typed any characters into the text field?

I apprecated …

\<%= javascript\_include\_tag “prototype” ,“effects” %\>

\<%= stylesheet\_link\_tag ‘autocomplete’ %\>

\<%= error\_messages\_for :team -%\>

\<%= form\_tag(:controller =\> “portal”, :action =\>  
“fire\_portal\_selection” ) -%\>

```
<table>

    <tr>

        <td style="text-align:center;">
            <img width=250 height=99 src="/images/

```

logo\_google\_suggest.gif"/\>

```
    </tr>

    <tr>
        <td>
            <center>
                <table>
                    <tr style="text-align:center; vertical-

```

align:middle;height: 50px;"\>

```
                        <td style="width: 80px;">

                            <%= text_field "portal",

```

“searchtext”, :size =\> 40 -%\>

```
                            <img id="ajax-loader" src="/images/

```

ajax-loader.gif" style=“display:none;”/\>

                            <%=

```

auto\_complete\_field :portal\_searchtext,  
:url =\>{ :controller =\> “portal”,  
:action=\>“venue\_site\_live\_search”},  
:frequency =\> 0.2,  
:indicator =\>“ajax-loader”,

```
                        </td>

                    </tr>
                </table>
            </center>
        </td>
    </tr>

    <tr>

            <%= submit_tag(:Welcome) -%>
        </td>

    </tr>

</table>
