Rails - Mar 2006 - Ajax.Autocompleter with an empty field

Hey guys,

I have a field that will have very few autocomplete options. I have  
an ajax.autocompleter on it that works great, but I wanted to make it  
start autocompleting as soon as the field is blur()ed, so that even  
if the field is empty, the list will still appear. Like a combo box  
in windows. How can I do this? Setting :min_chars => 0 (or even -1)  
didn''t work...

Well, that didn''t work. But it made me realize that :min_chars
isn''t
working, either! My code is:

<%text_field_with_auto_complete :the_object, :project_name, {}
                              {:with => 
"''client=''+$F(''the_object_client_id'')+''&''+value",
                               :min_chars => 3,
                               :frequency => 0.1
                              }
%>

Yet even with :min_chars => 3, the text filed auto completes with one 
char...

Am I doing this wrong?
