[Facebooker-talk] Custom Form Builder Help

Hello All,

We use a different custom form builder for our app, but I wanted to  
use facebooker's typeahead widget in side the other form builder.
I don't know much about form builders, but I created a file in lib/  
doing this:

http://pastie.caboo.se/178776

It works great, except that the id's and class names get messed up.
Instead of school_name, I get nilClass_name.
The other methods work fine however.

Here's the form:
<h1>New School</h1>
<%= show_flash %>
<% af_form_for :school, :url => schools_path, :html => {:method  
=> :post } do |f| %>
	<%= f.typeahead :name, @schools, "name", "name" %>
	<div class='label'>School Type</div>
	<%= f.radio_button :type, "College", :label => "College/ 
University", :span => 4, :last => true %>
	<%= f.radio_button :type, "HighSchool", :label => "High  
School", :span => 4, :last => true %>
	<%= f.hidden_field :nid %>
	<%= f.submit "Create School" %>
<% end -%>



Anyone have an idea of what I'm missing here?
Thanks,
BJ Clark
