With Autocompleter.Local, it comes from a JS array in your page. With Ajax.Autocompleter, it is provided by a URL in your app, which takes one parameter (the default name is that of your text field, but can be customized), and produces a <ul>/<li> list of results. It's all there, with all the necessary details: http://wiki.script.aculo.us/scriptaculous/show/Ajax.Autocompleter The wiki also provides you with basic styling for that result, so you obtain a decent aspect. -- Christophe Porteneuve a.k.a.
