Geoff,
Thanks for the feedback. What topic is this? I see it in Implementing Server Side AutoComplete functionality, but the code is correct and has loSer in there...

I tried following the documentation for the new Autocomplete control, and got stuck. Trying to run this as a Process Class method, as it's just a simple lookup from a vendor table.
The help file says:
*** Manually serialize the data loSer = CREATEOBJECT("wwJsonSerializer") Response.ContentType = "application/json" Response.Write("cursor_rawarray:TStockSymbols2") Response.End()
Didn't work. But this did:
*** Manually serialize the data loSer = CREATEOBJECT("wwJsonSerializer") Response.ContentType = "application/json" Response.Write(loSer.writevalue("cursor_rawarray:TStockSymbols2")) Response.End()
It's a pretty cool feature. Thanks for creating this, Rick!
