I've got it working by overriding the Autocomplete mixin and putting the following in the AfterRender (instead of using a json object).

String configS = "{indicator:'" + loaderId + "',frequency:.5,minChars:"
                + minChars
                + ",paramName:\"t:input\",afterUpdateElement:onChosen}";

        _pageRenderSupport.addScript(
"new Ajax.Autocompleter('%s', '%s', '%s', %s);", id, menuId,
                link.toURI(), configS);

Basically, in am just using a String instead of a JSON object to write out the autocomplete parameters... so I can do the quoting as I desire. There is a JIRA for the quoting issue already, and hopefully when it's fixed I can go back to using the default implementation.
Hope that helps.

In 5.0.11 I was unable to find a good extension point for the
autocomplete mixin. The scriptaculous Ajax.Autocompleter does support
updateElement and afterUpdateElement methods, but as far as I can tell
you can't get them into the configuration because the JSONObject
quotes its attributes (making the function into a string). If anyone
has solved that problem I'd love to hear about it.

One option would be to add a change handler to the input field that
the autocomplete is populating. Something like:
$('mytextfield').observe('change', function(theEvent) { /* update
other fields */});

Hope that helps,
Josh

Because I want to update other fields, based on the value that I selected.

How can I do this?
