DEPRECATION WARNING: This method will become a separate plugin when Rails 2.0 ships.

Wrapper for text_field with added AJAX autocompletion functionality.

In your controller, you’ll need to define an action called auto_complete_for to respond the AJAX calls,

See the RDoc on ActionController::Macros::AutoComplete to learn more about this.
