A new JavaScript search

This has probably been done before, but check out my ajax-like search! Very easy code, it just uses the text on the page. But you can rewrite it to talk to php scripts, I guess I will do this later, and perhaps explain the code a little.

And please comment if some of the code should be changed for better appearance. I can see that the divs don’t float the way they should. I will check this later.

UPDATE: works now in IE. The reason it didn’t work was that document.getElementsByName() isn’t working in IE (at least IE7). I found a fix and implemented it.

  1. “I can see that the divs don’t float the way they should.”

    Change this:
    quotes[i].style.visibility=”visible”;

    to this:
    quotes[i].style.display=”block”;

    and this:
    quotes[i].style.visibility=”hidden”;

    to this:
    quotes[i].style.display=”none”;

  2. Thanks Mike, I appreciate this. I’m not on my own computer right now but i’ll change it later.
