Ajax-Proposal with Number of Results

[luftikus143]

Hi,

I have an AJAX script that gives suggestions fr the keyword search. So, if one types in "po" it will display a small select with
pollution
pops
population

Now, I would like to add to that the number of possible matches, such as
pollution 35
pops 12
population 47

But then, when the user selects one of these options, the selection box will display:
population 47

I guess with some javascript one can automatically delete the number... Any idea how to do this?

Thanks for any advice!

This is a JavaScript question. I will move the thread to the JS forum.

To delete the space and numbers at the end of the string, just call the replace function on the string:

val.replace(/[ 0-9]+$/,"")

The regular expression will detect spaces and numbers at the end of the string and replace them with the empty string.
