O, so i have a 'live search' ajax search, which currently runs an sql search (via ajax) on each key up.
What i would prefer is to:
run an sql search after a key has not been pressed for say 800 milliseconds
.
So i want to have a timer that is started on key up, if the timer reaches 800ms then the ajax is called, if a new keyup event occurs the timer is restarted
how would i do this?
