text_field_with_auto_complete inside form_for

Question

Simple question really - how do I use text_field_with_auto_complete inside a form_for block?

I\'ve tried doing f.text_field_with_auto_com

Answer 1

I had this problem too, but the solution I used might not apply to you.

Since the object I was querying in the autocomplete belonged to a different model, I used a fields_for like this, which solved the autocomplete problem.

<% fields_for :model, @formobject.model do %>

<%= text_field_with_auto_complete :object, :field, :skip_style => true %>

<% end %>

Good luck!
