I, I'm beginning in Rails and would like to know how to do 2 stuffs : 1) Using autocomplete or a select combo (specially auto_complete) for searching data and then opening the results in the partial list (I would like to use that because I have a view and edit link in the list.rhtml) 2) I would like to use auto_complete instead of a select box (since i have just too much data) so I would need to record the id of an object let's say i have student : id, name class : id, student_id, whatever I would like to save the student_id in the class _form, using auto complete wich would load the student name, is it possible ? Thanks in advance !

I have the same problem, I think you have to do 1) passing in the controller the fields you want ...
