It really helped me out. As another example, here's my line of code: 'off', :style => 'font-weight:bold;', :value => '' }, { :url => { :action => :auto_complete_for_person_name, :person_id => @person.id } } %> Then, in the Controller, I can access params[:person_id] to exclude that person's name. Hey, thanks so much for this. It really helped me out. As another example, here’s my line of code:

‘off’, :style => ‘font-weight:bold;’, :value => ” }, { :url => { :action => :auto_complete_for_person_name, :person_id => @person.id } } %>

Then, in the Controller, I can access params[:person_id] to exclude that person’s name.
