So here's my problem.
I have an search box which has the JavaScript variable
search_input assigned to it.
I've then got my JSON Encoded Array named
devices as so:
Code:
var devices = [{"Device_ID":"43","Image":"Amazon-Kindle-Fire.png","Manufacturer":"Amazon","Model":"Kindle Fire","Type":"Tablet"},{"Device_ID":"69","Image":"Asus-Nexus-7.png","Manufacturer":"Asus","Model":"Nexus 7 ","Type":"Tablet"},{"Device_ID":"40","Image":"Asus-Transformer.png","Manufacturer":"Asus","Model":"Transformer","Type":"Tablet"},{"Device_ID":"41","Image":"Asus-Transformer-Prime.png","Manufacturer":"Asus","Model":"Transformer Prime","Type":"Tablet"}]
On my page, I have some more JavaScript which reads through the array and writes it to a page as so:
Code:
for(var i=0;i<devices.length;i++){
var device_id = devices[i].Device_ID;
var image = devices[i].Image;
var manufacturer = devices[i].Manufacturer;
var model = devices[i].Model;
var type = devices[i].Type;
document.write(+device_id+'-'+image+'-'+manufacturer+'-'+model+'-'+type+);
}
This so far works great, it shows everything in the array, just how I want it.
What I need to do now though, is when someone types something into the search_box, I need it to effectively filter the array by the concatenation of Manufacturer & Model by what they have searched for so the JavaScript above, only shows the array content of what they are searching.
The other issue is that it needs to be a 'LIKE' statement as you would have it in SQL. So if a user searched from Ama it would still return Amazon Kindle Fire, 7 would bring back Asus Nexus 7, N would bring back everything with N in it etc.
