You may not know it, but there is now Ajax-autocompletion in core. So you should try to re-use as much as possible of this code.
Yeah I guess when I mean AJAX I just mean exposing many of the database queries via XML to the client browser... like 'get an rss feed of all users' or 'get an rss feed of all events'... I'll check it out to see if it helps but it does not sound like what I am looking for offhand.
You'd need to make a callback function for the specific function or db query that you'd like to execute. Look at user.module for the definition of the user_autocomplete callback and how to call it in node.module node_form. The JS-calling functions are oin common.inc (I think they should be in bootstrap.inc, though). Cheers, Gerhard
