JQuery Autocomplete field only works once

[aarona]

I'm trying to figure out what I might be doing wrong here. I'm not sure how mobylette works but it seems that is rebuilds only partial pieces of the web page instead of a full reload when is causing my autocomplete code to stop working after its first use. I've looked on Stack Overflow for a solution to this problem and haven't found anything substantial.

I isolated a piece of my project into a rails application that you can download here:
https://github.com/aarona/mobylette_test

There is a sql file you will need to use to insert about 500 test records for a parts database. You can find that file under the /doc folder.

Go to localhost:3000 after running the server and click link to get to the parts page. You will see that after you've submitted your first part entry, the auto complete function stops working. You have to refresh the page to get it to work again.

Ignore this. I did some more trouble shooting and I think jquery-mobile is causing the problem, not the mobylette gem.

Confirm this behavior.

Suppose there is a config[:skip_xhr_requests] = false in first_controller. And no more configurations on xhr in others. In that case if I call some XHR action from second_controller it works as expected, but if I call above action from second_controller after calling action from first_controller I will catch error that causing by surprising mobile view of XHR of second_controller.

Unexpectable behavior...

Hi aarona, could you share what's the actual trouble causing this problem? 'cause I got the same situation and I think it's because of my Jquery Moblie bind() function or something. I've been stuck in this for a long time and got no luck.
Thanks!

gz2010tina, yes I found out that its not mobylette causing the problem but jquery mobile doesn't allow for a rebinding on my auto complete text field. Its very frustrating. I am also still stuck on this. If I do find a solution, I will message you.
