similar to: auto complete a text field

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 folks, I''m curious how a lookup with a large group of values would be handled in Rails. For example, I have a (contrived) AnimalType filtering a list of many Animals--more than can be presented comfortably in a dropdown box. Therefore I need to either redirect to another screen to select an animal (returning after the selection is made), or show a dialog--modal or otherwise--to

Can anyone point me in the direction of a good tutorial on visual effects in rails?

Hi, I''m using AutoComplete from script.aculo.us and want to combine this with a call to a database. Is there any work done so far or do I have to implement all on my own. The only thing I have seen is using results from a file on the server. But that is not very handy. Some words to my background. I''m programming for a project at my university. Our aim is to combine the

OK - I know this has been asked before, but I cannot find it in the archives. Forgive me if I''m creating more noise than I should. I want to know the easiest way to deal with this scenario: I have articles. I have categories for the articles. On the form where you write an article, there needs to be a free-form field to entire the category. The create() method will build the

Trying to use Amy Hoy''s ajaxariffic auto_complete methodology and I am getting really close to the end. This is fairly complicated but I will simplify as best I can. My view code is simple... <%= text_field_with_auto_complete ''client'', ''wholename'' %> # wholename is not a column in ''clients'' but rather represents an

Hey People, I''m fairly new to Rails and have perhaps an obvious question. I would like to know if there is a place that I can declare variables and methods that are globally available to all controllers. My main reason for this is I like to auto generate select boxes based off of the contents of a hash and would like to be able to do this in all views in all controllers, so that I do not

Hello everybody. I''m wondering if there is away with scriptaculous to update multiple form fields with data after finishing an autocomplete request. Heres an example. Joe BlowSchmoe fills in his name and starts to type in the customer number, he selects the approprate customer number from autocomplete list, and bam the address associated with the customer number is populated into the

Hello, I''m using scriptaculous library (in symfony) v. 1.6.1 Great library !!!!! I have a problem. While in IE6 it''s all ok (the autocomplete field works perfectly) in FF 1.5.0.2 the field apparently isn''t working.

Hello I found this list on the scriptilicious website. I am looking for some help with the Autocomplete.Local, the only examples I can find are using it with Ruby, can this be used without Ruby with just plain Javascript? Any help would be great, thanks! --louis

I was wondering if someone could help me with an autocomplete problem. I have the autocomplete div receiving a <UL> that looks like: <ul> <li>Name<br>Email</li> </ul> When the user hits enter and the value is filled into the text field it''s putting both the name and email in the field. I just want the name. Funny this works in Firefox but not IE. I

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
