Is there a way to get 2 autcompleters using the same fields to work on  
the same page? I have something similar to twitter autocomplete at  
the top of the form and I am also trying to get another one working  
for an inline edit.

I am getting this for one of the autocomplete id:

I am trying to ajax send the text field to the server and remove the  
text  
fro the field upon rjs send back. How do I figure out what that number  
comes from so I can reference it for the ajax send and text field clear?
