利用PHP+JS实现搜索自动提示(实例)

<script src="jquery-1.2.1.pack.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function lookup(inputString) {
    if(inputString.length == 0) {
        // Hide the suggestion box.
        $(‘#suggestions').hide();
    } else {
        $.post("rpc.php", {queryString: ""+inputString+""}, function(data){
            if(data.length >0) {
                $(‘#suggestions').show();
                $(‘#autoSuggestionsList').html(data);
            }
        });
    }
} // lookup
function fill(thisValue) {
    $(‘#inputString').val(thisValue);
   $(‘#suggestions').hide();
}
</script>

// PHP5 Implementation - uses MySQLi.
$db = new mysqli(‘localhost', ‘root' ,”, ‘autoComplete');

        if(strlen($queryString) >0) {
        // Run the query: We use LIKE ‘$queryString%'
        // The percentage sign is a wild-card, in my example of countries it works like this…

                // Format the results, im using <li> for the list, you can change it.         
                // The onClick function fills the textbox with the result.
