Trying to use auto\_complete\_for which works fine on my home system.

I see that when I use \<%= javascript\_include\_tag “defaults” %\>  
that when used, the webrick reports  
GET /javascripts/prototype.js  
GET /javascripts/dragdrop.js  
GET /javascripts/effects.js  
GET /javascripts/controls.js

but on the system that I am trying to develop on and doing similarly,  
the webrick only reports  
GET /javascripts/defaults.js  
even though public/javascripts/  
has the other javascripts there in the folder.

I am thinking that this has something to do with why the  
auto\_complete\_for function works on my home system but I have yet to  
make it work on the system I am trying to develop for.

My home system is ruby-1.8.4-1.fc4 # Fedora-Core 4  
my devel system is ruby-1.8.3-2.c2 # CentOS-4

Is this the issue? Why does use of  
\<%= javascript\_include\_tag "defaults %\> seem to call the other  
javascripts on my home system but not on the devel system?

The correct way to include the defaults is with

\<%= javascript\_include\_tag :defaults %\>
