Christophe,
Thanks for this information - I got it working great now.
I had some trouble getting the :select option to pick out the <span>
that I was after, but I soon worked out that the syntax for the
autocomplete was:-
<% text_field_with_auto_complete :model, :column, {}, :select =>
"myspan" %>
I didnt realise that you needed the empty braces '{}' after the column
name to get the parameters in the right order.
Thanks again for your help - I appreciate it.
