Hey all,
    When using the Ajax.autocompleter, how would I configure it so that the user is searching based on an entry's name, but once they select an entry, I record the ID?
 
    I have the user entering a person's name in a text box to make it easier to find contacts in a large database.  I know that I can display content that doesn't end up in the textbox by using the "informal" class, but how can I associate the contact's ID with the LI item and have that value be recorded into a hidden field when selected?
 
    Is there an easier way than just putting a hidden, non-standard "contactId" attribute on my LI tags and then using the afterUpdateElement option?
 
Thanks in advance,
Joe
