Hi, I''m using AutoComplete from script.aculo.us and want to combine this with a call to a database. Is there any work done so far or do I have to implement all on my own. The only thing I have seen is using results from a file on the server. But that is not very handy. Some words to my background. I''m programming for a project at my university. Our aim is to combine the advantages of wikis and the semantic web approach. So we will have to show our users what is behind the forms.

It doesn''t load a file on the server, it makes a call to a URL on your server. That means, that you can just use the server-side web development language of your choice to generate the results dynamically. Some frameworks have support for that built-in (like Ruby on Rails), for others you''d have to implement it yourself. Be sure to have a look at this presentation: http://www.slash7.com/interface/web_2.pdf It explains what Ajax is all about (and what Ajax controls do), and explains some basic code (in this case, in PHP) to get it going. -Thomas Am 14.01.2006 um 12:51 schrieb Sebastian Kurt:> Hi, > I''m using AutoComplete from script.aculo.us and want to combine > this with a call to a database.

Re: Using AutoComplete(script.aculo.us) with DB-Query
okay thanks, I will read those textes. I thaught not about changing the code I get from script.aculo.us, but that is probably the most effectiv way. Does the result behind the "url" have to have any preset format or is only copied to the function-call? the only documention I found was the wiki on script.aculo.us is there some more? thanks Sebastian Kurt PS: Wir verstehen uns wohl auch, wenn ich ihn Deutsch schreibe ;-) beste Grüße aus Berlin nach Wien!
