You right!
Quick question though! Do you know how i can make the script pass the
character i type to be passed to the php script which intend return the
search result matching the character in the textbox?
I have type done something like this;
echo "Operator"; in my php and that is all i see when i start typing in the
textbox but anything relating to the resultset.
Do i need to customize the jQuery further to achieve this or the php results
needs bit more formating?
pls hlp
