Think of it a little like putting a patch on a pair of jeans. I don't have to remake the jeans entirely when i put a patch on them. w3schools.com/js/js_input_examples.asp has examples for similar things on it. Play with those a bit | |
| Sep 21, 2016 at 18:24 | comment | added | Frederick John | This isn't a homework question it's a real life scenario... I am a very new programmer and I believe I have all of the pieces but am struggling to put them together. My question is one that needs both high and low level explanations. | |
| Sep 21, 2016 at 18:19 | comment | added | Frederick John | When the page loads the modal pops up. If I can successfully get the search to be dependent on the user input will it refresh the page? Because in doing so will cause another modal to pop up. I just realized this could be in an issue. | |
| Sep 21, 2016 at 18:16 | comment | added | Adam Wells | More or less. Read up on what object is returned when you make a request. You'll have to use the information in that object to print out the information. From your question, it appeared that you were already doing this to some extent - i took it to mean you were loading the page, and when it loaded displaying the results of the search. | |
| Sep 21, 2016 at 18:14 | comment | added | Frederick John | So, I can add a functionality whereby onclick will save the input in a function and then I can then collect the input by calling the function within a code tag? Am I understanding this correctly? | |
