kind of ajax live search...

Hello,

is there a open source script or tutorial to build an Ajax search field like this one?

You can do that with scriptaculous (it is a library-framework based on the prototype library)

Check the demo : http://demo.script.aculo.us/ajax/autocompleter

"autocomplete" was search term I needed ;-)

what do you think about this:
http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/examples/autocomplete/

I want to build an application using php and javscript...

I prefer the prototype and the scriptacoulous libraries.

They have a lot feautures, they both used in the biggest ajax projects and they are cross browser compatible.

yes just tried it, but where is the information how to do that (the example above)?

Check the examples in the distribution files.

Of course I checked this, but how to connect to the database with client side code?

I got last year some demonstration about ajax with php an javascript this way looks familar to me...

You will use the Ajax.Request object in conjuction with a php page which will do the queries

of course.... just found the presentation material from last year:

http://www.i-marco.nl/demo/demonstratie4.php

he is using xajax

I don't know that library, but it looks nice :)

it looks like that the php community in greece is a little diff. :D lol.

you know ajax is also the name of the football club from amsterdam (I think that's th reason why many dutch geeks are very busy with ajax)

There is no php community in Greece. There are not so many people that 'talk' php here, but there are a lot that are busy with the football AJAX :)
