jquery-ui autocomplete in grails

Question

Can anyone give me the complete steps to work with jquery-ui autocomplete. I am using grails 2.0.1.

I need a complete example including code for controller and views.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

At first you need to add in your main.gsp (in head) this to lines

 <g:javascript library="jquery"/>
 <g:javascript library="jquery-ui"/>

the plugin will downloaded automatically.

and for complete example you can use this link

Answer 2

you should really try to do this yourself and then ask a question about how something works or why something is not working.

but a good place to start is the general jquery - ui documentation

http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/

and then you could run through a simple example like this:
