Autcompletion Issues with Yahoo, Scriptaculous Libraries

Cheng Guangnan reports on a potential issue with the autocompletion/suggestion support offered by both Yahoo UI and Scriptaculous libraries.

Hi,

Go to your example. Focus is on the initial text box. Keep your finger on "a" e.g. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa and then tab. You get stack overflow at line 15 popup.

Regards,

John
