I asked this question earlier but did not quite word it right. I am using a live search example with the following code:
<script>
function showResult(str) {
if (str.length==0) {
document.getElementById("livesearch").innerHTML="";
document.getElementById("livesearch").style.border="0px";
return;
}
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
} else { // code for IE6, IE5
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>
This sets the contents of the livesearch Div to a list of items echoed by the php script livesearch.php. This is pretty close to my goal, but I actually want each echoed item to be in their own expandable div such as this JQuery example.
My return string looks like this:
Title 1
Info 1 about title 1
Info 2 about title 1
Title 2
Info 1 about title 2
Info 2 about title 2
Here is the livesearch.php:
<?php
$xmlDoc=new DOMDocument();
$xmlDoc->load("spells.xml");
$x=$xmlDoc->getElementsByTagName('title');
$y=$xmlDoc->getElementsByTagName('type');
$z=$xmlDoc->getElementsByTagName('casting');
$a=$xmlDoc->getElementsByTagName('range');
$b=$xmlDoc->getElementsByTagName('description');
$q=$_GET["q"];
$hint="";
$results = array();
for($i=0; $i<($x->length); $i++)
{
if(stristr($x->item($i)->nodeValue,$q))
{
array_push( $results, $i );
}
}
foreach( $results as $result )
{
echo ' <div>';
echo ' <h1>'.$x->item($result)->nodeValue.'</h1>';
echo ' <p>Type: '.$y->item($result)->nodeValue.'<br>';
echo ' Time: '.$z->item($result)->nodeValue.'<br>';
echo ' Range: '.$a->item($result)->nodeValue.'<br>';
echo ' Description: '.$b->item($result)->nodeValue.'</p>';
echo ' </div>';
}
?>
Currently they are all echoed back as a single string. I'm not quite sure how I can separate each line of the string into its own Div.
Does anyone know how to do this? Any hint in the right direction would be really appreciated.
