Question

I am trying to have an Ajax form submit when the value within a textbox changes, which i have done successfully using Keyup:

$('#Search').keyup(function () {
  $(this).parents('form').submit();
  return false;
});

The problem is, the texbox loses focus so the user cannot keep typing. How would I edit this so the #Search textbox remains focused, so that the user can carry on typing, but still have the Ajax function call on each keyup?

Answer 1

refocus on the search textbox:

$('#Search').keyup(function () { $(this).parents('form').submit(); $(this).focus(); return false; });

or alternatively (what i would prefer), make the ajax call without submitting the form:

$('#Search').keyup(function () { differentAjaxFunction(); });
