I'm trying to put together a live search input for an internal app I'm working on and I can't seem to figure out how to delay the ajax call to only fire if the user hasn't typed a character for half a second or so. That way, the request isn't firing after every character is entered as the user is typing.
Here is what I'm using, but I would like to build in some functionality $('#search').bind('keyup',function() { str = $('#search').val(); if(str.length >= 3){ $.ajax(.....) } } Thanks for the help.....
