jQuery UI Autocomplete with a JSON datasource generated from Rails - not working -

-

i'm trying set input tag jquery autocomplete function, it's doesn't work when im referring external json data. works perfectly, however, local json-like array... let me explain in code:

html file:

<html> <head>  <meta charset="utf-8">   <script src="jquery-1.4.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>   <script src="jquery-ui-1.8.5.custom.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>   <script>   $(function() {    $("#birds").autocomplete({     source: "http://localhost:3000/autocomplete_searches/index.json",     minlength: 3    });   });  </script> </head>   <body>  <div class="ui-widget">   <label for="birds">birds: </label>   <input id="birds" />  </div> </body> </html>

autocomplete_searches_controller.rb in rails app

class autocompletesearchescontroller < applicationcontroller   def index   @tags = tag.limit(30).name_like(params[:term])   @tags_hash = []   @tags.each |tag|    @tags_hash << {"label" => tag.label}   end   render :json => @tags_hash  end  end

this json action alone works well, example: http://localhost:3000/autocomplete_searches/index?term=psychiatric gives me:

[{"label":"psychiatric hospital"},{"label":"psychiatric nurse"},{"label":"psychiatric examination"}]

and can see jquery function working somehow, because when im typing example "italy" in #birds input-box webrick gives me:

started "/autocomplete_searches/index.json?term=italy" 127.0.0.1 @ 2010-09-27 18:07:07 +0200   processing autocompletesearchescontroller#index json   parameteres: {"term"=>"italy"}   bla bla bla select "tags".* "tags" (tags.name '%italy%') limit 30

but see no effects on website. , said, autocomplete script working when put data in same format straight in html file. in 1 im not getting problems:

<html> <head>  <meta charset="utf-8">   <script src="jquery-1.4.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>   <script src="jquery-ui-1.8.5.custom.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>   <script>   $(function() {    $("#birds").autocomplete({     source: [{"label":"psychiatric hospital"},{"label":"psychiatric nurse"},{"label":"psychiatric examination"}],     minlength: 3    });   });  </script> </head>   <body>  <div class="ui-widget">   <label for="birds">birds: </label>   <input id="birds" />  </div> </body> </html>

so where's problem? im new json maybe im doing sth wrong.

ee... made new action in rails , put html code view. started work. why couldnt working while stand alone html file?
