HTML/Javascript search function with AJAX -


i've created webpage want users able search word/term stored in csv file, , if term found full line line entry returned , displayed user (ideally in table format, otherwise textarea do).

but need using ajax, , cant use php (unfortunately, otherwise wouldn't asking question).

so far have table form/input/button, , i've got code read file, i'm bit stuck bringing both together. know should easy thing do, i've spend lot of time going through tutorials , online questions havent been able find similar.

if knows of tutorials covers this, or can out code below appreciated.

  <table>              <tr><td>enter search term:      <input type="text" name="searchword" />      <input type="button" name="searchbutton" value="search" onclick="contentdisp();">      </td></tr>      <tr><td><textarea id="contentarea" rows="40" cols="60"></textarea></td></tr>     </table>  //currently using text area ideally displayed in table      <script type="text/javascript">     function contentdisp()         {             $.ajax({                 url : "file.csv",                 success : function (data) {                     $("#contentarea").html(data); // think needs go in here, grab search term above , display file contents using term, possibly 'contain' */                 }             });         }       </script> 

it possible strictly via javascript using strpos , indexof functions (indexof starting point, while other string delimiter(s) ).

it possible task php if feel comfortable it, if you're restricted domain-origin restriction, take @ jsonp, stands json padding - means you'll need wrap result in javascript function.

good luck.
