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 index 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...
