Does any of you know how to create a drop-down list that allows the user to search the drop-down list using two characters, that is, the user will click on two characters of the keyboard which will be the first two characters of the word they are searching for in the list, which will be match to the first two characters of the the first word that has those two characters first.
For instance, we are use to searching in a drop-down list using one character which matches to the first letter of the word first word in the list in alphabetic order.
Now, what I am looking for is to search with two characters; which will match with the first two letters of the words in the list in alphabetic order.
I have written javascript function to search for all the first columns of html table with the text entered in a text box. The program is like a type-ahead kind of feature.
When i type "A", i have nearly 600 documents matching and so showed up in 600 rows in table.
Now if i type "Ap" then it is searching for 600 rows for the matching name, and its taking a lot of time.
Is there any other approach of getting filtered data through js. I achieved what i should but taking a lot of time.
I have a PHP script that searches a database and outputs the results in a table with several TD's. The user can select a radiobutton and press a button to edit that record. I need a JavaScript to do this :
Highlight the entire row when the mouse is over it (using in-line class). Un-highlight when the mouse exits it (in-line class again). Allow the user to select the radio button by clicking anywhere in the row Highlight the selected row (with another in-line class) My scripts endlessly have problems. Below is a small sample from the table...
A non-highlighted row is class "tcell" a highlighted (mouseover) class is "rhtcell" a radiobutton selected class is "selcell" <table align="center" border="0" width="1000" class="stable"> <form method="post" action="index.php">
I'm am going write a file to the users hard disk using Java, but I want to be able to let the user select what directory they would like to save the file to.
Is it possible to use javascript to open a search dialog where the user will specify the directory?
to do a simple javascript search, I want to be able to enter say "RA32R" in the name box, and have the description come up, my problem is that it seems to just jump to the first value, even when nothing has been entered into the name field.
to detect if a user doesn't have javascript enabled with they hit pages that require javascript. The problem is that search engines follow this, so the content for my javascript pages show up as my "javascript is not enabled" page.
If I add <meta name="robots" content="index,nofollow"> to the noscript block, will that solve my problem, or is there a recommended way to do this?
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 have been working on a Javascript powered search engine for a set of browser based user guides. I can't use any server-side languages as it will all be accessed from a network drive, which as been a real pain as I would rather have just made a php search engine, but whatever...
I have a working JavaScript search function, currently the results are displayed in the same window/frame as the search form.
All i need is to be able to target the results to a different frame. For example, I'll keep the search form in a top frame, and some information in the bottom frame. Submitting the search form will display the results in the bottom frame. Its giving me a headache, I'm sure it is remarkably simple. Code:
Basically the user would see a button on a form that would be something like "add contact"...then a window opens that shows a search window (want to implement something like [URL]) and it would show all the contacts available in the contacts table...then the user selects the contact to add (via a link).
I think i could get it this far, but how would i then pass that $row to the main form so that i can use the fields from that $row in the contacts table on my form?
Now i just want to edit one thing, when you search for something, results are shown under the search field, when you click on each result, goes to a link.
I want when clicking on a result, not going to link, just show that result string on the search field. where should i edit in script?
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:
I have chosen to use Google Custom Search with my website and was given the following code, my question is, how can i pass a search query from my homepage which has a standard form on there to the search page which holds this code?
I am given a search box within this code but would prefer to use my own on the homepage...
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!-->
its about redirection using javascript when the select box is being invoke onChange command is being change it should be able to redirect that page dynamically~~ tq PHP Code: <?php
I am really crazy on my javascript because I don't know what is the error about it (the red line). The purpose is that when select the value from "tradetermno" select box, then shows the related list in the second select box "tradetermdetailno".
I am currently recoding my website to perform more efficiently. By performing more efficiently I mean that I will be recoding the server side mostly.
One Particular idea I had was for select boxes. Right now for a page that lists the information for a user (say country of birth for example, which has over 200 option values) the php has to print all the values of the countries in a loop as <option></option>. The reason why it has to print them out each time is because it has to select the users country name.
Considering that there are 200+ values and there are also about 8 other select boxes that also have their information to be selected and printed thru php loop, it can get to be quite a strain on the CPU (when a bunch of users are all doing it).
So I decided to use a javascript function for each box to select the correct option value to be selected according to what the user has chosen beforehand. It generally is the same thing only the client is doing the job and not the webserver.
So what I am asking here is that should I reply on the javascript to do this? I have the paranoia that there will be some occurances where the client doens't have javascript or the version of javascript wont support the DOM features that are used to perform the job.
So for the average browser to be doing something like this, should I still be worried about this or should I go back to using the server side to handle the selected box values???
a very draft code, what i wanna do is when i click on the form, the value will auto be selected. but i cant seem to do so, and i am not very sure of the problem.
I would like to create a separate href on my page that when clicked will make the drop down box go to a specific value. I do not want to have to refresh the page to do this. Is it possible to have that sort of control over a drop down box.?
