Rails - Nov 2005 - element.className has no properties

In trying to use the text_field_with_auto_complete I am not getting my
partial to render from my auto_complete_responder_for method. If I render it
inline, the data shows up fine but I get the Javascript error "
element.className has no properties" when I try to render my partial
instead
of inline. Even if nothing is in the partial, I still get that error.
I''m
not getting which element doesn''t have the class name. Here''s
my relevant
code...
 my find.rhtml template...

<h1>find someone</h1>

<%= text_field_with_auto_complete :user, :name, :skip_style => true
%><br/>

  my users controller

def find

end

def auto_complete_for_user_name
auto_complete_responder_for_users params[:user][:name]
end

private
def auto_complete_responder_for_users(value)
@users = User.find(:all,
:conditions => [ ''LOWER(name) LIKE ?'',
''%'' + value.downcase + ''%'' ],
:order => ''name ASC'',
:limit => 8)
render :partial => ''users''
#render :inline => "<%= auto_complete_result @users,
''name'' %>" (this works)
end

 my _users.rhtml partial

<%= error_messages_for ''user'' %>

<!--[form:user]-->
<ul class="users">
<% for user in @users do -%>
<li class="user">
<%=h user.name <http://user.name> %>

</li>
<% end -%>
</ul>

<!--[eoform:user]-->

  If I should just render inline, how do I pass more than one parameter so I
can render mulitple elements inline?

 Thanks!

    render :partial, :collection=>[ ..array of objects... ]

if you wanted to pass in variables that have local scope you can do:
    render :partial, :locals => { key=>val, key2=>val }
that will give you the ability in you partial to access @key and @key2 
as local variables.

No good. I tried
 render(:partial => ''users'', :collection=>@users )
 and
 render :partial, :collection=>@users
 even
  render :inline=>"<%= auto_complete_result @users,
''name'', :collection=>[
user.name <http://user.name>, user.yahoo] %>"
  but I would still get the element.ClassName error. The page loads but when
it goes to submit values to the server or when it attempts to display the
div, I get that error. The only way I can get anything to display is
  render :inline=>"<%= auto_complete_result @users,
''name'' %>"
