Hi, I’ve created some extensions to [script.aculo.us](http://script.aculo.us) InPlaceEditor, allowing the use of either server-driven, or local autocompletion. I’ve also created new helper methods in Rails for this functionality. My question is, is there any interest that I package this and make it available as a plugin, or something like that? ## Regards Ola B.

The fact that you’ve implemented local autocompletion is of great value to me since I’ll be doing autocompletion on a small (\< 50) set of tags. TIA alex BTW Beware of Jönsan in the summer;) ---

I will make some kind of proper announcement when I’ve done that. The svn is [http://svn.ki.se/rails/plugins/in\_place\_completer](http://svn.ki.se/rails/plugins/in_place_completer) And you use it by adding this to your head: \<%= javascript\_include\_tag :defaults %\> \<%= in\_place\_completer\_include %\> There is only a helper for the local-completion right now, but the other will come _very_ soon. The Ajax component is there, though. An example of using the local completing editor can look like this: \<%= in\_place\_local\_completing\_editor\_field :person, :name, %w(Ola Ezra Gedas Steve) %\> Where the params are: object\_name, field\_name, completions, tag\_options, editor\_options, completer\_options where completions should be an array of values, tag\_options are the same as tag\_options for in\_place\_editor\_field, editor\_options accept the same as in\_place\_editor\_field and completer\_options the same as text\_field\_with\_auto\_complete. ## Enjoy Ola B.
