I know this is a silly question and I apologize for my limited knowledge in Javascript and programming in general.
I have a search that gets a value you enter and then uses it to search the db and returns the data in a table. So if I search banana it will display banana and it's values like fat, fiber etc. in a table, creating new rows for each search. Now, the problem I'm having is that if I search for let's say 3 items in the end I'll get 6 rows instead of 3, because the table will fill up with all the previous searches. This is the part of the code that handles this: It's part of the html file
<script>
function funkcija(){
var value = $('a').text();
$('#hidden1').show();
$('#jedinice_butt').click(function(){
var odabrano = $("#dropdown option:selected").text();
var uneseno = $("#input_jedinica").val();
$('#tablica').show();
if(odabrano === "g"){
alert(value);
$.getJSON("nutritional_value.php?value=" + encodeURI(value), function (data) {
var ttr = $("<tr />");
$.each(data, function(k, v){
$("<td />").text(k=='name' ? v : v * (parseFloat(uneseno, 10) / 100)).appendTo(ttr);
});
$("#tejbl").append(ttr);
});
}
}
</script>
part of the html:
<div id="search_result">
<a href="#"></a>
</div>
<div id="hidden1">
<form name="input" action="" method="get">
<input id="input_jedinica" type="text" name="namirnica">
<select id="dropdown">
<option value="kg">g</option>
<option value="dg">dg</option>
<option value="g">kg</option>
</select>
<button type="button" id="jedinice_butt">ok</button>
</form>
</div>
</div>
<div id="tablica">
<table id="tejbl">
<tr id="naslov">
<td><h3>NAME</h3></td>
<td><h3>FAT</h3></td>
<td><h3>FIBER</h3></td>
<td><h3>SUGARS</h3></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
So how do I do it without having it output all of the previous searches every time I search for one item?
php for the second search, nutritional_value.php:
<?php
include 'connect.php';
$value = $_GET['value'];
$query = mysql_query("SELECT NAME, FAT, FIBER, SUGARS FROM ccm WHERE NAME LIKE '$value%'");
while( $run = mysql_fetch_array($query)){
$results = array();
$results["name"]=$run['NAME'];
$results["fat"]=$run['FAT'];
$results["fiber"]=$run['FIBER'];
$results["sugars"]=$run['SUGARS'];
//Send it to the client in json format:
echo(json_encode($results));
}
?>
php file for the first search:
<?php
include 'connect.php';
$value = $_POST['value'];
echo '<ul>';
$query = mysql_query("SELECT NAME FROM ccm WHERE NAME LIKE '$value%'");
while( $run = mysql_fetch_array($query)){
$name = $run['NAME'];
echo '<li onClick="funkcija();">'.$name.'</li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
?>
jQuery for the first search:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#search_button').click(function(){
var value = $('#search_box').val();
if(value != ''){
$('#search_result').show();
$.post('search.php', {value:value}, function(data){
$('#search_result a').html(data);
});
}
else{
$('#search_result').hide();
}
});
});
