digging through the DOM further, I notice that the autocomplete form element creates a div after itself with id="PracticeItemName_autoComplete". It has the same id for each autocomplete form (which would explain why only one works), so I guess my question comes down to:
How can I specify the name of this "helper div" when invoking the $ajax->autoComplete method?
