Rails spinoffs - Oct 2007 - Strange scroll behavior of Auto Complete inside Active Scaffold.

Hi Everyone.

After a long weekend of testing some stuff out I finally got the auto
suggest working.

I have got a problem however in both IE and Firefox as the drop down
scrolls the page down to the element only when the up arrow is
pressed.

Here is a detailed example.

When I have

<%= text_field_with_auto_complete :product, :colour %>

in my product _form.rhtml override...
... and in my product controller I have

auto_complete_for :product, :colour

This gives the desired drop down. (save and edit transactions not
working just yet but can easily be resolved)

My problem then is this.

The user selects either create / edit product
and browsers down to the colour text field and types "vio" for example
and then magic stuff the auto suggest below displays "daytona violet",
"violet", "dark violet" ...
This is simply magic.
So the user presses the down arrow on his keyboard and arrives at
"dark violet" but then presses up because he rather wants
"daytona
violet" only to find that upon pressing the up arrow on their keyboard
the page scrolls down to that element.

This is my only problem at the moment.

The rest I have cracked (Save and Edit buttons) working aswell.

Can anyone resolve this?

This is a must have for 99% of the applications using Active Scaffold
to speed up and aid in data entry.

Can any of the members or gurus out there tell me why this is
happening and how to resolve it?

I have been stuck on this for a week.

Regards
Uncle Mike

How did you get the saving to work?  I am trying to do the same thing
as you.  Do you have a full example?

The save as I found out is not working properly for me.

But that is not my issue at the moment.

What I really want to get working is the scroll into view on IE.
EG when the user presses the up or down arrow in a scrollable
autocomplete then the new values must come into view without scrolling
the whole page.

Has anyone in the entire world solved this?
