I tried posting this in the Ruby on Rails talk group but haven't been
able to get a decent reply. Sorry if this isn't the appropriate place
to be posting this (if someone could tell me where I can post it, I'd
be more than happy to move it).

I can't get the autocomplete feature of script.aculo.us to work. I
have tried every guide I could find and several books to no avail.

As you can probably tell from the code, I'm new to this and just used
the scaffolding feature to setup a framework I was planning on
altering. Things I've tried so far to no avail are removing the
auto_complete function from the controller and removing the
javascript_include_tag from the view. Regardless of those changes,
when I type the first letters of a valid name into the
text_field_with_auto_complete it does not give me any suggestions. Any
help would be most appreciated!

Below are excerpts from my controller and my view file:

##########################
#ErrorsController

  auto_complete_for :error, :name
  # GET /errors
  # GET /errors.xml

    @errors = Error.find(:all)

      format.xml  { render :xml => @errors }
    end
  end

  # GET /errors/1
  # GET /errors/1.xml
  def show
    @error = Error.find(params[:id])

    respond_to do |format|

      format.xml  { render :xml => @error }
    end

        format.html { redirect_to(@error) }
        format.xml  { render :xml => @error, :status

      else
        format.html { render :action => "new" }
        format.xml  { render :xml => @error.errors, :status
=> :unprocessable_entity }
      end
    end
  end

  # PUT /errors/1
  # PUT /errors/1.xml
  def update
    @error = Error.find(params[:id])

    respond_to do |format|
      if @error.update_attributes(params[:error])
        flash[:notice] = 'Error was successfully updated.'
        format.html { redirect_to(@error) }
        format.xml  { head :ok }
      else
        format.html { render :action => "edit" }
        format.xml  { render :xml => @error.errors, :status
=> :unprocessable_entity }
      end
    end
  end

  # DELETE /errors/1
  # DELETE /errors/1.xml
  def destroy
    @error = Error.find(params[:id])
    @error.destroy

    respond_to do |format|
      format.html { redirect_to(errors_url) }
      format.xml  { head :ok }
    end
  end

end
