Florian has already mentioned that the autocomplete.js file will be generated from the patch in the next step. Again there are two distinctly different steps to follow here (1) download and install plugin from squirrelmail.org forum (2) download and install patch from qv90.de. The .js file will only be created in the second step, which is why you were told to first perform the *FIRST* step, otherwise you cannot progress to the next one. > FYI, I downloaded the "autocomplete.2.0-1.0.0" plugin from: > http://squirrelmail.org/plugin_download.php?id=32&rev=618 > > This tar.gz does not contain any *.js file at all!

The - basic - steps to follow are: (1) download and install plugin from squirrelmail.org (2) download and install patch from squirrelmail forum These are two distinct, separate things. When you deal with "patches" you first have to understand how to apply them. You have already been given basic instructions for this by Florian: [snip] 4. If you want to install a patch file you should download the file to a location of your choice. 5. To apply the patch, switch to your SquirrelMail installation directory and use the patch command. $ cd <sm directory> $ patch -p0 < <location and name of diff file> [snip] You have been given instructions that, granted, may seem a bit confusing to you but you're not following them in proper order because you lack understanding of what you are doing. If you need help in understanding patches read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_patch (general explanation) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patch_%28Unix%29 (unix-specific) The instructions how to install a patch file are also on qv90.de, on the same page where you can download the plugins.
