Where is this functionality moved to for Rails 3? I assume I’m no  
longer supposed to script/install this…

More importantly, how should I have been able to figure this out on my  
own?

oops rails 3 is javascript framework agnostic, i think all of that has  
been  
moved out to gems, in favor of freedom of choice.

The functionality didn’t go away in prototype, I assume -  
text\_field\_with\_auto\_complete should still exist somewhere for rails  
3, no? The rails3-jquery gem seems to be a totally different beast.

Hello

Here is a good option you could use:
