autocomplete for

rubyonrails-talk

I have this code in my view:

<%= text_field_with_auto_complete :client, :name %>

when I submit new, y get:     "client"=>{"name"=>"MSO"}

I want to get:     "repair_ticket"=>{"client_id"=>"??"}

My models are

class Client < ActiveRecord::Base   has_many :repair_tickets end

class RepairTicket < ActiveRecord::Base   belongs_to :client end

How can I do that?

I'm not sure what you're asking but here goes.

They submit :client => {:name => 'john'}

you do

client = Client.find(:first, :include => [:repair_tickets] :conditions => ['name = ?', params[:client][:name]]) client.repair_tickets => what you want?

A bit of a hack, but you could do somthing like this before you save:

@repair_ticket.client_id = params['form_field']['name']
