document.getElementById('suggestion').innerHTML = ""; // Clear the div
for (i=0;i<dictionary.length;i++) // Loop through each value in the dictionary array
{
var match = document.myForm.nameget.value; // Pass to variable for regex evaluation
match = "^" + match; // Must be at the beginning
if ((dictionary[i].search(match) != -1) && myForm.nameget.value != '') // If a match is found...
{
document.getElementById('suggestion').innerHTML += dictionary[i] + "<br>"; // ... display it in the "suggestion" div
}
}
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
My problem is in the suggest() function. "(dictionary[i].search(match)" to be specific. How can I make this search case-insensitive? It seems that I can't use "search(/match/i)" because match is a variable.
I've tried applying various examples on the web to no avail. Any suggestions?
