What is the technical term for this feature?

[usman07]

Is Javascript used to create this type is feature? how difficult is it to create this sort of feature?

 

On this image, where it says 'filter your results' if a user clicks 'Detached Houses' then only detached houses will be displayed. if a user clicks 'Semi-detached' then only semi detached houses will be shown.

 

Whats the technical term for this type of feature, and can you point me towards any tutorials etc, would really appreciate it. thank you!

 

This what I have so far and im told this code can create this type of feature, but i really dont have a clue.

<script type="text/javascript">

var properties = {$properties_json};

// very simple getter method that uses a single key-value pair.
var selectProperties(k, v) {
  var rv = [];
  for (var i in properties) {
    if (properties[i][k] == v) {
      rv.push(properties[i]);
    }
  }
  return rv;
} // selectProperties()


</script>

We need a better understanding of what's happening currently. Can your server handle serving the results filtered and paginated already, or are you just working from some static HTML? I.e. have you already programmed the search engine in PHP or are you asking literally what needs to be done to have filters?
