I''m testing out this new autocomplete helper, but have not had any
success on "custom" autocompletes.
Following the example outlined at
http://script.aculo.us/demos/ajax/autocompleter_customized, I have the
following:
# controller
def auto_complete_for_author_name
@authors = Author.find( :all, :conditions => [''LOWER(last_name)
LIKE '', ''%'' + @params[:author][:name] +
''%'' ], :order => ''last_name
ASC'', :limit => 10 )
render :partial => ''search_results''
end
# view
<html>
<head>
<%= javascript_include_tag "prototype" %>
<%= javascript_include_tag "controls" %>
<%= javascript_include_tag "effects" %>
</head>
<body>
Author Search:
<%= text_field_with_auto_complete( :author, :name, {}, :skip_style => true
) %>
</body>
</html>
# _search_results.rhtml (partial)
<ul class="authors">
<% for author in @authors do -%>
<li class="author">
<div class="name"><%= author.name %></div>
</li>
<% end -%>
</ul>
When I type something in the text field, I get a JS error:
Error: element.className has no properties
Source File: http://www.mydomain.com/javascripts/prototype.js
Line: 456
It seems it is trying to remove the class name from one of the
elements, but I can''t tell which one, and why it is failing. Anyone
have any idea what I''m doing wrong here?

Hi, as I cannot recreate this problem, can you put up a live version somewhere? Maybe PM me on the IRC channel. thx, Thomas Am 07.07.2005 um 16:31 schrieb Belorion:> I''m testing out this new autocomplete helper, but have not had any > success on "custom" autocompletes. > > Following the example outlined at > http://script.aculo.us/demos/ajax/autocompleter_customized, I have the > following: > > # controller > def auto_complete_for_author_name > @authors = Author.find( :all, :conditions => [''LOWER(last_name) > LIKE '', ''%'' + @params[:author][:name] + ''%'' ], :order => ''last_name > ASC'', :limit => 10 ) > render :partial => ''search_results'' > end > > # view > <html> > <head> > <%= javascript_include_tag "prototype" %> > <%= javascript_include_tag "controls" %> > <%= javascript_include_tag "effects" %> > </head> > <body> > Author Search: > <%= text_field_with_auto_complete( :author, :name, {}, :skip_style > => true ) %> > </body> > </html> > > > # _search_results.rhtml (partial) > <ul class="authors"> > <% for author in @authors do -%> > <li class="author"> > <div class="name"><%= author.name %></div> > </li> > <% end -%> > </ul> > > > When I type something in the text field, I get a JS error: > > Error: element.className has no properties > Source File: http://www.mydomain.com/javascripts/prototype.js > Line: 456 > > It seems it is trying to remove the class name from one of the > elements, but I can''t tell which one, and why it is failing.

hi,
I''ve read on the ml about an issue on "autocomplete js
error". I''ve
got the same error:
Error: element.className has no properties>
Source File: http://www.mydomain.com/javascripts/prototype.js>
Line: 456
I''m almost sure I''ve followed all the steps. I''ve
checked everything
twice and I still can''t figure out why I get the error...
This is in the view where the input is supposed to autocomplete:
<input autocomplete="off" id="cliente_ragionesociale"
name="cliente[ragionesociale]" size="15"
type="text" />
<div class="auto_complete"
id="cliente_ragionesociale_auto_complete">
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">new
Ajax.Autocompleter(''cliente_ragionesociale'',
''cliente_ragionesociale_auto_complete'',
''/opzioni/auto_complete_for_cliente_ragionesociale'', {})
</script>
The prototype js file is
headed with:
Prototype JavaScript framework, version 1.3.1
I''ve got the same Belorion''s problem, I was wondering if you
were able
to help him.
Thanks for your help.
Enrico

Today I''ve created a brand new project trying to setup the autocomplete and I''ve found out a bad huge error: I was assuming that .search written in the example was a standard method. It wasn''t, and that error was messing up and creating the js error. the end :-) Enrico -- "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" Edmund Burke
