thanks jeff,the app is very good,but i found a problem,it not support chinese?could you tell me how to resolve it ? my email:lian_fang@hotmail.com

wow lian, I have not given any thought to additional language support. I would imagine that maybe the keystrokes that you are catching in the onKeyPress events would have to change.

jeff, i created many docs via the agent "PopulateSampleDate",and then i edit one doc's lastname.and then i use the page "testLookup.foo" to searching something, it will show a javascript error, and no search result.

I made an error where my import created the EmployeeID and PhoneNumber fields as numbers but the form "Employee" had them set as Text. So when you saved the entry, it converted the phone and id fields to text, and my code was looking for a "number" node. I will change the attached template so that will not happen again.

i have found the question,just as you said, i edit the doc and save it ,the type of "Employee" and "PhoneNumber" have being set as Text.
thanks jeff.

i input "a" and the result div display all name include "a",then i clear the "a",and focus other place,the div has being hidden.now i input the "a" second,the result div is not display

Being a novice, I have a prob that may be blindingly obvious to most of you.. I hope. Installed the app on our server but when I select a returned name from a search I get the error 'Http Status code 404: file not found or unable to read file". In the address bar it shows http://ipaddress/detailPage.foo?empId=7764
Any ideas please ?
Thanks

Sorry Dean, I meant to create a basic detail page that can show more detail on the person you selected. There is nothing wrong with the baseline function of the app, but anyone can add a new "detailPage.foo" form which catches the query_string and parses the "empId" value. With this value the form can do a lookup to a view and populate other detail fields. I'll add the page in and repost tomorrow.

Thanks, Jeff. Playing with this has helped me learn a lot. I just have one problem...
I added a "Notes" field titled EmployeeName to the form and added a 'save' button in order to save and store the selected name. When I save, the document reloads and the table (div) with the choicelist containing the selected name appears. Am confused because the InitQueryCode hides the div. Any recommendations on how to save the selected name without having the choicelist appear when the form reloads (is saved)? I am new to this.

I need some clarification. You are using the drop down in a Notes form, and you are saving the form with the selected value? I would think the post-save form would still have some text in the input field? If you want the choicelist div to disappear on reload, you may need to have some javascript clear out the input field when the form reloads.

Hi Jeff, The drop-down is on a "Notes" form that is used in a browser (IE6), not the Notes client. The form is saved with the selected value because I'm trying to give end users a "Notes-like" experience of a keyword drop-down. Since the (EmployeeName) field needs to be cleared in order for the div to hide, it sounds like I'm going to need to use 2 fields. One for the end user to select the value and a separate field to store and display the selected value to the end user after the form is saved and/or reloaded. What do you think?

Now I know what you are up to.
In your EmployeeName field onBlur() event, use this:
showDiv(0)
The showDiv function is what toggles the div. If the user were to place the cursor back in the field, they would see the div again with its old results.

if the search result is too many in the div, then i want to add a scrolling bar in the div,how to do??

First: Thanks Jeff for this wonderful piece of JavaScript-Code =)
You really saved me a lot of work..!
But if i use the code "as is", i got a problem with my Firefoxes (1.5 and 2.0+) every time a new http-request is sent to the server resp. received: Firebug complains about "globalDom", which - it says - has no properties:
"globalDom has no properties
[Break on this error] var entryNodes = globalDom.getElementsByTagName('viewentry');"
This problem only occurres the second time i enter a letter. So i tried to use
"alert(new XMLSerializer().serializeToString(globalDom));",
which causes Firefox to throw an exception... (but only the second time!)
After searching the web i found someone who got a similar problem. That guy solved his problem by using a new request-object for each request. So did i and it worked fine..!
So in the function "doRemoteQuery(queryString)" you have to alter the line:
"xmlHttp=getXMLHTTP();"
to:
"var xmlHttp=getXMLHTTP();"
and the fox is happy...
As this should not use more memory, you can consider it an little improvement on cross-browser-capability =)
Kind regards,
Stefan
