Hi friends

I have problem with auto\_complete\_field.

I have used auto\_complete\_field with in the remote\_form\_for.  
But when we enter the text in auto\_complete\_field two actions are  
calling

1. auto\_complete\_field action
2. remote\_form\_for action

I need to restrict the form action when we enter text on  
auto\_complete\_field

Could u give any ideas?

\<% remote\_form\_for :filter\_criterion, :html =\> {:id =\>  
filter\_criterion.dom\_id + ‘\_form’ } do %\>

\<%= text\_field :search, :oid, :size =\> 20, :value =\> result %\>

  
\<%= auto\_complete\_field :search\_oid, :url =\> {:action =\>  
‘auto\_complete\_context’, :controller =\> ‘admin’,:frequency =\> 5000} %\>  
\<% end %\>

\<%= observe\_form filter\_criterion.dom\_id + ‘\_form’,:frequency =\> 5,:url  
=\> {:action =\> ‘update\_filter\_criterion’, :controller=\>‘filters’,  
:id=\>filter\_criterion.id}, :with =\> ‘value=value’ %\>
