Question

I’m looking to make a page that would show about 20k lines and a textbox on top, and as I’m typing into textbox, it will restrict the list to ones containing the string I typed. I have no javascript background so I’m looking for a simple example that I can modify to get this working, any pointers?

I made a couple of tweaks to @Marc B’s answer but it’s still not very performant:

• Show/Hide items using a class
• Use match instead of indexOf

Here’s the code for it: http://jsfiddle.net/gTBFN/3/
