Yes of course you can do it.I did it recently, and I did it using jQuery with the plugin - http://dyve.net/jquery/?autocomplete I exposed the right JSON API''s from my rails application and I had to tweak the plugin a bit to suit my needs but it works great. There are other jQuery plugins you could have a look at too. Thanks & Regards, Dhruva Sagar.

I would begin here: http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=rails+autocomplete&aq=f&aqi=g10&fp=c9fe100d9e542c1e As a personal note, I find that autocomplete works well for smaller, defined sets of possible inputs. People''s names can be, well, almost anything, and I find autocomplete obtrusive in those cases. It''s not really saving me anything. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
Rails has scriptaculous and prototype built in and there are helpers for autocomplete already. Have a look at the API documentation for autocomplete.
