yep, thanks!

for those who can't watch the video, here's a snippet that uses Mason  
instead of TT:

the template (autocomplete):

<% $c->prototype->define_javascript_functions %>
<% $c->prototype->auto_complete_stylesheet %>

<!-- some docs on why this needs autocomplete="off" would be nice -->
<input autocomplete="off" id="complete_me" name="complete_me"  
type="text" />
<div class="auto_complete" id="complete_me_auto_complete"></div>

<% $c->prototype->auto_complete_field( 'complete_me', { url =>  
$base . 'autocomplete/suggest' } ) %>


the controller (AutoComplete.pm):

sub default : Private {
     my ( $self, $c ) = @_;
     $c->stash->{template} = 'autocomplete';
}

sub suggest : Local {
     my ( $self, $c ) = @_;
     my $complete_me = $c->req->params->{complete_me};
     my @suggestions;
     push @suggestions, "$complete_me $_" foreach (1..5);
     $c->res->output( $c->prototype->auto_complete_result 
( \@suggestions ) );
}



here's how easy it was to do the same thing with a db query:

sub suggest : Local {
     my ( $self, $c ) = @_;
     my $complete_me = $c->req->params->{complete_me};
     my @suggestions;
     if ( $complete_me ) {
         my $today = localtime->mysql_date;  # from Time::Piece::MySQL
         my @s = MyApp::CDBI::Story->search_like(headline => "$ 
{complete_me}%", pubdate => $today);
         push @suggestions, $_->headline foreach @s;
     }
     $c->res->output( $c->prototype->auto_complete_result 
( \@suggestions ) );
}

This seems to fix it, and sri says he will work it into trunk:

Add the following lines to Dispatcher.pm's sub setup_actions:


   sub setup_actions {
      my ( $self, $comps ) = @_;

+    $self->actions(
+ { plain => {}, private => {}, regex => {}, compiled => [],
reverse => {} }
+    );
+    $self->tree( Tree::Simple->new( 0, Tree::Simple->ROOT ) );
+
      for my $comp (@$comps) {
          $comp = ref $comp || $comp;


don't know if there is still a problem with attrcache ..

fyi the homepage for thefeed.no causes safari 2.0 (osx tiger) to  
crash ..
