show result dynamically in search box - javascript

I want a search box which shows the result just below it when I click the search button without reloading the page.
for this I've js function called ShowUsers(str)
like this
function showUser(str) {
if (str == "") {
document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML = "";
return;
} else {
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
} else {
// code for IE6, IE5
xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4 && xmlhttp.status == 200)
document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML =
xmlhttp.responseText;
}
}
xmlhttp.open("GET","getuser.php?q="+str,true);
xmlhttp.send();
}
}
And a html form like this :
<form>
<input type="text" name="q"/>
<script type="text/javascript">var x = document.getElementById("q").value; </script>
<input type="button" value="search" onclick="showUser(x)">
</form>
<br>
<div id="txtHint"><b>Person info will be listed here...</b></div>
I've one php file to show the result called as GetUser.php
I think the var x deos'nt pass to the ShowUser(str) function in the input tag I think this is not a right way to pass a js var into html event
so what can i do to show the data


Access document.getElementById("q").value directly in showUser function rather than passing x to showUser function.
function showUser() {
var str = document.getElementById("txtHint").value;
if (str == "") {
document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML = "";
return;
} else {
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
} else {
// code for IE6, IE5
xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4 && xmlhttp.status == 200)
document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML =
xmlhttp.responseText;
}
}
xmlhttp.open("GET","getuser.php?q="+str,true);
xmlhttp.send();
}
}

How will I show the data from my database when I view the page based on what is selected in my combo box?

When I view my sample.php page, I only see my combo box, and when I start to select a value from my combo box, that's when my data from database show which is from my getyear.php.
What I want to do is the moment I view that page with the default value which is, for instance, 2014-2016, I can already see the data from my getyear.php
This is what I have in my javascript:
/* event handler ~ no ajax function shown */
function showofficers(str){
if (str == "") {
document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML = "";
return;
}
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
} else {
// code for IE6, IE5
xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4 && xmlhttp.status == 200) {
document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML = xmlhttp.responseText;
}
};
xmlhttp.open("GET","getyear.php?q="+str,true);
xmlhttp.send();
}
$(document).ready(function(){
var year = document.getElementById("year").value;
if (year =="") {
document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML="";
return;
}
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
} else { // code for IE6, IE5
xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function() {
if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200) {
document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
}
}
mlhttp.open("GET","get_year.php?q="+year,true);
xmlhttp.send();
});
My div is:
<div id="txtHint"></div>

Just continue with:
if (year =="") {
document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML="";
return;
} else {
showofficers(year);
};
and make sure the function showofficers is in context.

Start and stop AJAX by selecting radio buttons

I have a small form that only has two radio buttons. To turn on automatic checking and one to disable it:
<form class="user-containter-form">
<input type="radio" id="refreshOn" name="perCheck" value="on" checked="checked">Periodic Checking On<br>
<input type="radio" id="refreshOff" name="perCheck" value="off" onclick="alert('hello');" onclick="getTweets()">Periodic Checking Off
</form>
And I have an AJAX request for the actual getting of info.
if(document.getElementById('refreshOn').checked) {
setInterval(function () {sendRequest()}, 2000);
function sendRequest(){
var xmlhttp;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest){// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
}
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xmlhttp.readyState == XMLHttpRequest.DONE ) {
if(xmlhttp.status == 200){
document.getElementById("test").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
} else if(xmlhttp.status == 400) {
alert('There was an error 400')
} else {
alert('something else other than 200')
}
}
}
xmlhttp.open("GET","getTweets.php?",true);
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
xmlhttp.send();
}
}
By default I have it set to on, but I would like the user to be able to disable to refresh. How can I achieve this?

Your html become:
<input type="radio" id="refreshOff" name="perCheck" value="off" onclick="disableAutoRefresh();" onclick="getTweets()">Periodic Checking Off
You declare new variable global and define new function:
var autoRefresh = true
function disableAutoRefresh(){
autoRefresh = false;
}
You modify your code
if(document.getElementById('refreshOn').checked) {
setInterval(function () {if (autoRefresh) sendRequest()}, 2000);
//rest of your code
//...
}

set the interval to a variable and clear the variable based on user input
var theInterval;
if(document.getElementById('refreshOn').checked) {
theInterval = setInterval(function () {sendRequest()}, 2000);
function sendRequest(){
var xmlhttp;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest){// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
}
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xmlhttp.readyState == XMLHttpRequest.DONE ) {
if(xmlhttp.status == 200){
document.getElementById("test").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
} else if(xmlhttp.status == 400) {
alert('There was an error 400')
} else {
alert('something else other than 200')
}
}
}
xmlhttp.open("GET","getTweets.php?",true);
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
xmlhttp.send();
}
}
$('input').click(function(){
if(document.getElementById('refreshOff').checked){
clearInterval(theInterval);
}
});

my index.php file is as follows :
<script>
function showUser(str) {
if (str == "") {
document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML = "";
return;
} else {
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari

Ajax response to xml page to get title elements doesn't work

Can anyone tell me why I can't get the elements from an XML document? It doesn't print anything when I press the et Title button that i have implemented in the body section. Here's my code:
function MyF () {
var xmlhttp;
var txt,x,i=0;
var xx;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest){
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else{
xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
xmlhttp.send();
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function(){
if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4 && xmlhttp.status == 200) {
x = xmlhttp.responseXML.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("CD");
xx = x[i].getElementsByTagName("TITLE");
document.getElementById("test").innerHTML=xx;
}
}
xmlhttp.open("GET","cd_catalog.xml",true);
}

xmlhttp.responseXML.documentElement is the problem of your troubles. Just use xmlhttp.responseXML.getElementsByTagName and you should be fine.

How do you make this ajax example work on opera and firefox?

I have a quick question, the following only works on IE 7 and above, how can I make it work on firefox and opera aswell?
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function loadXMLDoc()
{
var xmlhttp;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else
{// code for IE6, IE5
xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
{
if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
{
document.getElementById("myDiv").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
}
}
xmlhttp.open("GET","http://www.tdsoft.se/index.html",true);
xmlhttp.send();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="myDiv"><h2>Let AJAX change this text</h2></div>
<button type="button" onclick="loadXMLDoc()">Change Content</button>
</body>
</html>
Edit
Thanks for all your answers, now I just have another question regarding the followng code
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function loadXMLDoc()
{
var xmlhttp;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else
{// code for IE6, IE5
xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
{
if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
{
return xmlhttp.responseText;
}
}
xmlhttp.open("GET","index.html",true);
xmlhttp.send();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="myDiv"><h2>Let AJAX change this text</h2></div>
<button type="button" onclick="loadXMLDoc()">Change Content</button>
</body>
</html>
Now I want to search through the xmlhttp.responseText (in other words call the function loadXMLDoc()) for key words, like for example "testfile" and if it exists multiple example "testfile_1" and "testfile_2"....."testfile_n" then "doSomething"
like this
function searchADocument(wordToSearchFor){
int numberOfTimesWordOccurs=0;
var thePageToSearchThrough [] = loadXMLDoc();
for (i=0; i<thePageToSearchThrough.length; i++){
if(thePageToSearchThrough[i]==wordToSearchFor)
numberOfTimesWordOccurs++;
}
If (wordToSearchFor > 1)
document.write(" testfile_1" testfile_2 testfile_n
)
Else
window.location="http://selnc05.go.se:8080/component_test/build/testfile.html";
}
I don't know where to start since I don't know what type xmlhttp.responseText is, can I store it in an array and scan it using for loop etc?
Thanks in advance. =)

Try something like this:
ajax("http://www.tdsoft.se/index.html", function(data) {
document.getElementById("myDiv").innerHTML = data;
});
Code
function getXmlHttpObject() {
var xmlHttp;
try {
xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
} catch (e) {
try {
xmlHttp = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
} catch (e) {
xmlHttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
}
return xmlHttp;
}
function ajax(url, onSuccess, onError) {
var xmlHttp = getXmlHttpObject();
xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = function () {
if (this.readyState == 4) {
if (this.status != 200) {
if (typeof onError == 'function') {
onError(this.responseText);
}
}
else if (typeof onSuccess == 'function') {
onSuccess(this.responseText);
}
}
};
xmlHttp.open("GET", url, true);
xmlHttp.send(null);
return xmlHttp;
}​
