Hi all, I have a simple app that has an autocomplete textfield in my view. I now want to be able to pass the value of a select to my controller when my auto_complete_for_location_name is called.

I''m trying to implement Autocomplete on my site and allow customers to search for restaurants by name or city all from one search box.

I have an autocomplete field with road names (looking up in a database with approx. 100,000 road names). To limit the number of roads, i want an extra input field where to put postal code. I''m currently using <%= text_field_with_auto_complete %> for the field. What is the best way in Rails to intercept the Ajax call and send the value of the postal_code field? (I guess I could do

I''m trying to humanize() the results that appear in the autocomplet drop down list. First i customised the controller. In the render line on the controller it is saying "i want to use locality on each of the @items". So locality is what i want to humanize".

Good day. Currently I have a system that will successfully add a row to a table. Each row in this table will represent a new product being added to a purchase order. The user can enter a quantity and then select a product code. The product code is the auto_complete field. This field works. However, once the user selects a product code then the values for the product description, buy price, and

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. I''ve broken it down and made a test page at http://realty.colemanation.org/houses/test which shows the behavior I''m having problems with. For me on Windows XP this page works

In FF 2.x if you turn off autocomplete on an input field it triggers an undesired side effect. Pressing UP and DOWN now move the cursor to the left and right. This only happens in FF and only with autocomplete off. This does not play well with script.aculo.us AutoCompleters. I need a way to force the cursor to the end of the input string whenever UP or DOWN is pressed. Is this possible? Thanks,

Hi, I have an app, which implements a group feature. Each group has n members. Also, each group has a group specific profile pic to it. I have been able to implement auto complete for the group feature keeping in mind the group name alone.

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

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]"

Hi, I''m trying to get autocomplete to work but have been having some problems. It seems that Ajax.Autocompleter(...) is not getting called.

The form is actually a style submission form, but allows users to create new brands or models as well, should they not exist.
