Hello everybody,

I am new to ruby on rails, I am trying to create an auto\_complete field on Ruby on Rails 2.0 and even though I have installed the auto\_complete plugin and followed the instructions of various tutorials, specially the following: [Trix - Ruby & Javascript Experts](http://trix.pl/blog/auto-complete-for-rails-2-0-tutorial.html)

I am still getting the same error:

undefined method `text\_field\_with\_auto\_complete'

The following is my code:

#view \<%= javascript\_include\_tag :defaults %\> \<%= text\_field\_with\_auto\_complete :partnership, :name, {}, {:method =\> :get} %\>

#Controller def auto\_complete\_for\_partnership\_name end

#Routes.rb map.resources :partnerships, :collection =\> {:auto\_complete\_for\_partnership\_name =\> :get }

At this point i am suspecting it has to do with the version of Script.aculo.us

Thanx
