Sly new coding feature

Dec62005

Updated my AJAX selector, the bit of a form that (on here) looks like this:



but you can't click that one, it's just an image... Usually when you see one of these on one of my pages it's going to select something from one of my databases, but I put some new functionality behind it so that it can grab things from Amazon where relevant. This means I can easily select a relevant Amazon product to push in your direction!

If you've not seen these boxes before, you type something into it, and then some code behind the scenes finds some things that match. I typed AJAX programming into the box, and the code behind the scenes found these matches at Amazon:



I think I hid this option from you, the punter, but maybe now I'll open it up again. Post a reply / comment (and choose "Show me more fields and buttons for this message!) if you want to see this in action. Might be a bit slow, hold tight.

Oh no, I wrote a long boring post about programming again, without giving away any useful information!

UPDATE: All replaced now with jquery.autocomplete.js.

:: Comment / reply

Over to you, discussion about anything local, but please be considerate... Folkestone on TV, Kent gigs, Find a flatmate, rent a room, property queries, current news, what's new, local events, for sale, local services, what I like about Folkestone, ask questions, offer advice, plug yourself... the more it's used the more useful a resource it will become. If you want a gig listed click here to add it (fixed now!), or just click here to post a message...
