How Can I Search A Select Tag With JavaScript

May 24, 2005

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.

Search Select List?

Jun 19, 2006

<form name="carrRequestForm" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 20px;">
Quick Carrier Search: <input type="text" size="60" name="search"/>
<select size="19" name="carrierList">
<%=carrier_name%> <!-- list of 800 carriers -->
</select>
<input class="frmButton" type="submit" value="Select Carrier and Close Window"/><br />
</form>

Can I search a select list using JavaScript, *without!* resorting to AJAX?

I guess I MAY need to resort to AJAX.. let me know if I do so I can prepare for it and get started..

I basicly need my Carrier Search to jump down the select list as a name is typed into the Carrier Search box.

Javascript Search

Jul 23, 2005

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.

Highlight And Select Search Results In Table Row?

May 8, 2009

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">

[Code]..

Search Inside Xml With Javascript (FF And IE)

Dec 28, 2006

A webpage recieves XML from the server using xmlhttp.
What I want to do is search in this xml browser-side.

XML-example:

<company>
<equipment>
<trackno>1</trackno>
<icode>ruthd</icode>
</equipment>
<equipment>
<trackno>4</trackno>
<icode>rdke</icode>
</equipment>
</company>

I want to display the icode from equipment with trackno 4.

Serverside I would have done that using XPath :
SelectSingleNode("/company/equipment [trackno=&#394;']/icode")

How do I do this in Browserside Javascript.
The code has to work in both FireFox and IE.

Simple Javascript Search?

Jan 4, 2006

I'm trying to use this script:

<script>
function QuickSearch() {

var name=document.forms[0].name;
var tempdesc=document.forms[0].tempdesc;

if (name.value="780-06") {
tempdesc.value = 'Women`s Princess Cut Vest|882'
}

else if (name.value="RA32R") {
tempdesc.value = 'Womens Rib Hoody with contrast piping|2290'
}

else if (name.value="75007") {
tempdesc.value = 'WOMENS SLEEVELESS POLO|812'
}

else if (name.value="") {
tempdesc.value = ''
}}
</script>

<form>
<input type="text" name="name" value="" onblur='QuickSearch()' />
<input type="text" name="tempdesc" value="" size="45" />
</form>

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.

Javascript, Noscript, & Search Engines

Apr 28, 2006

I use:

<noscript>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1; URL=../nojs.html">
</noscript>

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?

JavaScript Powered Search Script - Results Targeting.

Dec 26, 2007

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:

Search Mysql Database In Popup And Select Variable To Pass To Main Form?

Aug 7, 2010

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?

Using Single Search Box For Multiple Search Methods?

Dec 7, 2011

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!-->

[Code]...

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".

<FORM action="somewhere" method="POST" name="contractform">
...
...
<SELECT size="1" name="tradetermno" document.contractform.tradetermno.options[document.contractform.tradetermno.selectedIndex].value)">
<OPTION value="1" SELECTED>FOB </OPTION>
<OPTION value="2">C&F </OPTION>
</SELECT>
<SELECT size="1" name="tradetermsremarkno">
</SELECT>
...
...
</FORM>
...
...

The error the IE shown is "Object expected". Would anyone tell me what's wrong of my code?

<SELECT> Javascript Alternative

Mar 29, 2006

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???
