Thanks for that, I've managed to get it working now with the rewritten autoCompleteDojo at http://www.makina-corpus.org/2008/10/26/autocomplete-ajax-search-with-dojo-and-zend-framework/, and I've got dropdown dependencies working with a bit of javascript, but now I have one last little problem!
It works perfectly on the New form, but when you try to $form->populate in your Edit controller, the autocomplete fields aren't filled in on the form for editing. How has everyone else solved this one?
