AJAX :: Make A Search Case Insensitive?
Apr 19, 2011
I am working on a search function to call some data from an XML document. It works fine except for the fact that it's case sensitive.
What method do I need to use from the String object to make it case insensitive, so that a J is the same as j?
I was thinking of changing my text box string to all lower case using toLowerCase(). If I did this, then would I have to do the same thing in the info retrieved from the XML document? I want to make it so that Tom is the same as tom - I'm just wondering where I would have to apply these - to both the XML doc (being read for the output) as well as the text box string (the input).
Just wondering if I'm overthinking this, or on the right track with toLowerCase().
Also, in my search, to filter the results from only entering a few letters (not the entire element, I'm using the substr() method. It seems to work but I don't know if this affecting the case somehow...

The javascript below is looking for the word 'margaret thatcher' in the body and surrounding it with a link. It's lower-case but the script is ignoring the case so that won't matter. But, the problem is that because Margaret Thatcher is a proper noun, it will be capitalized in the body text yet replaced with lower-case text. How can I modify this script to look for the word while ignoring the case but use the same text it found as the replacement instead of using the text object?

I am a beginner in programming however I am close to completing this task for my uni course and I know what method is needed "toLowerCase()" yet I am not sure on where it needs to be placed. :confused: If i paste in the question and then the coding I have done so far to discover if string s appears in any of the URLs in the array pages. Gives an alert of s together with 'found' or 'not found' as for find1C. [Note that the search should be case insensitive so that 'lboro' and 'Lboro' and 'LBORO' would all be found in [URL]... all remaining functions should also be case insensitive in this way]

If I want to send something simple to the server and I don't need a response, instead of using AJAX, I use this:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function sendToServer(someText) {
var fakeImg = new Image();
fakeImg.src = "http://localhost/takeparam.asp?param=" + escape(someText);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="button" value="press me" onclick="sendToServer('baloney');" />
</body>
</html>
Is there anything inherently "wrong" with this? I know that it requires javascript enabled. As far as I can tell it will work on more platforms that AJAX so that should be a good thing, right?

Save the following code as "WHOIS.hta". Then launch it(For Windows 9x+ & IE 5.5+).
And it's easy to convert it to asp. So it may works well on your web server, too.
<html>
<head>
<title>WHOIS WebService</title>

MySpace and Yahoo! have search forms that when you click on the choice (ie web, images, audio) it uses javascript to change the form.
So basically, how can you dynamically change a search form that will give the choice to search different parts of my site?
Basically, it would have to be able to dynamically change the form method and action, and it would have to be able to change the input name.
For example in the front end it would look like this:
Search the {dropdown menu with forum, arcade, site, etc} for { query }

search = "#search=%22" + search + "%22";
globalHTML="<html><head><title>" + formTitle + "</title></head>"+"<frameset><frame src='" + pdfURL + search + "'></frame>"+"</frameset></html>";
This works just fine as my javascript to make a link to a pdf and bring up a search pane in the certain pdf. My question is if anyone has tried to highlight search terms in a pdf just by clicking on the link. I can't seem to get that to happen.

I'm new to javascript and I have a button in an interface for an app. It's like drag and drop and i want this button to link you to a certain website searching for what the user types in the searchField1 box. The button is button16. Such as you type dogs into the text box and you click the google button among other search engines and it will redirect you to a google search doing a search for dogs. But how do I make this button search google and search for whats in searchField1. I would really appreciate the help. Im looking everywhere to learn this but just cant find it. If you could tell me how or send me a link to a tutorial code...

I've got this listbox full of hundreds of employee names. Clicking on a name executes a function using onchange. Because of the length of the list I decided a search function would be really handy and I finally found one that works.
Now the search function, when you type in the input box, scrolls the list to the first matching entry. And that's good, that's what I wanted.
The problem comes in when you try to click on the name the search function found. Nothing happens ofcourse because the onchange tag in the list reacts to changes, not direct clicks.
code:
The list is populated by java but for testing I disabled the function that clears the "Loading" option and I set it to selected. That way the loading option is highlighted by default and the search function is free to highlight something else, then when I click on the search result it works like it's supposed to.
But keeping a highlighted option at the top of the list for that sole purpose isn't very elegant, especially since if you click on it the onchange function tries to execute and generates errors. The only solution I can think of is to use java to generate another option way at the bottom of the list that has the selected attribute but I don't quite know how to do that.

I have a search field on the website, and when I type a word to search, it search good, but after preforming the search, the search term from search text field disappears and become the default 'Search' word.
How can I make search term stay in search field after preforming a search ? For example, when I type into the search field 'JavaScript' I want that term to stay in search field and after the search is done.

Somebody enters the search term, presses search, and the results are displayed, what is more I record the search term in the DB - plus the number of results returned - reason I want to know what people are searching for and how often - to see if I can plug some holes in product inventory. Anway fairly standard.
Now I also have an AJAX search box (well same box actually) as they type matching products are displayed in a DHTML drop down (like google suggest) - this all works, however I am stuck trying to work out how I could record in the DB what they are searching for in the AJAX search etc as there is no hard action - such as pressing "search", each keystroke is a new search, and I guess I don't really want to be recording like (or do I?):
h 1000 (product matches)
ha 300
har 100
harr 20
harry 10
harry p 6
.......
etc
any ideas as to a possible work around.

I load into a div on index.php page via AJAX another php page. Once that page loads, I lose all the function of that page. For example, I click on the search or submit button and nothing happens.
I am trying to create a site using mostly PHP and MySQL and I have integrated some AJAX functions into the site to load new PHP pages into a DIV called "dynamic" on the index.php page without having to reload the entire page. This is working great.
However, when I use the menu with the following hyperlink <a href="javascript: addContent('sample.php', 'dynamic')"> calling the AJAX code to load the sample.php page inot the the DIV dynamic, the sample.php pages loads into the DIV but the PROBLEM is that the submit, and or search functions on the sample.php page stop working.
I believe that this has something to do with using the AJAX code because it is Asynchronous. Perhaps I need to use live or event delegation.
Since I am new to webdevelopment and trying to learn best practices if anyone knows a good way to load PHP forms into a DIV on perhaps a index.php page and then have the form controls still work.
Also I have been using NuSphere PhpED for an IDE which has helped me step through PHP and MySQL code to solve problems real well. However, I would like to get a recommendation on a IDE to use with Java Script and AJAX. Part of my problem with resolving this issue is that I can't step through the code to see what is not happening..

I too have a problem with Ajax POST method and Send. I have set up a Site Search using the Google Ajax Search API, and it works fine. The search term is stored in the variable (?) query. Just to make sure, I have set up a new variable (searchTerm) to read the value of query, and a temporary Alert box shows that this variable does indeed contain the search term.
I want to store the search terms in a database so I can see what people are searching for. So I set up a POST method to send the searchTerm to a php file, which uses if (isset($_POST['searchTerm'])) to obtain the searchTerm and then insert it into a MYSQL database. But it doesn't work.
When I couldn't insert into the database, I added a second (temporary) insert using a dummy value as the else part of the above if statement, to test (1) if the Ajax file was actually setting the php file going, and (2) to check my Insert code was working. Both work.
So the problem is clearly that either the Ajax code doesn't Send correctly, or the php isn't receiving it. I am stumped to find what is wrong. Here are the two relevant sections of code:

Quote:
To repeat, the php is running and always loads the dummy variable from the else section, indicating that isset($_POST['searchTerm']) is null.

I have an AJAX script which is used for a "live search" type function.When a user begins to type their search, after 3 characters, my AJAX script jumps into action and shows them a list of possible results.I has worked fine for months, and now suddenly I have found that it is causing a javascript error.I have traced the error down to the "open" call... ie: this.xmlHttp.open("GET", url, true);Like I said, this has worked for ages and I haven't changed these files since I got them working.

I have created a similar smart search like yellowpages:[URL]... Here is the problem I have with mine:
Lets say I search 'Attorneys' I start typing 'Att' ... then 'Attorneys' shows up in the smart search so I click on it and press enter. The next time I start typing 'Att' my browsers saved search field pops up over the websites smart search. Here is an image which might help explain the problem a bit more:
