I wrote some codes to generate a input field with auto complete  
functionality, these codes work well in a regular form, the codes are:

=========================================================

# \<%= auto\_complete\_field( “vc\_container\_no”, :frequency =\> 0.01, :min\_chars =\> 2, :url=\>{:action=\>‘autocomplete\_vc\_cno’, :cno=\>‘OO’}, :tokens =\> ‘,’) %\>

However, when I use the same codes inside a :partial and render them  
with a  
collection, the input field still there, but the auto complete function  
no longer exist. At first I was suspecting that the problem come from  
the duplicate IDs of the and the

 after rendering the  
collection, so I add a unique no. after the IDs, but it stills doesn’t  
work.

I have worked on this problem the whole week but can not find solution,  
anyone have some idea about that? or has a sucessful experience of  
rendering :partial with auto\_complete\_field inside?

Thanks in advance.

# index.html.erb:

 \<%= render(:partial =\> "voyage\_container", :collection =\> @voyage\_containers) %\>

# \_voyage\_container:

\<% @vc = voyage\_container %\>

 ... ...
# the auto\_complete\_field generate:

```
<script type="text/javascript">

```

//

Sorry, the codes are ugly, as I am very new to Ror…

Are you using Ruby 1.9.1?  
I have the same problem when using 1.9.1 but not with 1.8.6 which works  
as it is supposed to.
