How do you pass the selected value to the function?
new Ajax.Autocompleter(''text'', ''auto'',
''file'',
{paramName:''autocomplete'', updateElement:sayhi});
function sayhi(???){
alert(???);
}
I''ve tried element and element.value but that didn''t work.

This will *replace* the whole text completion logic that script.aculo.us provides for your text field! Use the afterUpdateElement option. It gets passed two arguments: the auto-completed field, and the <li> that got selected. Have a look at script.aculo.us'' source code (controls.js, around line 250) for clues as to how to play with this <li> to extract data. -- Christophe Porteneuve a.k.a.

A peek at the docs (http://wiki.script.aculo.us/scriptaculous/show/
Ajax.Autocompleter) show the parameter is the selected list element:
an <li> tag. Element.value wouldn''t work--it doesn''t
mean anything
to a list element.
If that doesn''t work, tell us what version of Scriptaculous
you''re
using, and which brower. The Scriptaculous source is pretty
straightforward about calling your custom function with the selected
element passed. Don''t be afraid to dive into the source.
function sayhi (el) {
alert (el +'' : ''+el.innerHTML);
}
