    <p>I have a JQuery UI Autocomplete field that accesses a Ruby function behind the scenes. Typing into the box doesn't trigger the call to the server to load the options. Pressing the Down key will do so however and it works fine after that. Any ideas why this might be?</p> <p>HTML</p> <pre><code>&lt;div id="subject_select_dialog" class="ui-dialog-content ui-widget-content" style="width: auto; min-height: 0px; height: 141px; " scrolltop="0" scrollleft="0"&gt; &lt;input id="subject_select" name="subject" size="70" type="text" class="ui-autocomplete-input" autocomplete="off" role="textbox" aria-autocomplete="list" aria-haspopup="true"&gt; &lt;button id="subject_select_clear" name="button" type="clear"&gt;Clear&lt;/button&gt; ... &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>JavaScript</p> <pre><code>$("#subject_select").autocomplete({ source: "/users/autocomplete", minLength: 2, focus: function( event, ui ) { $( "#subject_select" ).val( ui.item.label ); return false; }, select: function(event, ui) { $("#subject_select").val( ui.item.label ) $("#subject_select_results").html( ui.item.label ) $("#subject_select_id").val( ui.item.value ) return false; } }); </code></pre> <p>Ruby</p> <pre><code>def autocomplete render :json =&gt; UserProfile.list_by_name(params[:term]).to_json end </code></pre> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>Examining the generated HTML, it's flagging my field as <code>Autocomplete="off"</code>. When I manually change that value in my debugger, the correct behavior appears. Why would it be flagging it with such an attribute and how do I fix it?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
