Trying to implement an autocomplete box ultimately. For now im following php academy’s lead. I just want to echo out “suggestions go here” underneath the input area when anything is entered. I have to files. home.php and country.php. home contains the input part and country.php just prints the dummy suggestion text. Right now when I type in the input area ..nothing happens. I am using jquery v 1.6.2 (jquery-1.6.2.min.js)

home.php is:

<html>
 <head>
  <script type ="text/javascript" src ="jquery.js"></script>
   <script type ="text/javascript">
    function getSuggestions(value){
     #.post("country.php", {countryPart:value}, function(data){
        $("#suggestions").html(data);
      });

    }
   </script>

 </head>

 <body>
    <div id = "content_holder">
       <input type = "text" name="country" value= "" id = "country" onkeyup="getSuggestions(this.value);" />
       <div id ="suggestions"></div>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

country.php is 

<?php

echo "Suggestions Go Here";


?>
