Anyone know how to use text_field_with_auto_complete in place of f.text_field in the partial?
Using Ryan Bates' example (#75 Complex Forms Part 3 - RailsCasts):
<%= text_field_with_auto_complete :task_attributes, :name, :object => task %>
Here's my problem...
Because it's a partial, the id and name attributes are duplicated for each partial instance, so the autocomplete only works on the first instance of the partial, not to mention it's invalid XHTML to have dupe id's.
Each partial duplicates this:
<li> <label>task:</label> <input id="task_attributes_name" name="task_attributes[name]" size="30" type="text" value="Mow the lawn" /> <div class="auto_complete" id="task_attributes_name_auto_complete"></div> <script type="text/javascript"> //<![CDATA[ var task_attributes_name_auto_completer = new Ajax.Autocompleter('task_attributes_name', 'task_attributes_name_auto_complete', '/projects/auto_complete_for_task_attributes_name', {parameters:'authenticity_token=' + encodeURIComponent('71b4e415efa47b3d43ae291388ea74cf0330d548')}) //]]> </script>
<a href="#" onclick="mark_for_destroy(this); return false;"> <b>remove</b></a> <input id="project_task_attributes__id" name="project[task_attributes][id]" type="hidden" value="1" /> <input class="should_destroy" id="project_task_attributes__should_destroy" name="project[task_attributes][should_destroy]" type="hidden" /> </li>
Thanks, Mark
