</div>

The following code works fine for all browser except Opera…  
Opera does not update the textfield selection when I select one of the  
item from the pop-up list and press “Enter”…

Is there any way I could force the broswer to update the selected item  
into params  
before calls into action so this way it will work under Opera also?

any help is appreciated…

 \<%= text\_field "portal", "searchtext" - %\>

```
                            <div class="auto_complete"

```

id=“portal\_searchtext\_auto\_complete”\>

```
                            </div>

                            <%=

```

auto\_complete\_field :portal\_searchtext,  
:url =\>{:controller=\> ‘portal’,  
:action =\> ‘venue\_site\_live\_search’ },  
:frequency =\> 0.2,  
:update
