This may be more of an Ajax question than a Rails question, but I''m pretty new to Rails and know approximately zero JS. I''d love if someone could give me a little direction. I''m using pat shaughnessy''s nested text_field_with_auto_complete plugin, and it seems to be *mostly* working properly (after many hours of fiddling). However, the drop-down box is not

Hello All: I have set up an auto_complete search field within my application controller and application layout so that it is available to all pages in my app. I have run into a snag with this in two projects I am working on where it won''t work on one particular page related to a specific controller. I get a No Method error on the column name referenced in the auto_complete

Hi, this is my first post. I have run: $ ruby script/plugin -v install auto_complete but the result is: Plugin not found: ["auto_complete"] #<Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory - /dev/null> I have also try to run: $ ruby script/plugin -v list and the result is: Discovering plugins in http://dev.rubyonrails.com/svn/rails/plugins/ /CHANGELOG /account_location/

I am trying to get more out of auto_complete than it apparently was designed to deliver. My problems seem to be two fold. 1 - I use aggregations on names... :first_name, :middle_initial, :last_name and then aggregate them using a composed_of :wholename thing auto_complete_for seems to be wired to only use table columns directly and gags on the aggregate form. 2 - foreign table columns -

Hi all ! I began to develop Rails applications with Aptana Radrails under Windows. For that I had successfully installed auto_complete plugin and succeeded to use it. Now I have an iMac and I''m trying to restart my developments under OS X. My problem is: when I run the command ''script/plugin install auto_complete'', the result is: Plugin not found:

I think the second most useful usage of the auto_complete is for editing relations (associations). I''ve searched for almost a week on all RoR resources but I didn''t found any solution to this problem. Instead I''ve discovered that there are many looking for this. I think that this problem must be clearly solved and the clear how-to should published on one-more RoR

hi guys I am trying to work the AJAX text_field auto_complete and I was wondering if someone can show me a sample code of how it works thanks I really appreciate it -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m looking for a wiki / example of how to use auto_complete with 2 different tables so you can use the values in the column of one table to provide a value for a column in a related table. This concept apparently comes after my Agile book and is important to me and I would think should be important to others and I simply cannot make it work. Anyone have a reference they can point me

Hi, Trying to use the auto_complete options of :on_show and :on_hide.... ......, :on_hide => "function(element, update) {allow_change_control(true);} " but when I do this it runs my js function but the div doesn''t hide. I would like the auto_complete to work normally and just run a js function which sets a js variable. Any suggestions Thanks

I think I may have found a bug with the auto_complete feature in rails: My controller has a before_filter with an except clause preventing the filter from running on a specific action. The action renders a view with a text_field_with_auto_complete field. Much to my suprise, the filter appears to run when I type data into this field! The filter is part of my security regime, so I end up with a

Hi, This is probably as much a script.aculo.us issue as much as a Rails one. The default behaviour of the AJAX auto_complete control seems to be to select the first match from the list when tab is pressed. Is there a way to configure the control to leave the typed text unchanged when the user types tab and just move the focus to the next control in the form? Thanks, Geoff -- Posted via

List, I''m using auto_complete with textfield, called CompanyCode. so when you type fx ''0403'' it will show a list with matching company codes, and the respective company name - like so: 040333 - Some company inc 040322 - Another company 040323 - whatever Corp. Anyway, once a user selects one of the entries from the list - the whole text (name and code) is put into

pulling my hair out on this because I don''t understand... I have 2 methods/actions in the same ''placements'' controller that I am concerned with... find, works properly... view code from find.rhtml <td><p><label>Client</label><br/> <%= text_field_with_auto_complete :placement, :clwholename, {} %> </p> </td>

I''m using the acts_as_taggable gem (who''s site has gone AWOL apparently) and I''m wanting to make it autocomplete. I, however, am the absolute worst JavaScript person ever, so is there anyone out there that can point me to a tutorial or give some good starting points? Thanks!

Hi, Have an issue with the rails auto complete, it works fine but I don''t know how to find the id element search in the textfield. Here is what I''ve done: <%= text_field_with_auto_complete :user, :ville_name, { :size => 15 }, { :url => formatted_villes_path(:js), :method => :get, :param_name => ''search'' } %> Model: class User <

Hi, I am trying to create a basic form in which I want one of the fields initialized before displaying it.

I''ve got a form with a paginator and I''d like to save the contents of the form whenever the user moves to a different page. Since the form contents aren''t submitted when a link is clicked, I thought I''d just change the action of the form to the URL of the paginator link and then submit the form using form.submit(). The form submits but I keep getting a 404
