[Rails-spinoffs] Can Ajax.Autocompleter be abused for this?

[Kjell Bublitz]

Thank you! That worked :)
Here is my modified non-rails version (for the records):

        new Ajax.Autocompleter(inputfield, resultfield, baseurl+'search.php',
{
           method:'get', frequency:0, updateElement: function(resultItem) {
                window.location = resultItem.getElementsByTagName
('span')[0].innerHTML;
           }
        });
