Hi,
A short question from newbie - hope wouldn't be a problem for you.
I am playing with autocomplete features in rails -
In View: <%= text_field_with_auto_complete :model, :attribute %>
In Controller: auto_complete_for :model, :attribute (found many examples in www)
So far, so gut. Autocomplete works. But I want the following - if I type 'm', only words starting with 'm' to appear. I have the word - 'Belgium' - when I fill 'm' in the field, 'Belgium' is fetched out, cause there is a 'm' in it.
Sorry, should have read your question closer.
This might work:
auto_complete_for :model, :country, :conditions => [ "LOWER(country) LIKE ?", params[:country_field].downcase + '%' ]
If this doesn't work, you might just have to define your own auto_complete_country method (see page 547 in Agile), which is really what auto_complete_for is doing for you anyway.
