View 8 RepliesI 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.
I have a javascript that allows me to search text on a page.What I want to do is to limit the search area and not search the entire page.
Here is an example page:
[URL]
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'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?
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=Ɗ']/icode")
How do I do this in Browserside Javascript.
The code has to work in both FireFox and IE.
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.
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.
It is possible to perform a find in page search that looks at a specific link, opens the page in a new window and finds the text within that document?? Basically I regularly use an html page in work that has a list of people and their telephone numbers. I want to be able to type in a searchbox on my main page and it open the target page and find the name I am looking for? Is this possible or can you only Find In Page on the same page or another frame?

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 am using a very simple search-type page to enable users to input a model number and its page appears in a inline frame. Its not a true search as it is simply relying on a person entering the correct html page name to find it. But this works perfectly in my application.The problem I have is that I cannot get the type box to accept enter key as a submitt, only a click of the mouse will submitt the request. If enter is pressed the box loses the users input but no action is taken.I think this may be a javascript issue. I have posted the code below.

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:
I need to make a search box to enable the user to search for a text string on the current page. All the sources I've checked are concerned with searching the web, or tying into Google, etc.

I would like to find some direction or help to solve an issue I have.I would like to find a way to search for a string of content on my webpage and return the string, or at least part of the string into the URL...Example of the content on my page:-----Welcome, John Adams Log OutWelcome to your own content, based on your settings provided. Feel free to download the content you need.Fairly straightforward. Now I would like to create a function that will look at the page and "copy" the string of content beginning with "welcome" and ending with "out"Next, I would like to remove the "welcome," and "log out" and have the name remain.Then, post the name into the URL to be passed onto the next page for me to use as more ersonalization/dynamically driven content; Such as:

I want to put a little search on a single standalone webpage of names and numbers.
I'm using the code below - works a treat but when you first visit the page, you have to click in the search box before typing a string, How can I make it so that the input box is actively awaiting input upon the page being displayed?
Also as a second question.. can i make it so whenever 'enter' is pressed on the keyboard, the search button is effectively actioned/clicked so it highlights the next matching string?code...
Here is the code implemented on the search results page:
<div id="cse-search-results"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var googleSearchIframeName = "cse-search-results";

The original code (from my Google custom search control panel) included a FrameWidth of 600 and I changed it to 500 but it didn't make a difference.
I've been the last few days around a script that I can't make it work. This script is a search engine, when you look for something say the word "titanic", it shows you a list of results with numbers, being the first link with the higher number (kinda like a score), and then after u click the link you want he goes to the respective page. Now I want him to skip the results page, and directly open the first link that he founds on the page.
The Script
<!-- Begin
var item = new Array();
// Just enter as many additional pages that you want to search, then fill in he additional listings for each page.
// "Page Name","path","Page Title","Many,Key,Words","Descriptive Comments"
c=0; item[c]=new Array("centerif.htm","","titanic","index,main,start,home,front","Demonstration search engine data about an imagined but probable internet site."); .....
I got this code from w3schools and I want to alter it for my needs. However I can not get the basic example to work. I have repeatedly cross checked it and can't see any error. I wonder if anyone can spot what I am doing wrong. code...
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using the code below to create a pop-up search box that finds text strings on a contents page. The contents page contains a list of hyperlinks each of which opens a PDF document in the same window. The search box does exactly what it's intended to do, but the problem is this: if the user clicks on "Find next" or "Find previous" once the PDF document is open, an error occurs; the same error occurs if the user then navigates back to the contents page and clicks on "Find next" or "Find previous". I'm thinking the solution must be to get the search box to close as soon as the PDF document opens, but how do I achieve this?
