Hi friends,
I was using the rails recipes for the feature called Lightning fast auto
completer where we search and save the contents to be displayed in the
JavaScript Array .

something like in some .js file
var authors = new Array(<%= @authors.size %>);
<% @authors.each_with_index do |author, index| %>
authors[<%= index %>] = "<%= author.name %>";
<% end %>


and do this in the head section the rhtml file
<head>
<%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %>
<script src="/book/authors_for_lookup" type="text/javascript"></script>

and in the controller
def authors_for_lookup
   @authors = Author.find(:all)
   response.headers[' content-type' ] = ' text/javascript'
end

but when i tried sourcing the jjs file through the html file it wasnt able
to find the js file
so i placed the script in the head section of the rhtml file somewhat like
..
<head>
<%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %>
<script type="text/javascript">
     var authors = new Array(<%= @authors.size %>);
    <% @authors.each_with_index do |author, index| %>
     authors[<%= index %>] = "<%= author.name %>";
    <% end %>
</script>

it works fine in Mozilla firefox any version
but i get error while i use Internet explorer 7.0 and lower .
it asks me to save the file
i think theres some problem with the response.headers which we are using in
the controller

can some one give me a solution
please feel free to reply or mail me at mba.piyushgupta@gmail.com

thank you

PS.Can someone explain what does this response.headers do i tried @headers
but that was deprecated in the latest version of rails.
