hi guys,
just want to ask some question.
i have two textboxes txt1 and txt2. these two possess jquery autocompletes within..
now, what i want to do is that this two are interconnected. Meaning, the values in autocomplete in txt2 will depend upon the values inputted in txt1.
consider this data:
middle name last name
dela cruz alfonso
antonio marquez
if i input dela cruz in txt1, the values in autocomplete in txt2 should only be alfonso and not marquez..
i already have my code in here, the autocomplete code is already finished for the both txtboxes, the problem is that the interconnection between them..
i also used ajax here, i can get the value if i output it in the same page where the two textboxes lie, but when i get it using the autocomplete php, it does not appear..could you please help..
*******this is my index.php
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='jquery.autocomplete.js'></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="jquery.autocomplete.css" />
<script type="text/javascript">
$().ready(function() {
$("#middleName").autocomplete("php/middlename.php",
{
width: 100,
matchContains: true,
selectFirst: false
});
$("#lastname").autocomplete("php/lastname.php",
{
width: 300,
matchContains: true,
selectFirst: false
});
});
function getLastName(str)
{
if (str=="")
{
document.getElementById("txtBuffer").innerHTML="";
return;
