I am making a Ajax driven live search . But now I want to click the dropdown list to fill the html textbox. How can I modify my codes to include a function where the user can scroll through the results list using the up/down arrow keys. Here is the JavaScript code.
<script type="text/javascript">
function fill(Value) {
$('#name').val(Value);
$('#display').hide();
}
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#name").keyup(function() {
var name = $('#name').val();
if (name == "") {
$("#display").html("");
} else {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "ajax.php",
data: "name=" + name,
success: function(html) {
$("#display").html(html).show();
}
});
}
});
});
and here is the code in ajax.php page
if(isset($_POST['name'])) {
$name=trim($_POST['name']);
$query=mysqli_query($con,"SELECT * FROM mobile WHERE name LIKE '%$name%' LIMIT 0,5");
echo "<ul>";
while($query2=mysqli_fetch_array($query))
{ ?>
<div class="ajaxcontainer">
<li onclick='fill("<?php echo $query2[' name ']; ?>")'>
<a href="preview.php?id=<?php echo $query2['name']; ?>">
<div class="ajaximage">
<img src="<?php echo $query2['photo'];?>">
</div>
<div class="ajaxh1">
<h1><?php echo $query2['name']; ?></h1>
</div>
</a>
</li>
</div>
<?php } } ?>

Ajax code for language switching from database is not working in safari and Firefox, but its perfectly working on chrome and edge. Safari doesn't respond to ajax call but in firefox it only work after a lot of attempts to change language.
My code is

{
$bid=1;

But on live server i am getting problem, its showing me "loged in successfully" popup and redirecting back to login page.

hii i am creating a live search like this http://demo.phpgang.com/live-search-php-mysql-jquery/ and i am having a small problem in code this
jQuery("#result").on("click",function(e){
var $clicked = $(e.target);
var $name = $clicked.find(\'.name\').html();
var decoded = $("<div/>").html($name).text();
$(\'#searchid\').val(decoded);
the codes are taken from here http://www.phpgang.com/how-to-integrate-live-search-in-php-and-mysql-with-jquery_309.html
Problem - The problem i am facing is that when i search something it shows results correctly but when i click on result then nothing happens i want that result in input box when i click it. thanks help needed

There are few issues with your code. Let's start with
var $name = $clicked.find(\'.name\').html();
Here . is not a valid operator for concatenation in JS. It is used in PHP. To concatenate strings, use +.
Secondly, using \'.name.\' as input to find option. I suppose that name is already a string? You don't need extra escaping of ' unless that is part of echo in PHP. Simply use ' to start a string.
Next is:
var decoded = $("<div/>").html($name).text();
<div/> is not a valid selector. Use div simply.
Check the jsfiddle here for fixed code from your link:
https://jsfiddle.net/1mss5xwj/1/
I want to pass the value of my form_hidden from the view to a javascript function.
VIEW:
<?php echo validation_errors(); ?>
<?php
$mode = (isset($is_editing))? 'disabled' : 'disabled';
$client_name = (isset($is_editing))? $clientcontent->client_name : NULL;
$process = (isset($is_editing))? 'Edit' : 'Add';
$form_action = (isset($is_editing))? 'client/update_client/' . $id : 'client/create_client';
?>
<style type="text/css">
.check_exists
{
margin-top: 4px;
margin-left: 9px;
position: absolute;
width: 16px;
height: 16px;
}
</style>
<?php echo form_open($form_action, 'id="frm" class="form-horizontal" style="margin: 0;"'); ?>
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">x</button>
<h4 class="modal-title"><?php echo $process ?> Client</h4>
</div>
<div class="span6" style="padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:10px;">
<!-- Project Content Fields -->
<div class="control-group">
<p class="control-label">Client Name*</p>
<div class="controls">
<?php echo form_input('client_name', $client_name, 'id="client_name" style="height: 30px;"'); ?><span id="client_verify" class="check_exists" ></span>
</div>
</div>
<?php echo form_hidden('old_name',$client_name); ?>
</div>
<?php echo form_close(); ?>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function()
{
check_client("#client_name", "<?php echo base_url(); ?>client/check_availability", "#client_verify", "#old_name");
})
// </script>
Javascript File:
function check_client( id, url, spanid, old)
{
var oldname = $(old).val();
$('body').on('keyup', id, function(){
if($(id).val().length >= 3)
{
var newname = $(id).val();
console.info("The new name is " + newname + ":old name is" + oldname);
$.ajax({
url : url,
data : {client_name : $(id).val()},
type : 'POST',
success : function(data){
if( data.is_available == 0 ){ // Here
//start fading the messagebox
$(spanid).css({ "background-image": "url('http://localhost/mapmces_3.4.2/assets/img/no.png')" });
$(spanid).attr( "title", "Already Exists" );
available = false;
}else if( data.is_available ){ // Here the json response
//start fading the messagebox
$(spanid).css({ "background-image": "url('http://localhost/mapmces_3.4.2/assets/img/yes.png')" });
$(spanid).attr( "title", "Available" );
available = true;
}else{
alert("Some error occured! Check Console");
console.error(data.reason);
}
}
});
}
else
{
$(spanid).css({ "background-image": "none" });
}
});
}
Everything works fine. No errors are displayed by firebug. The function also works, but i want to add another validation which is checking if the oldname = newname. The function is able to get the value of the newname but it can't get the value of oldname which is from form_hidden.
Please tell me what I'm doing wrong. Many thanks!
What I would do is load the script in. after that, in your html, create some script tags and echo your form-hidden to a variable.
ex.
<script src='main.js'></script>
<script>
var hello=<?php echo form_Hidden; ?>;
thisIsAFunction(hello);
</script>
</body>
</html>
Just changed
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function()
{
check_client("#client_name", "<?php echo base_url(); ?>client/check_availability", "#client_verify", "#old_name");
})
</script>
into
<script type="text/javascript">
var old_name = "<?php echo $client_name; ?>";
$(document).ready(function()
{
check_client("#client_name", "<?php echo base_url(); ?>client/check_availability", "#client_verify",old_name);
})
</script>
I'm stuck with my codes for 2 weeks already. I want to have a page with 2 dropdowns. The first DD will show all 'states' from my database and the second DD should be based on the 1st DD's value. I think my codes are OK but the problem is the integration with wordpress itself. Is there any codes/functions/etc needed for a page to be read as ajax?

First, I pasted those codes in notepad++ and saved it as practice.php. Uploaded it to my wordpress theme directory. Typing http://www.site.com/practice.php shows 'page not found' so i went to wordpress dashboard and created a new page -> assigned the template named 'practice'. typed http://www.site.com/practice.php again and it works.
<?php
$choice = $_GET['choice'];
$xml = "<?xml version='1.0' ?><options>";
global $wpdb;
$query = "SELECT * FROM zipcode WHERE STATE = '$choice'";
$result = #mysql_query($query);
$num = #mysql_num_rows($result);
if ($result && $num > 0)
{
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result,MYSQL_ASSOC))
{
$xml .= "<optionText>" . $row['CITY'] . "</optionText><optionVal>" . $row['CITY'] . "</optionVal>";
}
}
$xml .= "</options>";
#mysql_free_result($result);
#mysql_close();
header("Content-Type: text/xml");
echo $xml;
?>
Ok so next i created a page with the codes above and named it updateGroup.php. uploaded it on wordpress theme directory.
Tested my codes and...I can't get it to work!! :(
Please i need help. should i add get_header and get_footer for my reference page? or do i need to configure something in wordpress to recognize my ajax?
