Ruby Forum Rails Spinoffs (closed, excessive spam) > Autocomplete : make not automatically select first item

Hi

I'm using Autocomplete for the first time.

I would like it not to automatically select the first item in the
list.

In other words, it is entirely possible for the user to type something
that is not in the list, so I need the user to be able to press
escape, return or tab, and for the list to just dissapear, and the
text box contents to remain unchanged.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

We've started transitioning to a new, better-named, hopefully-spam-
free group for Prototype and script.aculo.us:

   http://groups.google.com/group/prototype-scriptaculous/

   prototype-scriptaculous@googlegroups.com

Could you please post your question there instead?  Thanks!  People
might still answer here, but probably not for all that much longer...
