RE: FN-FORUM: Search on CD

Is the product code made up from all five codes together (though three of
them look the same for all entries)? You could give each with the
description in an id with the code of the item it contains e.g. and when someone types a code in run
document.getElementById(codeEntered) to select it and use .innerHTML to get
the text content. E.g. (some slightly hacky code snippets that obviously
need dropping into the right locations in the page):

Deck mounted flight deck
safety net assembly (inner frame variant).

Search



function runSearch(){
codeEntered=document.getElementById("search").value;

document.getElementById("resultsDiv").innerHTML=document.getElementById(code
Entered).innerHTML;
}

Which would put the contents of the into resultsDiv.

It would be a bit more complicated to match against parts of the product
code but not impossible. This type of solution also means the search has to
be on the same page as the product list, and also relies on JavaScript and a
DOM enabled browser.
