I’ve got a model with a number of attributes – a bicycle with all of
the various components on it. When the user enters the bike’s make and
model (among other things), I want to make sure that we don’t
duplicate a brand name (for example: Fuji is a single brand and it
would suck to have Fuji, fujee and fUGI in the DB somehow).
I’ve been tinkering with the auto_complete plugin and have managed to
get it to work for a single attribute of the bike model. Is there a
way to get it to work with multiple fields within the same form?
If there’s an alternative way to handle this, I’m all ears!

Why not just give a select list of the brands. You can make up a
table
with all the brands (with maybe an 'other' for strange ones) and make a
select list from that that the user can pick from. That way you
will
not get alternative versions.
