When the user is in When characters are typed in the input box above, the "showResult()" function will be executed. This function is triggered by the "onkeyup" event:
<html> <head> <script> function showResult(str) { if (str.length==0) { document.getElementById("livesearch").innerHTML=""; document.getElementById("livesearch").style.border="0px"; return; } if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {// IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari 浏览器执行 xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest(); } else {// IE6, IE5 浏览器执行 xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function() { if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200) { document.getElementById("livesearch").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText; document.getElementById("livesearch").style.border="1px solid #A5ACB2"; } } xmlhttp.open("GET","livesearch.php?q="+str,true); xmlhttp.send(); } </script> </head> <body> <form> <input type="text" size="30" onkeyup="showResult(this.value)"> <div id="livesearch"></div> </form> </body> </html>
Source code explanation:
If the input box is empty (str.length==0), this function will Clear the contents of the livesearch placeholder and exit the function.
If the input box is not empty, then showResult() will perform the following steps:
· Create an XMLHttpRequest object
· Create a function to be executed when the server response is ready
·
# · PHP fileThe source code in "livesearch.php" searches the XML file for titles that match the search string and returns the results:
<?php $xmlDoc=new DOMDocument(); $xmlDoc->load("links.xml"); $x=$xmlDoc->getElementsByTagName('link'); // 从 URL 中获取参数 q 的值 $q=$_GET["q"]; // 如果 q 参数存在则从 xml 文件中查找数据 if (strlen($q)>0) { $hint=""; for($i=0; $i<($x->length); $i++) { $y=$x->item($i)->getElementsByTagName('title'); $z=$x->item($i)->getElementsByTagName('url'); if ($y->item(0)->nodeType==1) { // 找到匹配搜索的链接 if (stristr($y->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue,$q)) { if ($hint=="") { $hint="<a href='" . $z->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue . "' target='_blank'>" . $y->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue . "</a>"; } else { $hint=$hint . "<br /><a href='" . $z->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue . "' target='_blank'>" . $y->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue . "</a>"; } } } } } // 如果没找到则返回 "no suggestion" if ($hint=="") { $response="no suggestion"; } else { $response=$hint; } // 输出结果 echo $response; ?>If JavaScript sends any text (i.e. strlen($q ) > 0), what will happen: · Load the XML file into a new XML DOM object· using using using using using using using ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ ‐ - to find the text that matches the text passed by JavaScript· Set the correct URL and title in the "$response" variable. If more than one match is found, all matches are added to the variable. · If no match is found, set the $response variable to "no suggestion".
