I''d like to know how I can put the id in a field when the user clicks on an autocomplete item. I have a field with autocomplete where I wanna show the name of the user but save on the database the id. My code is the following one: <%= text_field_with_auto_complete :user_id, :name, {:size => 15}, {:url => users_path, :method => :get, :param_name => ''search''} %> Thanks in advance -- *Rodrigo Felix* Web Developer SCJP --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
