[Rails] text_field_with_auto_complete

[Sébastien Gruhier]

Sorry, I was not very precise

I am on Max OS X - Safari
It's a simple search for people using their lastname. What will be  
perfect is when I click on a name from the result list, I go to the  
update page.


** view
<%= text_field_with_auto_complete :search, :name, { :auto_complete =>  
"off" }, :skip_style => true  %>

** controller
def auto_complete_for_search_name
	search = params[:search][:name]
	@citizens = Citizen.find(	:all, :conditions => [ 'LOWER(lastname)  
LIKE ?','%' + search.downcase + '%' ], :order => 'lastname  
ASC', :limit => 15)
	render :partial => 'found'
end

** partial html
<ul class="search">
   <% for citizen in @citizens.to_a -%>
     <li class="search">
   	  <div class="name"><%=h citizen.lastname %></div>
	</li>
   <% end -%>
</ul>


Thanks
Sébastien
