Rails - Apr 2006 - :after_update_element on text_field_with_auto_complete

I have a a basic prototype coded:

#view
	<%= text_field_with_auto_complete :student, :last_name, { :size => 15 
},
		:after_update_element => "alert(''hello
world'');" %>

#controller
class ScoresController < ApplicationController
  auto_complete_for :student, :last_name
end


If I take out the :after_update_element option everything works as 
advertised.  However, with :after_update_element specified nothing 
works.  The ajax call to the server does not happen.

I am running Rails 1.1.2 on Mac 10.4.6 with Ruby 1.8.4.  I am testing 
this with Safari.

Does anyone know why this doesn''t work?

This is the wrong syntax: a function is expected.
Try instead:
     :after_update_element =>
"function(element,value){alert(''You have
chosen: ''+value)}"
