Subject: Problem with text_field_with_auto_complete Part 2

Ok so I got the text field to populate a list of what I needed but I
have a problem. When I select an item in Firefox, there's 4 spaces that
appear before it in the text field. In safari, nothing appears in the
field after selecting. I saw reference to this problem while searching
online but couldnt quite find a solution. My code is almost exactly
whats in the scriptaculous example at
http://demo.script.aculo.us/ajax/autocompleter_customized

here it is:

#controller
  def auto_complete_for_software_title
    auto_complete_responder_for_software params[:software][:title]
  end

  private
  def auto_complete_responder_for_software(value)
    @soft = Software.find(:all,
      :conditions => [ 'LOWER(title) LIKE ?',
      value.downcase + '%' ],
      :order => 'title ASC',
      :limit => 40)
    render :partial => 'software_list'

#view
<%= text_field_with_auto_complete :software, :title, {}, :skip_style =>
true %>

#partial
<ul>
<% for soft in @soft do -%>
  <li>
    <%=h soft.title %>
  </li>
<% end -%>
</ul>

I tried alot of different things but nothing seems to be fixing it. Any
help would be greatly appreciated. I'm almost there :)
