If I have table user (id, firstname, lastname, age, city)
And form: textboxes for firstname, lastname, age and select for city
Is it possible to auto complete form? Not only firstname or lastname, but full form? So if I enter lastname, and there is only one user with this name, so it auto complete firstname, age and city.

Hello there, Why don't you try a form_observer to do the job?
Simple example: (view) <% form_for :foo, :id => "my_form" %> <%= form.text_field :first_name%> <%= form.text_field :last_name%> <%= form.text_field :age%> <% end %> <%= observe_form :my_form, :frequency => 0.5, :url => {:action => search_result" } %>
(controller) def search_result @foo = User.find(:all, :conditions => ["first_name LIKE ?, last_name LIKE ?",params[:first_name], params[:last_name]]) render view again end
I don't now if what you want to do is a good idea, but.... that is the way I'll do it (what does not mean that is the best way, I'm new in Rails).
