Re: ConditionalAutocomplete and Tapestry 5.4

Hi!

I cannot check right now, but I believe the 5.4 Autocomplete mixin is now
using the jQuery implementation (http://jqueryui.com/autocomplete/) instead
of the Scriptaculous one. An option is to copy the 5.3 Tapestry
autocomplete class to your code and make your subclass be a subclass of it.
