Ajax return string links not working
- by Andreas Lympouras
I have this ajax function:
function getSearchResults(e) {
var searchString = e.value;
/*var x = e.keyCode;
var searchString = String.fromCharCode(x);*/
if (searchString == "") {
document.getElementById("results").innerHTML = "";
return;
}
var xmlhttp;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else {// code for IE6, IE5
xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function () {
if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4 && xmlhttp.status == 200) {
document.getElementById("results").innerHTML = xmlhttp.responseText;
}
}
xmlhttp.open("GET", "<%=Page.ResolveUrl("~/template/searchHelper.aspx?searchString=")%>"+searchString, true);
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("If-Modified-Since", "Sat, 1 Jan 2000 00:00:00 GMT"); //solve any AJAX caching problem(not refreshing)
xmlhttp.send();
}
and here is when I call it:
<input class="text-input" value="SEARCH" id="searchbox" onkeyup="javascript:getSearchResults(this);" maxlength="50" runat="server" />
and all my links in the searchHelper.aspx file(which retruns them as a string) are like this:
<a class="item" href='../src/actors.aspx?id=77&name=dasdassss&type=a' > <span class="item">dasdassss</span></a>
When I click this link I want my website to go to ../src/actors.aspx?id=77&name=dasdassss&type=a but nothing happens.
When I hover over the link, it also shows me where the link is about to redirect!
any help?
