AJAX/PHP Search Script - Recording Searches
Nov 16, 2006
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'm implementing a custom AJAX based search suggestion box for my wordpress-based website, the only hurdle I can't seem to get over is the fact that when you enter something in the search box, the browser will render a list of all the recent searches beginning with the typed letter. Is there a way in JavaScript to prevent this?

I have a team website that has several games for entertainment. One
of the games is a javascript version of yahtzee. Can someone suggest
a way, using javascript, to record a high score for the game instead
of a high score for a particular user, session, or computer. Perhaps
someone already has code written to do this.

I need a javascript that could record the ID/name of a textbox when the user hit delete or backspace to be used on the next page after submission in a PHP script.
There are 96 text boxes, they are all randomly placed on the screen with a question that came from a randomized array's keys (the script later checks the values of the textboxes with the values from the array's keys that correlate to the textboxes by the name/id of the textbox, which is assigned by a for loop that issues the next($array) to assign everything everywhere.
At the same time, it needs to count how many times the backspace/delete were pushed and have that recorded and sent as well.
After 45 minutes of research I've been able to solve the "count the backspace/delete key" problem:
<script type="text/javascript">
var count = 0;
document.onkeypress=function(e){
var e=window.event || e
[Code]....
But onto the name/id issue: I'm not sure how to go about retrieving the names/id of the textboxes. I would assume a onkeypress event for every textbox, but hope that there could be something I could just add to this code.

I have a .Net website that uses a text file to record when visitors arrive on a page.
However, I really want it to also store the date and time that a visitor leaves a page. I can easily calculate the time spent on pages within a session but currently have no way of knowing how long someone spent on the last page they visited during a session.
What I need is a script that runs when a page is unloaded. The script will update a text file (stored in the htdocs folder of the site) with the current time.
So far, I have come to the conclusion that I may need to use JavaScript and the window.onbeforeunload event but I cannot get any further.

Is there a way to get the position of multiple substrings that match a
regexp without using closures? match() returns the substrings
themselves, not the positions, and search() seems to only return the
first position. Here's what seems to work (under Shanti Rao's jsdb.exe
shell) but I get a bit nervous about using closures Code:

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.

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...

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($_POST['searchTerm'])) to obtain the searchTerm and then insert it into a MYSQL database. But it doesn't work.
When I couldn't insert into the database, I added a second (temporary) insert using a dummy value as the else part of the above if statement, to test (1) if the Ajax file was actually setting the php file going, and (2) to check my Insert code was working. Both work.
So the problem is clearly that either the Ajax code doesn't Send correctly, or the php isn't receiving it. I am stumped to find what is wrong. Here are the two relevant sections of code:
Quote:
Quote:
To repeat, the php is running and always loads the dummy variable from the else section, indicating that isset($_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'm working on a 'live search' for some products in my database. I use a web method in an aspx page to hit the database up for data. The search fires off on each keyup event.
Here's the code that is fired to get the search results:
My problem is that when a user types in the input field really fast, the whole page slows down, it looks like the user isn't typing and there is a lot of lag for the cursor to catch up with the current position. What can I do to prevent this slowdown in my input field and speed up my page responding to the user's typing? I'd really like to have fast results and response time like Google's search.

I have a website that I'm designing where I have the need to search multiple sites at specific times. By this I mean that In some cases, we would want to search only the internet using google, or only search the site that I've created (which currently uses the jse_search.js solution), or only our company's website.
I currently have four different search boxes that will search either the internet, the internal site, a separate internal site, or a third-party website, which all working fine. The problem is that the search boxes take up quite a bit of space, and the layout is becoming cumbersome. Is there a way in Javascript I could use a single search box and a drop-down list to select which method to use? The code I'm currently using is below. With the exception of the Google search function, I've modified some of the site names to general site names and paths to preserve the company's anonymity:
Code in the <head> tag:
<script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript" src="jse_form.js">
</script>
Code in the <body> tag:
<!--Begin Internal Site Search 1!-->

I have a page built in Sharepoint. I need to create a little search box within that page so people can search for names on that same page. It's a page with a lot of text, hence why the search feature is needed.
I can only use an XML editor.
