That would be very cool...
First you have to capture the onKeyPress Event for the input box...
<input type="text" name="q" onKeyPress="onKeyPressHandler(this.form)">
now write a function that handles it
<script>
function onLoad() {
query = new Array("bob", "bill", "bottom", "big");
results = new Array();
query = results;
build_search_results();
}
function onKeyPressHandler(obj) {
var result_index = 0;
//match whats in the form and then anything after it
var r = new RegExp(obj.q.value + "+", "g");
for (var i = 0;i<query.length;i++) {
var match = query[i].match(r);
if (match.length > 0) {
//add to the results list
results[result_index] = obj.q.value;
result_index++;
}
}
update
}
function build_search_results() {
var out = "";
for (var i=0;i<results.length;i++) {
out += results[i] + "<BR>";
}
//this part will only work on IE, there may be a way to do it cross browser
search_results.innerHTML = out;
}
</script>
<div id="search_results"></div>
Not sure if this will actually work, because I just wrote it off the top of
my head... Let me know if it works, if not, it's a good start.

Subject: Narrow-down search...
I'm trying to find the best way to create a search routine that allows me to
"narrow-down" the choices as the user types. SOrt of like what Microsoft
Help does. If I have a query of 50 items, and the user types a "b", then
everything that starts with "b" is left, but everything else is parsed out.
If they then type an "a", then everything starting with "ba" is left, and
everything else is parsed out.
I've downloaded CF_combosearch, and it's SORT of what I'm looking for,
except I'm trying to avoid having to click on a button to submit the search.
I want it to update with each keypress. I'm not a Javascript wizard by a
longshot, but it seems to me that there should be some way to do this
client-side, without re-submitting the form, using javascript.
Has anyone else ever written something like this? If not, are there any
javascript gurus who can help coach me through doing it myself?
