I'm trying to create a text input that uses ajax to get search results from the PHP script. Basically, at the moment the script sends each letter 1 by 1 to the PHP, which has to query the results from the database on each letter.
Instead, I would like it to be like if you type "Word" in 1 second, it just searches for entire "Word" instead of doing several searches for "W", "Wo", "Wor", "Word".
I tried to use window.SetTimetout for it, but that just makes it the search run 2 seconds late, but the letters are still sent 1 by 1.
$("#search").keyup(function(e) {
var keyword = $("#search").val();
window.setTimeout(function() {
$.ajax({
url: "GetItemList.php?search="+keyword,
success: function(result) {
$(".left").html(result);
}
});
},2000);
});
var lastTimeout = null;
$("#search").keyup(function(e) {
var keyword = $("#search").val();
if (lastTimeout)
clearTimeout(lastTimeout)
lastTimeout = window.setTimeout(function() {
$.ajax({
url: "GetItemList.php?search="+keyword,
success: function(result) {
$(".left").html(result);
}
});
},2000);
});
You need to check if there is already a timeout active before you create a new one. Something like this:
var myTimeout = null;
$("#search").keyup(function(e) {
var keyword = $("#search").val();
if(myTimeout != null) {
myTimeout = window.setTimeout(function() {
$.ajax({
url: "GetItemList.php?search="+keyword,
success: function(result) {
$(".left").html(result);
myTimeout = null;
}
});
},2000);
}
});
This way, if you were to keep typing continuously for 10 seconds, you would end up with 4 or 5 requests total, one every 2 seconds or so.
