Close suggestion box when user click "Clear" button

jasoncdenson · December 20, 2013

How can I close the suggestion box when the user click the Clear button?
When the suggestion box is closed, how can the Search & Clear button move up to its original place?

What code should I insert to do this?

You can see the buttons when you run this code.

This is my current code:

<html>
    <head>
        <title>
            Brandon's Search Engine
        </title>
        <style type="text/css">
            #suggestion {
                border: 1px solid black;
                visibility: hidden;
                position: relative;
                background-color: white;
                z-index: 10;
            }
            #suggestion a {
                font-size: 12pt;
                color: black;
                text-decoration: none;
                display: block;
                width: 648px;
                height: auto;
                text-align: left;
                padding: 2px;
            }
            #suggestion a:hover {
                background-color: #dddddd;
                width: 644px;
                padding: 2px;
            }
        </style>
        <script type="text/javascript">

            //document.getElementById("suggestion")

            function getSuggestion(q) {
                var ajax;
                if(window.XMLHttpRequest)//for ie7+, FF, Chrome
                    ajax = new XMLHttpRequest();//ajax object
                else
                    ajax = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");//for ie6 and previous
                ajax.onreadystatechange = function() {
                    if(ajax.status === 200 && ajax.readyState === 4) {
                        //if result are not there then don't display them
                        if(ajax.responseText === "")
                            document.getElementById("suggestion").style.visibility = "hidden";
                        else {
                            document.getElementById("suggestion").style.visibility = "visible";
                            document.getElementById("suggestion").innerHTML = ajax.responseText;
                        }
                    }
                };
                ajax.open("GET", "suggestion.php?q=" + q, false);
                ajax.send();
            }
        </script>
        <script>
            function validateForm()
            {
            var x=document.forms["q"]["q"].value;
            if (x==null || x=="")
                {
                return false;
                }
            }
        </script>
    </head>

        <form method="GET" action="search.php" name="q" onsubmit="return validateForm()">

you need to bring your ajax up to date and into 2013 . Use Jquery to acomplish your ajax calls and bind your click events to the buttons:
