Ajax JavaScript problem...

[cichlid]

Please excuse my ignorance. What I know about JavaScript would fit on the back of a postage stamp...I'm making an Ajax-powered livesearch for my site by modifying an existing script written by someone who knows more about it than I.

I want to pass the values $q and $database to my PHP script via this javascript/ajax form. It works, but the value of "database" from the select isn't passed across. How do I do this?

<form action="livesearch_results.php" method="GET" target="searchWindow">
<input type="hidden" name="submitted" value="submit"/>

<input type="text" name="q" id="q" size="15" onkeyup="loadXMLDoc('livesearch_results.php?q='+this.value)" style="width:250px; " />

<select name="database" >
<option value="news">in news</option>
<option value="articles">in articles</option>
</select>

<div align="left" id="searchResult" name="searchResult"
style="font-family:Tahoma, Verdana; font-size:11px; width:300px; padding:3px; "></div>
</form>

Any suggestions would be extremely grateful!

Many thanks in advance!

Do q and submitted pass ok? It looks good here, what code do you use on the receiving page?

Thanks F*SH.

q gets passed OK, but $submitted and $database do not (unless you hit return and submit the form that way).

Changing onkeyup="loadXMLDoc('livesearch_results.php?q='+this.value)" to onkeyup="loadXMLDoc('livesearch_results.php?database=news&q='+this.value)" does, of course, work. But I want to do this by without hard-coding the value in order to let the user select which database to search.

Any ideas?

Much thanks!
