Just upgraded to 2.0, I’ve installed the auto\_complete plugin.

When the new event page loads, attached is the error page I get. I’m new  
to Rails so I’m quite stumped.

Please help!!!

I think the image is too small, in which case, the error is…

‘uninitialized constant Mime::CSS’

for the line \<%= text\_field\_with\_auto\_complete :event, :location %\>  
Many thanks

Yeah, I removed 2.0 and the plugin and now it works. Bit of a roundabout  
solution but there we are

Solution:

\<%= text\_field\_with\_auto\_complete :event, :location, {}, :skip\_style  
=\> true %\>

Then this is the default css extracted. You need to include this.

div.auto\_complete ul {  
border:1px solid #888;  
margin:0;  
padding:0;  
width:100%;  
list-style-type:none;  
}  
div.auto\_complete ul li {  
margin:0;  
padding:3px;  
}  
div.auto\_complete ul li.selected {  
background-color: #ffb;  
}  
div.auto\_complete ul strong.highlight {  
color: #800;  
margin:0;  
padding:0;  
}

Works fine. And now you have some control over the CSS.
