Update textbox with found result!

[millw0rm]

I got a textbox with name = action, whn a key is press (eg. 'm') it
sends a query to database grabs data from server n send data back
keywords found, each keyword got a function called
newValue(found_keyword), when clicked, it replaces the text in the
textbox...
function newValue(mysql) => textbox => action = > value => from 'm' is
replaced with the word 'mysql'


Then the user adds '+' and tries for second keyword [ j ]

javascript splits the keyword which is '+' delimited (ie. mysql + j)
and [ j ] is sent to the script, script look for ne word start with the
word [ j ] n returns the results, with the function newValue(JScript)
same as above...

now the problem coms.. on clicking on [ JScript ] the value in the
textbox (ie. mysql + J) gets replaced with [JScript]...

What i want is, it shld remove the letter [ j ] and add 'JScript'
instead of that! Final result shld look like [mysql + JScript]

u try 'http://del.icio.us/ => post to del.icio.us' n see how the tags
field works! Then u wil understand wat i mean!

Codes:
function newValue(str) {
document.form1.action.value = str;
}

Try searching for 1 keyword [a] when found click on it, it will be
added to textbox then put '+' and look for other keyword [h] when found
click on the second keyword!

document.all is IE only so this won't work in other browsers at the
moment, use document.getElementById() to make sure this is cross browser.

As for it replacing the text, it should be clear that that's what you're
doing here

document.all.foo.innerHTML = http.responseText;

You want to append http.responseText to the end of innerHTML instead,
perhaps getting a substring of it in order to strip off the 'J' already
typed.

well i dont want to replace the text in "document.all.foo.innerHTML"
instead in want it to be replace in textbox called "action" thats wat
the function NewValue(str) does!

function newValue(str) {
document.form1.action.value = str;
}

Put the value of your text input into a variable, search and replace
what you want replaced with the new text and then set the value of your
input field.
