Hello! Thank you for your reply. Sorry if my post was messy. I will try to reformulate a little to see if I am able to make my problem possible to understand.
What I want to do is to have a table that can be edited (possible to add and remove rows using Prototype) and in in the fields in this table I want to use auto suggest (auto suggest is probably the right term instead of auto complete as I wrote previously). When the user starts typing something in a field, suggestions with entries already existing in the database are shown in a list. So the database is not modified in any way by the auto suggest. However, when I add a new field to my table by using prototype, the auto suggest does not work in the modified parts of the table. I have confirmed the the code in the modified table is correct, but auto suggest does not work there. I then found the site: http://www.prototypejs.org/api/ajax/updater. An excerpt from that page about evalScripts and defining functions says: "The local scope will be that of Prototype's internal processing function. Anything in your script declared with var will be discarded momentarily after evaluation, and at any rate will be invisible to the remainder of the page scripts." From that I thought that the modified part of the table is probably invisible to the rest of my page, where I for example have my auto suggest script located. I am not sure this conclusion is correct, but it agrees well with what I have seen. Any comments about that?
