i've a search form wherein the database query has been coded in php and the html file calls this php file via ajax to display the results in the search form. the problem is, i would like the result to be displayed in the same form as search.html; yet while the ajax works, it goes to search.php to display the results.
search.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<script src="scripts/search_ajax.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
<form id="submitForm" method="post">
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="field">
<input name="search" id="search" />
</div><br />
<input id="button1" type="submit" value="Submit" class="submit" onclick="run_query();" /><br />
</div>
<div id="searchContainer">
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
if i add action="search.php" to the form tag, it displays the result but on search.php. i'd like it to display on the same form [i.e search.html, and not search.php] if i just add the javascript function [as done above], it displays nothing on search.html
