nealios Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Hello, On facebook the search box on the side enables you to search for friends and new people. When you type in the name of a person that is already your friend it dynamically creates a drop down list with all the people in your friends that has that name. Ive looked everywhere to find some examples of similar coding to no avail. I have no real idea how to even start, ive looked at W3 schools but there live search works from an XML file rather than connecting to a database. What i want to do is have a customer search within my system that when i type in a first name/surname all the people that meet that criteria will automatically appear. Anyone have any idea of how i can do this? Many thanks nealios Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/80040-facebook-users-dynamic-search/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
clang Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Check this site out http://members.aol.com/barryaandrew/xmlhttp/article.html It's very well documented about how to create dynamic search as well as select boxes and other things. Basically every time the user enters in a letter, you send what they've typed to a separate processing page, and it returns the results.
