Thanks Anthony.  Trying this but running into a problem generating the json
to use for the data.  Keep getting a javascript error:

SyntaxError:  invalid property id

data: [{"text": "Skygsslo Farms", "descriptio



On the python side I'm building it like this:

        for customer in
db(customerQuery).select(orderby=db.customer.customerId):
            customerList.append(dict(value=customer.customerId,
                                     text=customer.name,
                                     description='%s, %s' %
(customer.city,customer.state)))

      customerList = response.json(customerList)

then I'm passing {{=customerList}} to the data argument in the javascript.
 I'm not well-versed enough in javascript/json to know how to get rid of
these quotes, and even if I do, will it help?

Any insight would be appreciated.  Or, tell me to work it out on my own....

-Jim
