Just in case, model_auto_completer addresses this use case. You autocomplete a belongs_to association and get an ID or else (if :allow_free_text), get a new value. > _list.html.erb > <ul> > <%- for contact in @contacts do -%> > <li> > <div><%=h contact.name %></div>|<div><%=h contact.email %></div>| > <div><%=h contact.company.name %></div> > </li> > <%- end -%> > </ul> Try removing the DIVs somehow, sometimes even spaces around a LI content may result in weird behaviour in some browsers. Once you get it working, add stuff incrementally. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
