I want to create a table with hidden contents from the user but is available if they typed the specific items. So, basically, i just want to have a search bar as the only thing displayed.
Here is what I already have, and this is from w3schools:
<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"><style>
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
#myInput {
background-image: url('/css/searchicon.png');
background-position: 10px 10px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
width: 100%;
font-size: 16px;
padding: 12px 20px 12px 40px;
border: 1px solid #ddd;
margin-bottom: 12px;
}
#myTable {
border-collapse: collapse;
width: 100%;
border: 1px solid #ddd;
font-size: 18px;
}
#myTable th,
#myTable td {
text-align: left;
padding: 12px;
}
#myTable tr {
border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;
}
#myTable tr.header,
#myTable tr:hover {
background-color: #f1f1f1;
}</style></head><body><h2>My Customers</h2><input type="text" id="myInput" onkeyup="myFunction()" placeholder="Search for names.." title="Type in a name"><table id="myTable"><tr class="header"><th style="width:60%;">Name</th><th style="width:40%;">Country</th></tr><tr><td>Alfreds Futterkiste</td><td>Germany</td></tr><tr><td>Berglunds snabbkop</td><td>Sweden</td></tr><tr><td>Island Trading</td><td>UK</td></tr><tr><td>Koniglich Essen</td><td>Germany</td></tr><tr><td>Laughing Bacchus Winecellars</td><td>Canada</td></tr><tr><td>Magazzini Alimentari Riuniti</td><td>Italy</td></tr><tr><td>North/South</td><td>UK</td></tr><tr><td>Paris specialites</td><td>France</td></tr></table><script>
function myFunction() {
var input, filter, table, tr, td, i, txtValue;
input = document.getElementById("myInput");
filter = input.value.toUpperCase();
table = document.getElementById("myTable");
tr = table.getElementsByTagName("tr");
for (i = 0; i < tr.length; i++) {
td = tr[i].getElementsByTagName("td")[0];
if (td) {
txtValue = td.textContent || td.innerText;
if (txtValue.toUpperCase().indexOf(filter) > -1) {
tr[i].style.display = "";
} else {
tr[i].style.display = "none";
}
}
}
}</script></body></html>And lastly, how would I be able to add a clickable link on an item? I've seen website with those features and I tried to find the answer on my own but can't. I'm also a beginner and have zero background in coding, although I've learned quite fast these past few weeks. So I would appreciate if you use will use words I can understand.
If you want to know what I'm gonna do with this is i'm planning to build a free books blog where people can just search their favorite author or book title and it will appear on the search bar if its available. Thanks a lot!
