I’m using scriptaculous to provide an auto complete textbox - and it
works perfectly - but I was wondering if there was anyway to let users
navigate the choices using the keyboard i.e the curor keys as opposed to
having to use the mouse? Apart from that it’s perfect!
I have been using the auto_complete fields and I think they already do.

Just tried it on my mac and linux and it works fine… maybe just my IE
playing up? :S
Different issue now though - I want to update the rest of the form when
the user tabs out of the autocomplete box. Normally I’d do this with
onBlur() but not sure how to set that up if using the helper methods.
Has anyone done this already?
I am curious about this as well.
I have several text_field_with_auto_complete fields in some forms that
are
heavy data entry intensive.
The auto complete fields allow the user to start typing a name and then
when
chosen the address is automatically filled in for them.
Everything works great if the user uses the moust to select the item
from
the auto complete list.
However, if the user types and the correct item is highlighted in the
auto
complete list, they want to be able to TAB to the next field and the
application complete the address just as if they had selected the entry
with
the mouse.
