Thanks for another great screencast. I'm having issues with using .load() and wanted to know if the third parameter could (the selector), had to be a single space-less id/class. It appears from your example that this is not the case which is great news :).

Thanks for the clear and concise tutorials as always!

The links to both the quick time and flash files are broken.

Hey, good work!

I discovered this site yesterday and I'm already a big fan of your screencast!

But one question, doesn't even have that much to do with ajax: what do you use this sprintf-function for? The one you wrapped around your sql query? I haven't ever seen this, and I don't get what the function does :)

@Frank: Er, can it be that u r the developer of this app? It's great, you're right, I bought it because of another post of yours on another website, so you're kinda spreading this... Oh, my opinion on this: Your JavaScript Cheat Sheet isn't the best, honestly. But the other two are ;)

I love your work, it's just over my head. I have hacked some of your code before, but would like to understand it enough to create something rather than hack.

How about a beginners tutorial that shows some thing useful like a jQuery menu from scratch for VERY basic beginners. There was one on a list apart, but it lacked your great screen cast and explanations.

I can usually work from that once I understand the basics.

Keep up the good work.

I would have it trigger after the 3rd character to save the db from being hit too hard.

$(function() {
  $('#name').keyup(function() {
    if($('#name').value.length > 2) {
      $('#results ul').load('load-example.php #results ul li', { name : this.value });
    }
  });
});

@Cat Lover - just to clarify, if you wanted to bind to the form submit, the code would look like this:

$('form').submit(function () {
  // same load method, but we need to grab the input's value
  $('#results ul').load('load-example.php', { name : $('#name').val() });

  return false; // to cancel the browser from *really* submitting
});

Very good screencast, thank you.

Another approach to get around submiting page by clicking Search button could be to bind onsubmit to that button, that invokes the ajax function, the same as on keyup. Am I right?

And please say hello to your cat, that meowed in the background ;)
