[web2py] Why does jquery autocomplete not work in subview form after submission?

[Larry Weinberg]

I'm not sure if this is web2py question or javascript related issue.

In an HTML view I am trying to call a subview with a form in it that has a 
jquery
autocomplete attached to a text field in the form.  
I attach the autocomplete like this in the form view's document ready 
function:

$(document).ready(function(){     
$('#autome').autocomplete({
source: function(request, response) {
$.ajax({  url: "/myapp/mycontroller/myautocomplete.json",
data: request,
dataType: "json",
type: "POST",
success: function(data){ response(data.source)}  
})}});
});

It works fine the first time the form is loaded as a subview via LOAD. 
Once the form is processed through self-submission the autocomplete no 
longer works even though 
the ready function is being called again.

I'm loading the view like this:

<div style="position:absolute;top: -8px;width:956px;min-width:956px;">
{{=LOAD('default/ajaxsearch',ajax=True)}}
</div>


If I run the form by itself (not in a LOAD) the autocomplete works before 
and after form submission as expected.

Here is the function for the inner form:

def innerform():
    items=[]
    
form=FORM(DIV(TABLE(TR(INPUT(_name='q',_id="autome",requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY(),_keepvalues=False),
                           INPUT(_type='submit',_value='Search')
                          ))),_method='GET')
    if form.accepts(request.vars,session=None):
        items = doMyStuff()     
    return dict(form=form,items=items)
    
Can anyone tell me why?

Thanks
