In my act.js, I have:
> $("#suggest").autocomplete("/act");
The act.html file displays with the input box. When I enter, for
example 'a', the following error appears:
> http://127.0.0.1:8080/act?q=a&limit=150
and
> line 2723 in http://127.0.0.1:8080/static/js/jquery-autocomplete/lib/jquery.js
Any idea what's going on?
