Hi David, I've tried to extend the class using the methods shown on these two websites:
http://techno-weenie.net/2006/1/30/extending_autocompleter http://tetlaw.id.au/view/blog/adding-a-local-cache-to-ajaxautocompleter/ This is what I tried, but doesn't seem to work: Autocompleter.Custom = Class.create(); Object.extend(Object.extend(Autocompleter.Custom.prototype, Autocompleter.Base.prototype), { initialize: function(element, update, url, options) { this.baseInitialize(element, update, options); this.options.onShow = this.options.onShow || function(element, update){ if(!update.style.position || update.style.position=='absolute') { update.style.position = 'absolute'; Position.clone(element, update, { setHeight: false, offsetTop: element.offsetHeight+20 }); } Effect.Appear(update,{duration:0.15}); }; }}); I figured the position is being set through the constructor of the class, so I just tried to add another 20 pixels to the offsetTop, to see whether it would move 20px down. But like I mentioned; it throws it can't find getUpdatedChoices function which is being called later on in the class..
