After a long search for a tutorial that could show me how too use the
rails auto-complete with belongs_to fields, i found several pieces here
and there that helped me figure out the solution to my problem.

So I decided to share it with you as a small contribution to the rails
community. Look for it at:

I use a very common case when you have a country model and a customer
model which belongs_to country, that is, it contains a country_id key.

So, in this tutorial I explain how can you use an auto-complete field to
select the customer country, but after selecting an option updating the
customer record with the corresponding country_id.

I hope you find it useful.
