Rails spinoffs - May 2006 - RE: Leak in the Autocompleter, with scrollable result-div ?

Hi Ed

The reason it adds a new onblur is because when you click the scrollbar the
event is gone. I dont know why and how to prevent it, but without adding it
back the onblur does not get triggered and the layer does not hide when you
click somewhere else on the page. If anyone finds a better solution, please
provide a patch.

I still have not been able to make the blur work on Safari, so Thomas wont
add the patch to the SVN. I do not have Safari (nor access to it), so
getting help from you Mac-people would be awesome ;-)
