--------------------------------------

Si,
    The <auto-complete> tag for the dropdown fields in ListExampleAjax(ExampleForms.xml) has been commented in the trunk.  You may try it on your local updated copy by uncommenting those tags.

----------------------------------------

Anil, Mridul,

I don't know if you still want to improve it (BTW what did you envision?), else we could close it? Also why not put it as a simple example using Example component in the Form Widget Examples screen?

Thanks
