AJAX Names

To use the AJAX Names lookup utility ( as seen on http://www.wolftech.ncsu.edu/lookup/ )

You first need to create a file named "names_redirect.php". This file forwards requests by the AJAXnames tools back to the WolfTech scripts that generate the user lists.

"names_redirect.php" should consist of only the following code:

<?php
header("Content-Type: text/xml");
// Refer back to the WolfTech Employees file, which will always be the most accurate
echo file_get_contents("http://www.wolftech.ncsu.edu/includes/AJAXnames/names_employees.php?{$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']}");
exit;
?>

Note: This file needs to be placed web accessible location within the same domain as the page that will be holding the HTML code you'll be adding below.

---

You need to add the following lines of code to your page:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.wolftech.ncsu.edu/includes/AJAXnames/AJAXnames.css" type="text/css"></link>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.wolftech.ncsu.edu/includes/AJAXnames/name_search.js"></script>

---

Then for the two dropdown boxes, insert the following code:

Unity ID Lookup

<input type="text" name="UnityID" id="UnityID" onkeyup="searchBox(event, this, 0, 'searchResults', 'U','', '!!!PATH TO names_redirect.php!!!');" value="" size="8" autocomplete="off" /><br />
<div id="searchResults" class="searchResults" style="position: absolute; display: none; width: 300px; border: 1px solid black; background-color: white;"></div>

Last Name, First Name Lookup

<input type="text" name="userLookup" id="userLookup" onkeyup="searchBox(event, this, 0, 'lookupResults','N','UnityID','!!!PATH TO names_redirect.php!!!');" value="" size="20" autocomplete="off" /><br />
<div id="lookupResults" class="searchResults" style="position: absolute; display: none; width: 300px; border: 1px solid black; background-color: white;"></div>

Note: Replace the text !!!PATH TO names_redirect.php!!! in the above code with the web path to the names_redirect.php file you created. If the file is in the same directory as the file you are editing the HTML in, use ./
