autocomplete lists of links

I'm generating a list of links in an autocompleter

SearchComponent>>#renderContentOn

script: (html autocompleter
                        element: 'schoolTerm';
                        on: #renderSchoolListOn: of: self).


SearchComponent>>#renderSchoolListOn

list := SalesListMenuComponent new.
        (items first: (items size min: 10))
                do: [:each | list
                                addEntry: each schoolString
                                withAction: [ self halt. each viewQueries ]].

The list renders fine, with links, but the action isn't being called when one is selected.

I'm probably missing something completely obvious....

Have a look at SUAutocompleterTest for a working example.

You shouldn't instantiate components while rendering, this will create
a new instance with every request what is rarely what you want. Slime
detects such problems.

Thanks Lucas

I can see Slime is going to prove useful.
I did start off with the example in SUAutocompleterTest, but in this case I'm not needing to do the triggerFormElement:  on the textinput field, rather the generated dynamic list of matched strings have anchors  which I then want to click on and invoke their actions.
