Please forgive me.. but I should have provided the actual example of what im using (code originally from the demo page)
<input autocomplete="off" id="contact_name" name= "contact[name]" size="30" type="text" value="" />
<div class= "auto_complete" id="contact_name_auto_complete"></div>
< script type="text/_javascript_">
new Ajax.Autocompleter.Local('contact_name', 'contact_name_auto_complete',
new Array("Jack Jackson","BoB Smith", "Mary Jane"),
{
tokens: new Array(',','\n'), fullSearch: true, partialSearch: true}
};
</script>
but what i need is to display Jack Jackson.. but return a key from a value from the db. IE if Jackjackson id # is 234
Thanks so much for any input :)

you could try returning the options that way:
<option><span style="display: none">234</span><span class="informal">228282SSS</span></option>
This should display 228282SSS but fill the field 234 when it is selected

http://demo.script.aculo.us/ajax/autocompleter
I have a question in reqards to the above demo...
I have a list of alphanumeric values that I need in the drop down.. however...
I need the ID numbers that are pulled from the db that related to each of the paticular numbers to
be placed as the value... ie:
<option value=234>228282SSS</option>
I would like the userver to search the list based on the 228282SSS but the value is what is returned (234) !
is this possible.. and if so.. how ?
Thanks so much for your time
