[EP-tech] Re: How to make the field „keywords“ autocomplete?

Hi all,

I'm interested in this too because I would like to have
autocompletition for projects field and I have 2 questions:
the first one is about the compound. Are we sure we need to redefine
the field as compound?
the second one is about if it is possible to have a single cgi taking
a parameter in input for a given field, like in my example
autocomplete("project") or autocomplete("funders") and so on, as those
fields are repetitively added and they are all the same, we can then
avoid to have as many lookup/xxx as fields.

But again, my perl is worst than my english...

Best regards,
Denis
