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
