Hi friends,  
I was using the rails recipes for the feature called Lightning fast auto  
completer where we search and save the contents to be displayed in the  
JavaScript Array .

something like in some .js file  
var authors = new Array(\<%= @authors.size %\>);  
\<% @authors.each\_with\_index do |author, index| %\>  
authors[\<%= index %\>] = “\<%= author.name %\>”;  
\<% end %\>

and do this in the head section the rhtml file

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

and in the controller  
def authors\_for\_lookup  
@authors = Author.find(:all)  
@headers[’ content-type’] = ’ text/javascript’  
end
