There's a typo, use

$('#search_item_result').html(data);

hi,

I have a small jQuery script, that get some data over the server on
every keypress by the user, but I don't to perform such action every
time when the user presses a key, specially if between key presses
happens in short amount of time. How do I delay this event?

Here is my script

$('[EMAIL PROTECTED]').keyup(function(e){
if (e.target.value != ''){
$.get('/main/search_item/',
{search_item:e.target.value},
function(data){
$('[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]').html(data);
}
);
}
});

thanks
james




var delayed;
$('[EMAIL PROTECTED]').keyup(function() {
clearTimeout(delayed);
var value = this.value;
if (value) {
delayed = setTimeout(function() {
$.get('/main/search_item/', { search_item: value }, 
function(data) {

$('#search_item_result]').html(data);
});
}, 400);
}
});


I've optimized a few things as well, like using the faster #id selector 
and using "this" instead of e.target...

I think he wants to delay the keyup event but i don't think you can't 
delay that because it's the trigger for the actions.
