Automatic detection of technologies and parameters

Question

I would like to enable auto suggestion on my site. Which option should I pursue? Are there any advantages when navigating jQuery and Javascript? What about the flaws?

How about having local javascript request information with server-side JSP? I have about 10,000 keywords in my database that I will use.

I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Answer 1

This is not jQuery and Javascript. jQuery is just cleverly written javascript designed to make your life easier, and it does just that. In fact, instead of creating an auto-suggestion element from scratch, you can download the autosuggest plugins created with / for jQuery.

As for working with 10,000 items, I think I would turn off asynchronous requests while the user types to get specific items. If the user enters “application”, you can find all keywords that begin with “application” and return them as populations in the startup field. This would significantly reduce bandwidth and load time.

Answer 2

You can do this in any programming language. You can study OpenSearch specifications and formats, though, to provide something universal and reusable from third parties.

Answer 3

In my opinion, jQuery is a great option. I personally used http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Autocomplete , and this plugin is pretty promising.

For 10,000 items, you can use indexing in a specific column in the database to speed up the search process.

i next steps

create a dictionary in the client using json or something 1. wait for inputs > 4 characters in the text box 2. send the request to server using ajax 3. use like search in your sql query. 4. send back the data to the client 5. pass the data to the text box div overlay so that it highlights. 6. add the same data set to the dictionary. this will help for later searches.
