movie.find(:all, :conditions => ["title like ?",
"%" +
unless params[:movie] then "" else params[:movie]["title"]
end + "%"],
:order => "title")
   @categories = Category.find(:all)
end


works fine for me
