[Rails] Re: Using auto_complete on multiple text_fields within a form

When the user enters the bike's make and model (among other things), I want to make sure that we don't duplicate a brand name (for example: Fuji is a single brand and it would suck to have Fuji, fujee and fUGI in the DB somehow). I've been tinkering with the auto_complete plugin and have managed to get it to work for a single attribute of the bike model. Is there a way to get it to work with multiple fields within the same form? If there's an alternative way to handle this, I'm all ears! Why not just give a select list of the brands.  You can make up a table with all the brands (with maybe an 'other' for strange ones) and make a select list from that that the user can pick from.  That way you will not get alternative versions.
