Wim,
I just tried it out, and it works fine for me – if I type a name that doesn't exist, then that name is submitted.
In the controller:
auto_complete_for :supplier, :name
In the action:
render :text => "Name = #{params[:supplier][:name]}"
And in the view:
<%= text_field_with_auto_complete :supplier, :name %>
If this doesn't help you, maybe you could post some code?

Hi,
I'm a rails noob, tring to teach myself, so feel free to point me to
the correct FM if need be ;-)
I'm playing with the auto_complete plugin. I have a page to manage
expenses, and there's field 'supplier' to whom the expense is paid.
I can successfully retrieve the suppliers name from the suppliers
table, but when I type a name that doesn't exist yet, and submit,
nothing gets submitted?
Can anyone shed any light to why that is?
Ideally, in this situation, I'd like to be redirected to the supplier
model 'new' page, but I can settle for it just accepting what I type?
Best regards,
Wim
