[jQuery] jQuery LiveSearch
What's the best way to do a jQuery LiveSearch?
My main goal is to have very little latency between typing and request. I think the best way to do this is to trigger on keypress, not interval - but I'm not sure the code.
Basically, I think a Live Search should do the following:
* Trigger on key press
* Cancel old requests after a new key has been pressed (is there a way to do this?)
* Ignore old responses if we have a newer one (ie, even if the old one arrives after the new one)
* Respect the method the forms' html says (it seems that ajaxSubmit and ajaxForm don't do this - not sure of the fix)
I'm a jQuery newcomer, so please help me out. If someone's already made a good livesearch jQuery script - please let me know. Otherwise, any tips on how to do the above will be greatly appreciated!
