Xavier,
How did you do the onblur handler?
This is how I did it:
input id="CompanyName" type="text" value="" autocomplete="off"
onblur="checkcompany()" size="40" name="data[Company][name]"/>
Are you suggesting another way. Please excuse me because I am very
new to AJAX. I was thinking that when I tabbed off this field, even
though I select something or not it will shoot off the onblur event.
Right now it will get into a loop when I select an item.
Thanks for the info.
