JavaScript - Jquery Autocomplete With Mysql Query
I want to use a database query to grab all of a member's friends from a table in order to add the friend's email address to a form, to ready it for POSTing.
I am using the jquery ui, so on my form.php page, I have the script and html: Code: <script> $(function() { $( "#friendsearch" ).autocomplete({ source: "search.php", minLength: 2, select: function( event, ui ) { log( ui.item ? "Selected: " + ui.item.id + " " + ui.item.value : "Nothing selected, input was " + this.value ); } }); }); </script> <form>... <input id="friendsearch" /> </form> And on my search.php I have: Code: //code to connect to database.... etc $query = " //this code goes through a table LEFT JOIN to grab a list of the logged-in member's friends' info (id, email, first name, last name) " $sql = mysql_query($query); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)) { $fid = $row["id"]; $firstname = $row["firstname"]; $lastname = $row["lastname"]; $email = $row["email"]; echo $fid <br /> $f_firstname <br /> $f_lastname <br /> $email <br /> "; The "echo" above works. It lists out all the info perfectly, so I know my query is good. The problem, I am having, is with what comes next in the search.php: Code: $q = strtolower($_GET["term"]); // supposed to do something with $q here (not sure what!) $return = array(); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) { array_push($return,array('id'=>$row['firstname'],'value'=>$row['lastname'])); } echo(json_encode($return)); This is the part that's suppose to work with the jquery autocomplete. I know it's wrong, but I need to know how I can fix it to do the following: 1) when the user starts typing the first name or last name of the friend, auto-complete shows a drop-down list of firstname lastname. 2) once the friends' names are placed in the input box, on submit, i want to POST the friends' email addresses (not their name)! Complex, I know... Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks, June Similar TutorialsHello, I have a problem with autocomplete of jQuery. Here is my code Code: $('input#recipient').autocomplete ({ source: function (request, callback) { var dataString = {username : request.username}; $.ajax({ url: url.root + 'email/', data: dataString, //cache: false, complete: function(xhr, result) { if(result != 'success') return; var response = xhr.responseText; var usernameList = []; $(response).filter('li').each (function() { usernameList.push($(this).text()); )}; callback(usernameList); } }); } }); Can you tell me what's the problem Thank you i have this, Code: $(function() { $('#input').autocomplete('test.php', {json: true}); }); that bring back values from the database here is my php section Code: $result = mysqli_query($db,$query); while( $row = mysqli_fetch_array($result) ) { $aResults[] = array( "id"=>($row['s_id']) ,"value"=>($row['s_last']), "info"=>($row['s_first']) ); } $return = array(); foreach ($aResults as $key => $res) { $return[] =$res['value'] . ' , ' . $res['info']; } echo json_encode($return); } } } i would like, when i select a name from the auto suggest to be able to have the id be filled in a input text area... uncle Google says this, but i am having a hard time implementing it. Code: myCallback = function(li, $input) { // I need to refer to the appropriate "myXxxInput" here alert($input.attr('id')); } setup = function() { setupInput($('#myFirstInput')); setupInput($('#mySecondInput')); } function setupInput($input) { $input.autocomplete('blah.php', {onItemSelect: function(li) { myCallback(li, $input);} }); } Hi guys, been running into some problems with all IE browsers and my jQuery Gallery from Galleryview. Background: I am using Java to do an image search and build up some HTML including the calls to run the galleryview scripts and return this back to the page using document.write() When I use the simple structure of placing the scripts and parameters into a sample page: Code: Code: <body> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://spaceforaname.com/js/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://spaceforaname.com/js/jquery.easing.1.3.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://spaceforaname.com/js/jquery-galleryview-1.1/jquery.galleryview-1.1.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://spaceforaname.com/js/jquery-galleryview-1.1/jquery.timers-1.1.2.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function(){ $('#photos').galleryView({ panel_width: 800, panel_height: 300, frame_width: 100, frame_height: 100 }); }); </script> It works fine. When I try and pull all the scripts out of the page and inject them back in using document.write() I get an error on IE: Code: Code: sb.append("(function(){ document.write('" + " <script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"http://spaceforaname.com/js/jquery-1.3.2.min.js\"></script> " + " <script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"http://spaceforaname.com/js/jquery.easing.1.3.js\"></script> " + " <script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"http://spaceforaname.com/js/jquery-galleryview-1.1/jquery.galleryview-1.1.js\"></script> " + " <script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"http://spaceforaname.com/js/jquery-galleryview-1.1/jquery.timers-1.1.2.js\"></script> " + " <script type=\"text/javascript\"> " + " $(document).ready(function(){ " + " $(\"#photos\").galleryView({ " + " panel_width: 800, " + " panel_height: 300, " + " frame_width: 100, " + " frame_height: 100 " + " }); " + " }); " + " </script> " +............+ "')})()"); The variable sb is a StringBuffer and is formatted and returned: Code: Code: nextPage.setValue(sb.toString()); nextPage.setEscapeHTML(false); return nextPage; This particular error in this case in IE(8) is: Object expected which I think is referring to the jQuery as the resulting images are displayed just not in Galleryview style. This is really wracking my brains and any and all help is appreciated. D. Hello, i would like to advise me on sthg. I have built a website using a)MySQL b)HTML c)PHP and d)Javascript. My website consists of basic html pages/templates which have links to the left and point to another templates/pages. For example, i have 4 templates in my site 1st template is for: News 2nd : Library 3nd : Articles 4th : E-shop Each template consists of 1. a small menu with links,every link points to another page 2.space for the content/text of the html page 3. a form for searching in the website using php and a mysql database. Well, i'm thinking of adding some animation in my website using the jquery library.Let's say we have an accordion which has 4 choices and when the user clicks on the first choice the 1st template(NEWS) appears inside the slide of accordion,loads in the same slide, not in a new page!!!This is what i would like to do, place in each slide of the accordion one of my templates. CAn this be done??? Which are the disadvantages of adding in each slide of the accordion a different template for my site and remain in the same slide when the user clicks in one of the links of the template??? Consider that i'm using dynamic content and not static, i have a MySQL database behind. Also,as i have seen in most examples the options of accordion usually contain an image, a content, a text or links which open in a new window or tab not inside the slide!!!These links do not load in the same slide!!i would like to have a template which loads in the slide each time the user clicks on a link of it. CAn this be done?? I would be glad if sm could advise me! Thanks, in advance!!! So I found this code and I've manipulated it a little bit for what I want. It was designed to autocomplete an input field when countries were typed, but I changed the values to match ingredients or cooking terms, etc. I was wondering if it would be possible through javascript to autcomplete a word after one is already typed in the input field. For instance, if one person types an 'f' into the input field it will suggest 'flour' as an autocomplete, but if the person types 'f' again, it will not perform the same autocomplete function. How would you go about doing that? Thank you! Code: <head> <script type="text/javascript"> /* This script and many more are available free online at The JavaScript Source!! http://javascript.internet.com Created by: Timothy Groves | http://www.brandspankingnew.net/ */ countries = new Array( "flour", "cup", "tsp.", "tbsp.", "lb.", "pound", "tablespoon", "teaspoon", "sugar", "olive oil", "vegetable oil", "gallon", "quart", "qt." ); var sug = ""; var sug_disp = ""; function getCountry() { var input = document.forms['address_frm'].country.value; var len = input.length; sug_disp = ""; sug = ""; if (input.length) { // get matching country from array for (ele in countries) { if (countries[ele].substr(0,len).toLowerCase() == input.toLowerCase()) { sug_disp = input + countries[ele].substr(len); sug = countries[ele]; break; } } } document.forms['address_frm'].sug_country.value = sug_disp; if (!sug.length || input == sug_disp) document.getElementById('sug_btn').style.display = "none"; else document.getElementById('sug_btn').style.display = "block"; } function setCountry() { document.forms['address_frm'].country.value = sug; hideSug(); } function hideSug() { document.forms['address_frm'].sug_country.value = ""; document.getElementById('sug_btn').style.display = "none"; } </script> </head> <body> <div style="width: 202px; margin: 100px auto 0 auto;"> <form name="address_frm"> <div></a> <div style="position: relative; margin: 5px 0 5px 0; height: 30px;"> <div style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 200px; z-index: 1;"> <input type="text" name="sug_country" style="background-color: #fff; border: 1px solid #999; width: 200px; padding: 2px" disabled /> </div> <div style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 200px; z-index: 2;"> <input autocomplete="off" type="text" name="country" style="background: none; color:#000; border: 1px solid #999; width: 200px; padding: 2px" onfocus="getCountry()" onkeyup="getCountry()" /> </div> <div id="sug_btn" style="position: absolute; top: 2px; right: 5px; z-index: 4; display:none;"> <p onclick="setCountry()" style="cursor:pointer">></p> </div> </div> </form> </div> </div> </body> How do I fix the problem that autocomplete does not validate, I have heard before that there is a dirty way to do this but did not want to do this before, but now feel i must as my boss wants the site error free ! does anyone know how I do this ? Hi all, I am trying to create a dependend autocomplete (based on JQuery) box for example: Field 1 has a autocomplete value of America. Field 2 has to fetch based on the value America the availible states like Kansas However if field 1 has the value England i want field 2 to reflect this by offering for example Schotland. I have the following code in place: Code: $( document).ready( function() { var ac_config = { source: "getcountry.php", select: function(event, ui){ $("# field1").val(ui.item.name), $("# field1hidden").val(ui.item.id); }, minLength:3 }; $("# field1").autocomplete(ac_config); } ); The code above will autocomplete the field1 (country's) input field and an hidden id field. Now i want to base the selection of field2 (the states) on the returned value in field1. i have the following code to try and do this (placed inside document.ready function()): Code: var stateinput = document.getElementById('field1').value var ac_config2 = { source: "getstate.php?country=" + stateinput, select: function(event, ui){ $("# field2").val(ui.item.name), $("# field2hidden").val(ui.item.id); }, minLength:3 }; $("# field2").autocomplete(ac_config); However the selection is not restricted based on the given input. Can anybody tell me what i am doing wrong? Thanx in advance..... Hello, i have coded this page: http://www.advance2000.net/system/ad...rchasepeso.php click on the "ADD ITEM" button TWICE. now you have created two rows of textboxes. next, enter the letter "M" on the description textbox on the second row. this would then initialize an autocomplete function... you will see two words "memory" and "motherboard" try clicking one of these.. after clicking, i guess you will notice the error in my program. the clicked value (for example "memory") would be sent in the FIRST ROW TEXTBOX instead of the second.... can anyone help me? Here is the Code of the said Dynamic Textbox: Code: <script language ="javascript"> row_no=0; function addRow(tbl,row){ row_no++; if (row_no<=200){ if (row_no<=200){ if (row_no>=100){ var textbox = '<input type="text" id="item[]" value='+row_no+' size = "2" maxlength= "99" name="item[]>"';} if (row_no<100){ var textbox = '<input type="text" id="item[]" value='+row_no+' size = "2" maxlength= "99" name="item[]">';} var textbox2 = '<input type="text" id="stockcode[]" size = "20" maxlength= "100" name="stockcode[]">'; var textbox3 = '<input type="text" autocomplete="off" id="description" size = "95" maxlength= "100" name="description" onkeyup="lookup(this.value);" onChange="fill();"><div class="suggestionsBox" id="suggestions" style="display: none;"><img src="upArrow.png" style="position: relative; top: -12px; left: 30px;" alt="upArrow" /><div class="suggestionList" id="autoSuggestionsList"></div>'; var textbox4 = '<input type="text" id="qty'+row_no+'" size = "6" maxlength= "100" onChange="Sum()" name="qty[]">'; var textbox5 = '<input type="text" id="price'+row_no+'" size = "15" maxlength= "100" onChange="Sum()" name="price[]">'; var textbox6 = '<input type="text" id="subtotal'+row_no+'" size = "15" maxlength= "101" onChange="Grand()" name="subtotal[]" readonly>'; var tbl = document.getElementById(tbl); var rowIndex = document.getElementById(row).value; var newRow = tbl.insertRow(row_no); var newCell = newRow.insertCell(0); newCell.innerHTML = textbox; var newCell = newRow.insertCell(1); newCell.innerHTML = textbox2; var newCell = newRow.insertCell(2); newCell.innerHTML = textbox3; var newCell = newRow.insertCell(3); newCell.innerHTML = textbox4; var newCell = newRow.insertCell(4); newCell.innerHTML = textbox5; var newCell = newRow.insertCell(5); newCell.innerHTML = textbox6; } if (row_no>200){ alert ("Too Many Items. Limit of 20."); } } } </script> The VAR TEXTBOX 3 would create the said "description textbox" that is also the textbox that calls the "Fill()" and the Lookup() function of the autocomplete HERE, we have the said functions: Code: function lookup(description) { if(description.length == 0) { // Hide the suggestion box. $('#suggestions').hide(); } else { $.post("rpc.php", {queryString: ""+description+""}, function(data){ if(data.length >0) { $('#suggestions').show(); $('#autoSuggestionsList').html(data); } }); } } // lookup function fill(thisValue) { $('#description').val(thisValue); setTimeout("$('#suggestions').hide();", 200); } Hi So, I have a working single autocomplete function, but I want to use the same function on different fields.... this is my code: Code: <script type="text/javascript"> function lookup(inputString) { if(inputString.length == 0) { // Hide the suggestion box. $('#suggestions').hide(); } else { $.post("rpc.php", {queryString: ""+inputString+""}, function(data){ if(data.length >0) { $('#suggestions').show(); $('#autoSuggestionsList').html(data); } }); } } // lookup function fill(thisValue) { $('#inputString').val(thisValue); setTimeout("$('#suggestions').hide();", 200); } </script> <div> <form> <script type="text/javascript"> var index = '1'; </script> <div> Type your county: <br /> <input type="text" size="30" value="" id="inputString" onkeyup="lookup(this.value);" onblur="fill();" /> </div> <div> Type your county: <br /> <input type="text" size="30" value="" id="inputString" onkeyup="lookup(this.value);" onblur="fill();" /> </div> <div class="suggestionsBox" id="suggestions" style="display: none;"> <img src="upArrow.png" style="position: relative; top: -12px; left: 30px;" alt="upArrow" /> <div class="suggestionList" id="autoSuggestionsList"> </div> </div> </form> </div> I know the id's are the same in this, but I tried changing them and it still seems to make little difference.. I did wonder if I could add something variable to the id's and pass that in the function call, but could not figure it out.... the above gives me autocomplete on two fields, but will only fill one of them...

Your help with this is greatly appreciated Glen Hi All, Im a newbie when it comes to Javascript and trying to learn as I go along. I am working on an internal work site. In the site I have a text box and on entering a specific code I want it to open a new page that links to a document that has the same name. ie. if user types red, I want it to find the document red.html in a folder. To make my colleagues job easier, I want the text box to autocomplete. Below is a section of the code I plan to use Code: <script> var arrValues = ["red", "orange", "yellow", "green", "blue", "indigo", "violet", "brown"]; </script> </head> <body> <h2>Autocomplete Textbox Example</h2> <p>Type in a color in lowercase:<br /> <input type="text" value="" id="txt1" onkeypress="return autocomplete(this, event, arrValues)" /></p> </body> </html>Can anyone help me to modify this to: 1) link the text entered to the document I want opened 2) open this document upon 'enter' pressed If anyone can provide help it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Glen http://auspost.com.au/apps/postcode.html Basically I want to build the same thing. The data is freely available there as a download. I couldn't find anything existing in the jquery plugin space. Can anyone offer pointers on how to achieve it? First off, I'd like to say that I do not know much javascript. I am building a rather intensive website for tutorial purposes, and so far it has required me to become quite familiar with html5, css, php, and mysql. However, I've avoided javascript like the plague due to how different it seems from the rest. Lets just say, I'm confused. I've scoured the net looking for a similar tutorial on how to create a pop-up window onclick for a link. This is what I currently have it doing: Firstly, I query and display the DB, referencing images based on an incremental variable. I really want to make it all automatic...in the sense, that when I update the database with a new "Structure" it will automatically apply itself to the page without me having to edit html/css/js/php/etc. It all seems to be working fine, except when I click on the second listing. It refers to the same div (Town Center), because, I assume, the divs are identically labeled, and it refers to the first. Here is my code: This is my Callstructures.php file. Code: <?php $query = "SELECT str_name, str_imageloc, str_infoloc FROM structures"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die ("Error in query: $query. ".mysql_error()); $i = 0; if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) { while(list($str_name, $str_imageloc, $str_infoloc) = mysql_fetch_row($result)) { echo "<li>"; echo "<a href='#' onClick='javascript: loadPopup()';>"; echo "<img src='$str_imageloc' title='$str_name' longdesc='$str_infoloc' alt='stralt text' class='image$i'>"; echo "</a>"; echo "</li>"; echo "<div id='popupContact'>"; include ($str_infoloc); echo "</div>"; $i++; } } ?> This is my main page: Structures.php Code: <body> <div id =allstr> <ul> <?php include 'gamephp/callstructures.php'; ?> </ul> <div id="backgroundPopup"></div> </div> </body> </div> </html> And here is the JavaScript I am using, popup.js: Code: /***************************/ //@Author: Adrian "yEnS" Mato Gondelle //@website: www.yensdesign.com //@email: yensamg@gmail.com //@license: Feel free to use it, but keep this credits please! /***************************/ //SETTING UP OUR POPUP //0 means disabled; 1 means enabled; var popupStatus = 0; //loading popup with jQuery magic! function loadPopup(){ //loads popup only if it is disabled if(popupStatus==0){ $("#backgroundPopup").css({ "opacity": "0.7" }); $("#backgroundPopup").fadeIn("slow"); $("#popupContact").fadeIn("slow"); popupStatus = 1; } } //disabling popup with jQuery magic! function disablePopup(){ //disables popup only if it is enabled if(popupStatus==1){ $("#backgroundPopup").fadeOut("slow"); $("#popupContact").fadeOut("slow"); popupStatus = 0; } } //centering popup function centerPopup(){ //request data for centering var windowWidth = document.documentElement.clientWidth; var windowHeight = document.documentElement.clientHeight; var popupHeight = $("#popupContact").height(); var popupWidth = $("#popupContact").width(); //centering $("#popupContact").css({ "position": "absolute", "top": windowHeight/2-popupHeight/2, "left": windowWidth/2-popupWidth/2 }); //only need force for IE6 $("#backgroundPopup").css({ "height": windowHeight }); } //CONTROLLING EVENTS IN jQuery $(document).ready(function(){ //LOADING POPUP //Click the button event! $("#button").click(function(){ centerPopup(); loadPopup(); }); //CLOSING POPUP //Click the x event! $("#popupContactClose").click(function(){ disablePopup(); }); //Click out event! $("#backgroundPopup").click(function(){ disablePopup(); }); //Press Escape event! $(document).keypress(function(e){ if(e.keyCode==27 && popupStatus==1){ disablePopup(); } }); }); And the CSS for the popup: Code: /* pop up css */ html, body, div, span, applet, object, iframe, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, blockquote, pre, a, abbr, acronym, address, big, cite, code, del, dfn, em, font, img, ins, kbd, q, s, samp, small, strike, strong, sub, sup, tt, var, dl, dt, dd, ol, ul, li, fieldset, form, label, legend, table, caption, tbody, tfoot, thead, tr, th, td { border:0pt none; font-family:inherit; font-size:100%; font-style:inherit; font-weight:inherit; margin:0pt; padding:0pt; vertical-align:baseline; } body{ background:#fff none repeat scroll 0%; line-height:1; font-size: 12px; font-family:arial,sans-serif; margin:0pt; height:100%; } table { border-collapse:separate; border-spacing:0pt; } caption, th, td { font-weight:normal; text-align:left; } blockquote:before, blockquote:after, q:before, q:after { content:""; } blockquote, q { quotes:"" ""; } a{ cursor: pointer; text-decoration:none; } br.both{ clear:both; } #backgroundPopup{ display:none; position:fixed; _position:absolute; /* hack for internet explorer 6*/ height:100%; width:100%; top:0; left:0; background:#000000; border:1px solid #cecece; z-index:1; } #popupContact{ display:none; position:fixed; _position:absolute; /* hack for internet explorer 6*/ height:384px; width:408px; background:#FFFFFF; border:2px solid #cecece; z-index:2; padding:12px; font-size:13px; } #popupContact h1{ text-align:left; color:#6FA5FD; font-size:22px; font-weight:700; border-bottom:1px dotted #D3D3D3; padding-bottom:2px; margin-bottom:20px; } #popupContactClose{ font-size:14px; line-height:14px; right:6px; top:4px; position:absolute; color:#6fa5fd; font-weight:700; display:block; } #button{ text-align:center; margin:100px; } Should I keep this code? Is there anyway to make it work? My thought process is to change "callstructures" to include a variable ($i is already there) that creates a bunch of unique div ids Code: echo "<div id='popupContact$i'>"; Then in the JS, somehow alter it so it recognizes the change. If not, are there any tips, or possible links to tutorials and info on how I can figure this out. With much appreciation, Thanks!

I have a JQuery autosuggest working properly on my form.php page... Now I want to get my form to actual POST the input values. So currently if I just run search.php, I get the following (using echo json_encode): {"label":"Henry Gale","value":"henrygale@gmail.com"},{"label":"Amy Gerges","value":"amy@yahoo.com"}, and the list goes on. So since the search is working properly. Now, I want to POST only the values that I place in the form's input field. I currently have: Code: <script> $(document).ready(function() { $( "#autocomp" ).autoSuggest("search.php", { minChars: 2, selectedItemProp: "label", searchObjProps: "label", selectedValuesProp: "value", selectionLimit: 8, formatList: function(data, elem){ var my_image = data.image ; var my_label = data.label; var new_elem = elem.html(my_image + my_label); return new_elem; } }); }); </script> <input name="contacts" type="text" id="autocomp" maxlength="35" /> But if I do an echo of the $_POST['contacts'] I just get the word: Array I am doing something wrong, just not sure what... Since my input gets a list of comma separated values, how can I: 1) make sure the input values get the "value" attribute which corresponds to the emails. 2) post the emails so I can do things with the emails (run them through format checks, insert them into a mysql db, etc). Here is what I'm envisioning: The user selects a state, then in the 'Cities' box, he starts typing the name of his city. However, it autocompletes the name for him based on the state he chose. So if he chose California and started typing in "Los Angeles", it would autocomplete "Los Angeles" for him. Does that make sense? Is there a script out there that can do this? Not new to programming but I am to JQuery (and j/script in general). I need to query a mysql database to return a small amount of data (some text) based on a user code (e.g. MrABC). I could use an iFrame and PHP but if the internet connection is down I do not want error messages displayed - the intended audience have limited cognitive capabilities and will not cope with ERROR 404 etc... Essentially I need to be able to create a function that can be called with a parameter of the usercode and which returns the text from the lookup. What I put in the function is a complete mystery to me ... Ok so Im going to break down what Im trying to do and hopefully someone can point me to a possible solution without getting all technical. I have 2 div tags. the first is a content container more or less. the second is a container for a php built calender (using html tables). Basically when the page loads the php builds the calenders html table code. each td element has an onclick event handler. The goal is to have the javascript handler execute when any non empty cell is clicked (non empty being that it has a date associated with it and is not a blank space filler). This is the easy part. The hard part is that each calendar day potentially has certain information associated with it stored in a mysql database. Im wanting input fields within the first container div to autopopulate with the information from the database (if any) for whatever day is clicked. Ive search around and heard things like javascript cant do mysql queries directly, and heard mention of ajax. So im stumped as to how to accomplish this. whether i need an external php script for the queries (perhaps inside a php function that can return data to the javascript that calls it?), but if that is plausable would it cause page loads or the like to the user? i really dont want to have to learn ajax for this one page, just seems excessive, but i do need a way to make the content in the first div populate with the respective database data for the selected day on the calendar. any thoughts, comments, or solutions that dont involve yet another web language would be greatly appreciated. thanks
