Rails autocomplete the question of removing extraneous information

I have my autocomplete plugin that works great ... except that I have certain information that I want to display in the autocomplete div, but I don’t want the user to make a selection.

Ie .... I have autocomplete for currencies ... they can search by currency code or by country ... as it searches for them it displays both information and country flag.

the form:

<%= text_field_with_auto_complete :currency, :from, { :size => "10", :value => "USD" }, :skip_style => true %>

Partial:

<li class="currency"><div class="image"><img src="/images/flags_currency/<%=h code %>.png"/></div><div class="name"><%=h code %></div><div class="country"> <%=h other %></div></li>

But after selecting them, I would like this to not put the country name in the field, would I like to somehow edit it using javascript or CSS?

Any ideas?

What about:

text_field_with_auto_complete :currency, :from, 
     { :size => "10", :value => "USD" },
     :skip_style => true, :select => :name


From the parameters auto_complete_field

.
