Hi Juan. As I'm fairly new to RoR I may not be the right one to solve your problem. But since you ask so direct here is what I did: I got inspired by (more or less copied) this example: http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk/browse_thread/thread/65f6f9011fa78b41/d45c3f04c2eacf4a?lnk=gst&q=text_field_with_auto_complete#d45c3f04c2eacf4a Especially this part about the "auto_complete" method: def auto_complete_for_person_name @people = Person.find(:all, :conditions => ["name LIKE ? AND org = ?", "#{params[:person] [:name]}%", params[:person][:org]], :order => "name ASC") unless @people.blank? render :inline => "<%= content_tag(:ul, @people.map{|person| content_tag(:li, h(person)) }) %>" else render :inline => "" end end Remember I'm using Rails ver 1.2.6 - so it may not work for your version. Good Luck!
