Rails - Mar 2006 - Autocomplete broken after update to Rails 1.0

When I upgraded to 1.0, I broke autocomplete on a field.  I''ve done 
everything that I can think of to fix the problem, but nothing has 
worked.  I''m able to recreate a simple autocomplete from examples on
the
various tutorials, but my original code just will not work.

<input id="incident_first_party_name"
name="incident[first_party_name]"
size="30" type="text" value="" /><div
class="auto_complete"
id="incident_first_party_name_auto_complete"></div><script
type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
new Ajax.Autocompleter(''incident_first_party_name'', 
''incident_first_party_name_auto_complete'', 
''/incidents/auto_complete_for_incident_first_party_name'', {})
//]]>
</script>

The only thing that stands out to me is the //<![CDATA[ tag.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

rather than try to incorporate bits of js code within your objects, why
not just load the javascript at the top of your view_code_file or
layout_file completely?

i.e. 

    <%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %>

after which, all I need to do to use autocomplete is a simple
definition...

<%= text_field_with_auto_complete :placement, :cmwholename, {} %>

and of course, have the necessary code in the controller to handle it.

That is what I''ve done.  What I pasted above is the resulting code 
generated and sent to the browser.  I have the following in a file 
called _form.rhtml generated from a scaffold and further modified.

<%= text_field_with_auto_complete :incident, :first_party_name
%></p>

The thing is this worked fine before.  Now I don''t even get an error in
the JS console.
