Rails - Jan 2010 - text field with autocomplete

Hey everybody,

I am using text field with autocomplete in my posts new action. That
works great.
Response from autocompleter in firebug:
POST http://localhost:3001/posts/auto_complete_for_tag_name 200 OK 68ms

but if I use the same in edit action it fails and I got this error.
POST http://localhost:3001/posts/781/auto_complete_for_tag_name 404 Not
Found 81ms



*** POSTS controller: ***
def auto_complete_for_tag_name
    @tag = Tag.find(:all, :conditions => ["name LIKE
?",#{params[:tag][:name]}%"])
    render :inline => "<%= auto_complete_result(@tag,
''name'') %>"
  end


*** posts NEW and EDIT view ***
<div id="add_tag">
  <% form_remote_tag( :url => {:controller => :tags}, :html => {:id
=>
''tag_form''}) do %>
    Name: <%= text_field_with_auto_complete :tag, :name, {:min_chars =>
2, :class => "text"} %>
    <%= submit_tag ''Add'' %>
  <% end %>
</div>

Thank for your help.

Maybe try form_for instead of form_remote_tag?

I wrote a gem that creates some scaffolding code customized for the
auto complete that might help you get a form working in your app
quickly; see: http://patshaughnessy.net/2009/10/1/auto_complete-scaffolding
Later you could adapt the scaffolding code to do what you really need.
