Rails - Jul 2006 - text_field_with_auto_complete problem

hello all,

I am trying to get a customized text_field_with_auto_complete working 
where  the generated dropdown will display not only the list of teams 
(first line), but also their city and country(second line).

In my view, I have:
 <p>
<label for="team_name">Team: </label>
<%= text_field_with_auto_complete :team, :name, {}, :skip_style => true 
%>
</p>


In controller:

def auto_complete_for_team_name
  unless request.get?
  search = ''%'' + params[:team][:name].downcase +
''%''
  @teams = Team.find(:all, :conditions => [''LOWER(name) LIKE ? or 
LOWER(short_name) like ?'', search, search],
                           :order => ''name ASC'')
  end
  render :partial => ''auto_complete_for_team_name''
end

and in the partial (_auto_complete_for_team_name.rhtml), I have:
<ul>
<% for team in @teams do -%>
   <li>
        <div class="first_line"><%=h team.name.camelcase
-%></div>
        <div class="second_line"><%=h
team.city.name.camelcase -%> -
<%=h team.city.country.name.camelcase -%>
   </li>
<% end -%>
</ul>

and it all works with the exception that when I select on of the items 
from the ajax generated dropdown, the value that gets inserted in the 
the text field has extra spaces on the left (firefox). Safari does not 
even display the selected value in the text field.

I suspect this to be a css issue but I tried every combination and 
nothing seems to work.

I also defined the div.auto_complete etc styles as they are by default 
in my css file.


If anyone had a similar problem or knows what the fix is, I would 
definitely appreciate the help.

Thanks a lot,
Cagan
