Hi
I think your problem is here in your view :
> <?php echo $ajax->autoComplete('Post/title' ,'/myapps/blog/posts/
> autoComplete');?>
The url you use looks absolute, whereas it should be, as with all Cake
helpers, relative to your app (probably : "/blog/posts/autoComplete")
You should probably remove "echo "in the loop"; as well...
By the way, creating your form will be easier with the form helper:
"<?php $form->create("/posts/autoComplete") ?>"
And last, but not least, for all ajax debugging, I advise you to
install Firebug (https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/1843)
It would have very quickly pointed you to the fact that your ajax
request was returning a 404, and not the page you wanted.
