AJAX DRIVEN AUTOCOMPLETE DEMO & SOURCE (Page 1 of 2)

@anoopmb, I have tested this Ajax Version. I would suggest that there shall be a Variable controlling to Use Ajax or Not in Config. The Ajax is needed if the list goes long. Secondly along with Ajax at least first 100 values shall be shown in the list.

Ajax searching is taking time. So Initially when the list is not long the user can set $ajax_use=false something like that.

Its a great feature.

@anoopmb: The changed files zip is a dead link.

@anoopmb : Thank u so much for your help with ajax autocomplete, I have integrated this mod in my code, I'm having more than 80k items in stock master and idea of having ajax search was to reduce page load time which is more than 2 mins without ajax implementation but adding ajax search its taking 1.8 mins which is not much improvement for me, can you please suggest what else may went wrong in my situation ?
PS : I have already added Indexing and other stuff to improve query performance..

You are the savior @anoopmb, thank u so muchh

@phpninja123 what is the time  for search now?

HI @boxygen

let me check, we can do that

@anoopmb, the download link is broken now.

@anoopmb. If possible kindly share any DropBox link of the Code. I was about to implement. Thanks

@anoopmb I have tested your code. it creates "popups" each key i type.

Like it creates like this " popups popups popups popups popups popups popups popups popups popups popups popups popups popups popups" .

<div class=" popups popups popups popups popups popups popups popups popups popups popups popups popups popups popups" style="position: fixed; left: 267.5px; top: 174px; width: 169px; display: none;"><div class="lister"><ul class="mselect-rset"><li title="" class=" anoselect" id="1">Donald Easter</li><li title="" class=" anoselect" id="2">MoneyMaker&nbsp;-&nbsp;EUR</li><li title="" class=" aselected" id="3">Varadha</li></ul></div></div>

Kindly fix it. also the Ajax concept i didnt understand. it brings all the elements in the customers when i see.

I mean, the ajax driven autocomplete means, when a FA has more than 1,00,000 customers. and when a user has to pick a right customer is from the drop down is complicated. So your auto complete helps to get it from the list.  But the problem is , the select list loads all the 1,00,000 customers in the list. So the FA freezes in its page load and its operations. So, when the customers list renders, it should show the most recent 10 customers in the list.  When the salesman starts typing the customer name, it should bring the filtered results from the server to narrow down the search and by the way it will not freeze or hang the invoice page.

The samething i already explained in your another topic which talks about autocomplete.

So i thought this one handles such a thing.

@anoopmb, thanks for the download link.

I can't find the Ajax enable/disable option in the config.php file as you said in Post#7. Can you please recheck

I doubt you have uploaded the non ajax version in the drop box  because the zip file doesn't contain the word ajax. Sorry for disturbing you. Please double check.

I applied it to FA246. I am sure this is non Ajax Version.

@anoopmb thanks, this is OK
