Wim,
I just tried it out, and it works fine for me – if I type a name that
doesn't exist, then that name is submitted.
In the controller:
auto_complete_for :supplier, :name
In the action:
render :text => "Name = #{params[:supplier][:name]}"
And in the view:
<%= text_field_with_auto_complete :supplier, :name %>
If this doesn't help you, maybe you could post some code?
