--- Comment #3 from Ross <ross.bend...@gmail.com> 2011-09-29 23:48:50 UTC --- Created attachment 9128 --> https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/attachment.cgi?id=9128 The source code for a working example This is a problem made easy by Wikipedia's existing API. I have a working example (modified after mobile.wikipedia.org) at http://rossbender.com/temp/testwiki/ - try it on your mobile phone! See also my personal site's example (a stripped down version): http://rossbender.com/random/wikipedia/ The changes attached are minimal to the already existing page at mobile.wikipedia.org. I'm using that as comparison instead of en.m.wikipedia.org for simplicity's sake only--the changes would be similar there. If you compare the HTML source from mobile.wikipedia.org with the source attached that you will see I have only added 4 lines in the <head> (meta tag for mobile compatibility, 1 link to an external stylesheet, and 2 links to external Javascript files) and 1 line in the <body> (results div). (Note that the wikiapi.php file is only necessary on my server because I cannot do cross-domain XML requests in Javascript. So the wikiapi.php file simply returns the results of the Wikipedia API results.) I personally prefer the results being displayed as part of the page, but adding the same effect to a dropdown box is not difficult using http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/. For my own personal site I had actually started with that but preferred to opt for the more simplistic version. I would be happy to help out with this where necessary. Autocomplete for search engines nowadays is basically a must (read more on my thoughts here: http://rossbender.com/2011/09/25/mobile-wikipedia-search/). Let me know if there's anything more I can do to help.
