UPDATE : Help Required to Populate search results - Array Search

I have the following array:
function showCPUs(){
//name brandID dualCore dualProcessor
var cpuItem=['Pentium 4 HT Northwood','2','N','N'];
var cpuItem=['Pentium D 820','2','Y','N'];
var cpuItem=['Pentium D 830','2','Y','N'];
var cpuItem=['Pentium D 840','2','Y','N'];
var cpuItem=['Xeon','2','N','Y'];
var cpuItem=['Xeon','2','N','Y'];
var cpuItem=['Xeon','2','N','Y'];
var cpuItem=['Xeon Dempsey','2','N','Y'];
var cpuItem=['Athlon 64 3000','1','N','N'];
var cpuItem=['Athlon 64 3200','1','N','N'];
var cpuItem=['Athlon 64 3500','1','N','N'];
var cpuItem=['Athlon 64 4000','1','N','N'];
var cpuItem=['Athlon 64 X2 4200','1','Y','N'];
var cpuItem=['Athlon 64 X2 4400','1','Y','N'];
var cpuItem=['Athlon 64 X2 4600','1','Y','N'];
var cpuItem=['Athlon 64 X2 4800','1','Y','N'];
var cpuItem=['Opteron 242','1','N','Y'];
var cpuItem=['Opteron 244','1','N','Y'];
var cpuItem=['Opteron 246','1','N','Y'];
var cpuItem=['Opteron 252','1','Y','Y'];
}
</script>

and the following hidden fields that are set by drop down menus
<input name="cpuBrandID" type="text" id="cpuBrandID">
<input name="dualCoreID" type="text" id="dualCoreID">
<input name="dualProcessorID" type="text" id="dualProcessorID">

How can I search against the hidden values to generate a list of items from
my array?

eg
cpuBrandID = 2
dualCoreID = Y
dualProcessorID = N

will populate the page with the following processors from the array:
Pentium D 820
Pentium D 830
Pentium D 840

Many Thanks

After a tweak, I now have the following array:

var cpuItem = new Array(
['Pentium 4 HT Northwood','2','N','N','10.00','p4.jpg'],

Your welcome.

BTW, in my code
<form action="" method="get" name="form1">
can be changed to
<form name="form1">
as the form is never submitted.

Of course, you'll have something else.

Yes it is.

Loop through cpuItem, then loop through each individual array.
But what do you want to acheive? All instances of the search term?
And what if the search term is "Pentium" or "penteum"(spelling)? I would
create a separate entry for the model ("Pentium", for instance) and
model designation ("4 HT Northwood")

http://www.mickweb.com/javascript/forms/databases/lookup.html

Written some time ago, today I would use a database for this type of search.

Not while remaining valid HTML. The "action" attribute is required
on form elements.

Sure. Run through the array one element at a time.
However, it might not be the smartest way to do it. If you
always want to search for the name, i.e., the first element
of the array, you might just use that as a property of an
object instead:

var cpuItem = {
'Pentium 4 HT Northwood' : ['2','N','N','10.00','p4.jpg'],
'Pentium D 820' : ['2','Y','N','10.00','pd.jpg'],
'Pentium D 830' : ['2','Y','N','20.00','pd.jpg'],
....
'Opteron 246' : ['1','N','Y','45.00','opteron.jpg'],
'Opteron 252' : ['1','Y','Y','120.00','opteron.jpg']
}

function findCpuData(name) {
return cpuItem[name];
}
