Hello, I am trying to get autocomplete to save record ID. I have to tables: Students and Departments. Students table has department_id field. Department table has 2 fields: id and name I set up belongs_to: and  has_many: entries in the models of each. In my _form.rhtml I have the autocomplete line that is working: <%= text_field_with_auto_complete :department, :name %> ie.

All, I''m trying to get autocomplete to work for the first time. I''m not sure if I''m doing this right or not. I have a table where one of the fields is a employees name. I expect a relatively small collection of person''s names will be used. I created a simple employees table with just 2 fields: id, and name. Then in my main table I added a employee_id field

How do I validate that a model object''s attribute is a valid foreign key? The problem is, I can''t check if the attribute is a valid foreign key if the attribute doesn''t even exist. For example, every employee must be in a department. In the following code, if an employee''s department_id is not present then Department.find_by_id(department_id) might cause

I am trying to do a similar thing for some spares that I am trying to manage... My spare.rb file is as under class Spare < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :department, :class_name => ''department'', :foreign_key => ''department_id'' belongs_to :subequipment, class_name => ''subequipment'', :foreign_key =>

When I upgraded to 1.0, I broke autocomplete on a field. I''ve done everything that I can think of to fix the problem, but nothing has worked. I''m able to recreate a simple autocomplete from examples on the various tutorials, but my original code just will not work. <input id="incident_first_party_name" name="incident[first_party_name]"

I''ve got a search field on my site that uses an autocomplete to match against search terms already input by the same user. That''s working perfectly. However, I''d like to provide a little button next to the search field that triggers the autocomplete, so that the users can "browse" the list of past search terms. This behavior would be in addition to the

I have a working Rails app with several related tables, but can''t find an answer to this question in the Dave Thomas Rails book. Imagine for example: table departments with columns: id, department_name table employees with columns: id, department_id, employee_name and of course the employees table has a constraint foreign key (department_id) references departments(id) So this is

I''m absolutely in love with the incremental autocomplete feature in the new scriptaculous. My one wish would be for some way of disabling the TAB key to prevent users from being able to tab out of an autocompleting textarea. (If they''re using TAB to select the autocomplete choice they end up tabbing straight out of the input field if autocomplete doesn''t find any

Hi, I''m new to all this so if this is a daft question sorry. I''m using Ajax Autocomplete to populate a search box with likely matches. These results need to be filtered by an option from a select box that is alongside the search box. As the current Autocomplete function only takes in one id to post to the search file, i figured i could post more stuff to the Ajax.Autocompleter

I noticed that the latest control.js disables auto complete: this.element.setAttribute(''autocomplete'',''off''); So I removed my inline "autocomplete=''off''" from my input fields. But Firefox still auto completes. Using the Firefox DOM Inspector I do see that it''s applied by Ajax.Autocompleter as expected. The Inspector

Hi, I know that to make a dropdown box automatically submit when you change the value, you do this: <select ..... onchange="this.form.submit();"> BUT i''ve got an ajax form, and if i do the above trick, it simply reloads the ajax partial into the whole screen, rather than into the div where it is meant to go. I''ve already got it all working so that if you click

Hi, There are many companies. Each company has many departments. Each department has many employees. The following find_by_sql method seems awful. What is the best way to get all the employees of a company? class Company < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :departments def employees Employee.find_by_sql("SELECT employees.* FROM companies, departments, employees

I was trying to follow along on the github example (https://github.com/crowdint/rails3-jquery-autocomplete) for building an autocomplete and ran into a small set of problems. I''m not using the exact names of models, but I suppose I could. It''s just a dummy set. For me: Model is Package and attribute is Brand. I don''t understand what the reference to class

I have a form for submission of brand, model, and style. Style belongs_to model, and model belongs_to brand. The form is actually a style submission form, but allows users to create new brands or models as well, should they not exist. What I want is for the autocomplete for ''model'' to populate when an object for ''brand'' is selected in the first text field..

Has anyone tried putting an autocomplete field inside a table? I can do this successfully within FireFox, but in IE, it just doesn''t render the "drop-down" autocomplete div. Unfortunately, I don''t understand enough about why IE doesn''t work to know how to fix it. My autocomplete div CSS is: div.auto_complete { position: fixed; border: 1px solid #eee;

I have a large certifications table that I would like to have a little more controll over, it is part of a HABTM relationship. ----------------------------------- db''s (simplified) >certifications id course >employees id department_id type_id name >departments id name >types id kind >certifications_employees certification_id employee_id

Hi all, I have a page in which a div is updated with some html via Ajax. The returned html contains an autocomplete field. The autocomplete field works but the drop down results div does not get css applied to it so the selections don''t get highlighted when I use the up/down arrows and so I am unable to select from the drop down except for the first item. I have been looking at this in

Hi Rails gals n guys I am trying to enhance the "Lightning-Fast JavaScript Autocompletion" rails recipe. For those that do not have the pdf-book the recipe explains how to use a javascript array for an auto-complete text field. I want to combine this with the in_place_editor call. My current (unworking) code: <!-- Load the array for autocomplete --> <script

If I am using the autocomplete plugin, and I have a text field specified in a form that incorporates autocomplete, such as: <%= text_field_with_auto_complete :doctor, :organization, :autocomplete => "off" %> how can I put javascript event handlers to if (e.g. keypress, onchange, etc.) ? WHat I really want to do is call a method in my controller if either: 1. The text field is
