What follows is not about formbuilder, since I do not use it. CatalystX::CRUD::YUI uses Rose::HTMLx::Form::Related, which in turn uses Rose::HTMLx::Form::Field::Autocomplete as a special field type. There's even a feature that detects if the autocomplete feature should be turned on automatically for form fields that represent foreign keys. As far as auto-generating your forms from your db schema, Rose::DBx::Garden does that for RDBO. I have some code lying around that does it for DBIC too, but I haven't yet CPAN-ified it (likely under Rose::HTMLx::Form::Generator). If you're interested in that, prod me offlist and I'll try to get to it. -- Peter Karman .
