If your using it from the controller then it should be there.

You could always try re-installing rails.  It''s a bit hard to guess
whats
happening with as much information as you''ve posted.  Can you be a
little
more specific about what''s happening

Sure Daniel,

This is the controller code:

  def realsignup
    auto_complete_for :sports, :name
   end

realsignup.rhtml is the page that gets loaded.

Here is the error I get.

"undefined method `auto_complete_for'' for
#<UserController:0x37d88a8>"

I have used the auto complete and its working for me...

The way I did it was

    In the views

       1.  Include the default javascript in the .rhtml file
      		<%= javascript_include_tag  :defaults %>

       2.  Where ever u wanna do the autocomplete include this tag

            <%= text_field_with_auto_complete :movie, :movie_name %>

            book and the book_name are the name of the textbox
            So u can access the value of the textbox with
            params[:movie][''movie_name''] in the controller.

           Thats all in the views...

    Now in the controller

      1.   Define a method named "auto_complete_for_book_book_name"
           Remember this method should be there in the same controller 
as that of the view page.
           I tried the way u did b4, and got the same error. So I did 
this way...

           	def auto_complete_for_book_book_name
			book_search = params[:movie][:movie_name]
			@books = Book.find(:all,
					   :conditions => [ ''LOWER(book_name) LIKE
?'',book_search.downcase
+ ''%'' ],
					   :order => ''book_name ASC'')
			render :partial => ''/views/all_views''
               end


       2. Write a partial rhtml page named all_views

Thats it......


An example is given in the script.aculo.us. Follow this link and find 
it...

Hey Anand,

Thanks for the advice, I got it to work kinda.

Its querying my database, however when I click on one of the items, its
shows up in the text field with a top margin and extra spaces on both
sides of the entry.

Basically, when it shows up in my text field, i can only see the very
top of the word because the whole entry is shifted down some. I have to
drag within the text field to reveal the word.

Overall, it takes up like 3 lines with the word in the middle line, so
you cant even see the word unless you drag down inside the text field.
Do you know what could be wrong?
