similar to: multiple text_field_with_auto_complete in IE/Opera

I''m pretty new to ruby and rails and have been racking my brain for a few hours on this one. I have set up a text_field_with_auto_complete and it works great.

Hi all, I''m looking for some insight on why my text_field_with_auto_complete might not work in Internet Explorer. I''m using it in a fairly simple way, without much customization.

Hi everybody, I''d like to add a custom action to be triggered after/when an autocompleted field has been/is beeing updated by the autocompletion process.

Hi, I want to know which of the two methods, auto_complete_field and text_field_with_auto_complete best suits what I am trying to do. I have a model class called search (which doen''t extend ActiveRecord) which holds two parameters, category_string and postcode_string. I want my form to bind its values to these to values.
