Rails - Nov 2007 - text_field_with_auto_complete scrollbars

Greetings,

I am using text_field_with_auto_complete to help narrow a long list of
subject headings, about 10,000 in all.  However, I wish to provide a
scrollbar so that users can scroll through a list if there are too
many results returned in the drop down.  Has anyone been able to do
this?  I have and still am searching around but without too much
success.

Regards,
John

The selection list lives in a DIV with a generated ID, class  
"auto_complete", and some inline CSS. You can inspect them with
Firebug.

So, perhaps you could try adding something like

   /* untested */
   #the_generated_id {
     height: something;
     overflow: auto;
   }

to some CSS.

I guess some CSS-fu is needed there, there are guys that know their  
stuff in freenode#css.
