It is doing two callbacks, one to get autocomplete options and one
when you click an item. It seems like it shouldn't do the second one.
Also, it probably shouldn't submit the form if you hit the enter key
while selecting an option. You might try breaking that huge js code on
attr['_onkeyup'] into smaller more digestible pieces to see what's
going on :)
There should really be a widget script resource section in
web2py_ajax.html so that widget makers can include global functions
and styles that multiple instances of a widget can use. Kind of like
response.files but raw code instead of file includes. Maybe just a
blank jQuery(document).ready function at the end of web2py_ajax.html
that renders a list called response.ready. Putting it at the end will
keep user code from breaking necessary framework code. Thoughts?
