Hmmm... you have a point here...
in tacos.js we create script.aculo.us autocompleters using:
new Ajax.Autocompleter(inpId, updId, updUrl, updParams);
and
new Autocompleter.Local(inpId, updId, values, updParams);
and so, we don't store anywhere those references...
And looking at their source, it's not possible to get such a reference
from the 'enhanced' html element.
So, you would like to store those references somewhere, so that users
can get them and use them somehow, correct?
something like dojo does with dojo.widget.manager and dojo.widget.byId
perhaps...
I don't know if it's safe to put them there.
Another solution would be to simply do:
var instance = new Ajax.Autocompleter(inpId, updId, updUrl, updParams);
document.getElementById(inpId).tacosAutocompleter = instance;
What do you think?

Thanks Andy.
I had thought of that workarround, but being the TacosAutocompleter
based on a script.acul.uous Ajax.AutoCompleter widget how can I change
the URL parameter of the widget?
If it were a dojo widget I would now how to get it, but like this
after creating the widget how can I in a JS event get a reference to
it so I can change it?
Maybe I'm being a little newbie in this but honnestly I'm in a bit of
a stall!
Anybody who nows a bit more about this script.acul.uous
Ajax.AutoCompleter widget can help me? Andy, how about that, can you
give me a opinter on this specific issue.

the AutoCompleter in svn trunk supports a 'parameters'
parameter - just like the one found in DirectLink
see

<http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/tacos/trunk/src/java/net/sf/tacos/ajax/components/Autocompleter.jwc?view=markup>
Of course all those additional parameters will be 'static' -
DirectLink has the same
'issue'.
My usual hack for this is to define a dummy placeholder parameter,
i.e. XXX
and use javascript to replace and rewrite the URL...
I've done something similar in tacos:DebugConsole, but please
don't tell anyone :)
If anyone knows a better solution, i'm all ears!
