@Xavier I used a solution i had for auto_complete for the results. But there are a few issues like the options list does not go away when the user selects an option. I either need to press "esc" or click on some other part of the page for that to go away. And i cant use the mouse to select an option from the options list. it shows up on the text field and then automatically deletes itself if i use the mouse. Also, for this, <%= belongs_to_auto_completer :reminder, :contact, :name%> can you show me an example of how to use :after_update_element. The functionality i need is this. Once an option is chosen, using the chosen contact, i want to query the contact's employer's details and display them on an adjacent div. Something like @company = current_user.companies(params[:contact.company_id]) where im expecting contact to be passed in by after_update_element. I understand its a JS function. I dont know anything about JS. Least of all, writing functions in JS. I realise im slowly getting confused with my requirements and which methods to use here. Pl excuse me if i am not making myself clear. Thanks for all the help!
