Hi Jeancarlo,
When you had just <s:head/> all your tags were using the default theme 
(usually xhtml) and were working.
When you changed it to <s:head theme="ajax">, all your tags started 
using the ajax theme and stopped working.

It sounds like you require all your existing tags to use xhtml, and only 
the autocompleter tag to use the ajax theme.

Two options:
  - use <s:head theme="ajax">, then modify all existing tags to use the 
xhtml theme (theme="xhtml"); or
  - use <s:head/> but add the javascript directly to your page to enable 
the autocompleter (see the html output when theme="html").  Set the 
autocompleter to use theme="ajax" only.


It should be possible to get all tags to work with theme="ajax" but 
you'll have to check what changed in the rendered html.

Hope that helps,
Jeromy Evans
