I am using jQuery to clone the input fields on a short form. The cloning appears to work correctly but the AutoComplete works only for first occurance of the input and not for any subsequent clones.Any suggestions appreciated

Hello Iain,
It is much more difficult to create a cloned fields with Autocomplete assigned to each because for each you need different settings in the script tag that follows the input and you need ( if different data is to be get from the MySQL or whatever source you use ) a different server side file (like autocomplete-quote11-php-2.php )for each field.

In case it helps anyone else I came up with an interim working option using the following onFocus action to fire the autocomplete and ignore the actual clone name:
onFocus="jQuery(this).autocomplete('autocomplete-quote11-php-2.php',
{
opacity : .7,
delay : 100,
minChars : 3,
matchContains : true,
fxShow : { type:'slide' },
fxHide : { type:'slide' }
});" />
I still have to work out how to retreive the data though.

Miro, thanks for coming back so soon. The clone fields were all based on the same data set and I managed to increment them as an array (name[]) so they are all sequenced children in the array. Seems to work as required for now.
