hi chaps, this is probably just my lack of wetware cpu but I'm not understanding how to use autocomplete, or even whether it should be the solution for my situation. What I'm dealing with is...
a Project has_many :engineers, :through => :assignments So by default I end up with an edit form for project with an ajax sub- form to add assignments - the subform has a dropdown list of engineers.So far so good - but with lots of engineers I'd prefer the user to type part of the engineer's name and select from a subset. So first of all, I think this is a case for autocomplete - is that correct? Then if so I think I add autocomplete to AssignmentsController ... autocomplete :engineer But then what? So far the dropdown is still a dropdown. Do I need to work with the view somehow? The only documentation seems to be as follows - Hobo at Work dCH5 oesn't say what to do to the view - Rapid Rails With Hobo doesn't mention autocomplete -The Agility section on this seems to be doing something too complex for my tiny brain any help gratefully received Paul -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hobo Users" group.
