Is Live Search Any Help To User?

Jul 18, 2006

I'm working on a form to add items within a bespoke CMS and have been contemplated the pros and cons of implementing a type of live search within the form. The way I was thinking of it working is:Users start to fill in form to add items to the databaseI don't want them to duplicate these items so thought that as they type the item name, I could return a table of similar results below with a note to say "The database already contains these similar items - Please check to ensure you are not replicating ... blah blah"My 2 questions are a) is this actually of any benefit to the user or should I just tell them to check the list of existing items before starting and b) anyone know of any tutorials to tell me how to do it!

Live OnChange - Run The Script Every Time A Character Changes Even If The User Is Still Typing?

Aug 19, 2010

I have a registration page with a username field and every time a character is type I would like to call a javascript function to test for a unique username. My function is working fine but I'm currently using onChange to call it and I noticed that onChange is less of an actual onChange and more of a onChange if onBlur. Is it possible to run the script every time a character changes even if the user is still typing? Note, I'm using ASP.NET in VB to write this page but I'd like to do this with javascript and not post back if at all possible.

Search Depending On What User Selects

Jul 20, 2005

what i want to do is create several radio buttons and a textbox for
searching purposes. the search will perform a search depending on
which button the user selects.

here is what i have now:

- for each radio button, i use the onClick event handler, which calls
a function called showMe()

- showMe() {
if (button 1 was selected)
document.write('form which will search down path A');
else if (button 2 was selected)
document.write('form which will search down path B');
else if (button 3 was selected)...
}

this works, but once the user makes their selection, the search form
will pop up on another page. how do i fix it so that the search form
will display on the same page as the radio buttons? Is there any
other way to accomplish this?

Show Text In Search Box After User Selects Something?

Sep 8, 2010

I have this search box form with 2 select boxes :

<form action="search.php" method="get">
<select name="RingType">
<option value="Nose">Nose</option>
<option value="Toe">Toe</option>

[Code]....

For example, when a visitor selects "Belly" RingType, I want "Belly Ring" to appear in the search box.

and

when the visitor selects "pearl" NecklaceType, I want "pearl necklace" to appear in the search box.

if the visitor first selects "Belly" RingType, and then selects "pearl" NecklaceType, I want "Belly Ring pearl necklace" to appear in the search box.

After making his selections in the search box, if he types something in the search box, it should add to what is already there in the search box. Or, if he first types something in the search box for example, "jewelry" and then selects "pearl" in the necklacetype select box, the search box should show : "jewelry pearl necklace"

Processing Pending Events From Within A Longl Lasting Loop (because User Wants To Cancel A Search)

Jul 20, 2005

I have to make an application that works on pc and apple mac.
Therefore I am investigating if it's possible to use html/javascript.
The database has 10000 records and is sequentially searched. This may
take 20 seconds or so. I want the user to be able to quit the search
and also I want the outputscreen to be updated immediately when a hit
is found and not wait until the complete search is finished.

The problem is that the click-event of the 'Cancel-button' is
processed after the search is finished. Is there something like
application.processmessages (similar to Delphi) so all pending events
are processed?

Html-file Where The User Inserts A Search Path For An Excel File?

Jan 28, 2010

I have one html-file where the user inserts a search path for an excel file. When the user clicks the button the data in the excel file should be presented in a <TABLE>. (Yeah, I know, activex only works in IE .. but that's good enough for this project)

The problem is .. I started out with a "fixed" search path for the excel file, so I didn't have the code in a function. That worked just fine. Once I added the function {} around the code it wouldn't work, it works just fine if I comment out the form-part and the function-part, and give the search path, of course.
It also works just fine if I use the function and form, but remove the <TABLE>- and <TR>-rows

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!-->
