Rails spinoffs - Jan 2006 - script.aculo.us: autocomplete does not work

I copied an exact copy of
"http://demo.script.aculo.us/ajax/autocompleter"
to my harddisc inclusive all .js and .css.

Then I changed "new Ajax.Autocompleter(''contact_name'',
''contact_name_auto_complete'',
''/ajax/auto_complete_for_contact_name'', {})"

 to

"new Ajax.Autocompleter(''contact_name'',
''contact_name_auto_complete'',
''http://demo.script.aculo.us/ajax/auto_complete_for_contact_name'',
{})"

But this doesn''t work. Did I something wrong? How can I debug?

Ajax requests _must_ go to the same domain as the page they''re  
contained in.
So, you can''t call script.aculo.us directly from your script when  
you''re running
it locally.

Thank you!
It woks fine locally when I use a local url, witch contains the 
"<ul><li>answer1</li></ul>"!


Debug

I also found a way of simple debugging:
my search page contains this code:

<input autocomplete="off" id="contact_name"
name="contact[name]"
size="60" value="" type="text">
<div style="position: absolute; left: 155px; top: 303px; width: 206px; 
opacity: 0.99999; display: none;" class="auto_complete" 
id="contact_name_auto_complete">
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
  new Ajax.Autocompleter(''contact_name'',
''contact_name_auto_complete'',
''/ajax/ajaxRequest.php'', {})
</script>

and in my answer page (PHP) I put in top for debug reasons:

echo ''<ul><li>'';
echo var_dump($_REQUEST);
echo ''</li></ul>'';
exit;

So I get an ajax serverside debug information about the request. :)
