Hello, I have a problem with a search field on my site and I hope you can help me. I got a table called "Clients" with some information like firstname, lastname, adress etc. and all MVC files. For testing I use the Client index function. In my view file I have a input field where I want to search for clients. when I type at least 4 letter the search function should automaticaly display the client names in a div container under the search field (like the google instant search). Basically it is working, but after first search I got a second input in my clients div and after some searches it will break. I think my solution is also not the right way to do this. Here is my code:
*Controller:* public function index($searchterm=NULL) { if ( $this->RequestHandler->isAjax() ) { $clients=$this->Client->find('list', array( 'conditions'=>array('LOWER(Client.lname) LIKE \''.$searchterm.'%\''), 'limit'=>500 )); $this->set('clients', $clients); } } * View:* <script type="text/javascript"> $(function() { $( "#element", this ).keyup(function( event ) { if( $(this).val().length >= 4 ) { $.ajax({ url: '/clients/index/' + escape( $(this).val() ), cache: false, type: 'GET', dataType: 'HTML', success: function (clients) { $('#clients').html(clients); } }); } }); }); </script> <?php echo $this->Form->input('element', array('id'=>'element'));?> <div id="clients"> <?php foreach ($clients as $client) { echo '<br>'; echo $client; } ?> </div> I hope you can help me to improve this a little... -- Like Us on FaceBook https://www.facebook.com/CakePHP Find us on Twitter http://twitter.com/CakePHP --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
