Hello all, I'm hoping to use the Ajax.Autocompleter to help users send private messages to other users on my site. As the user types in the name of another user, Ajax.Autocompleter steps in and offers a few relevant options to help them along. Once they find the right one, Scriptaculous makes it a breeze for them to select it and enter it into the input field.
I'd like to take this one more step, however, and make note of the user id (the primary key associated with the name they selected from the database) as an invisible field or javascript variable. With this, it would be simple to send the private message to the appropriate user id. The problem is that since the backend side of Ajax.Autocompleter returns an unordered list, I don't know how/ where to store the id numbers, or how the form could track that somehow. All help is welcome. Thanks everyone! -Colin _______________________________________________ Rails-spinoffs mailing list Rails-spinoffs@lists.rubyonrails.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails-spinoffs
