Hey Guys!
I am trying to make a live search for my site with PHP and AJAX. I am using the following page for a sample:
http://www.w3schools.com/PHP/php_ajax_livesearch.asp
It turns out my sample does not even work. Here is a picture of what I mean:

Here are all my files in the folder (there are not other files):
index.html
Quote:
<html>
<head>
<script src="livesearch.js"></script>
<style type="text/css">
#livesearch
{
margin:0px;
width:194px;
}
#txt1
{
margin:0px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type="text" id="txt1" size="30"
onkeyup="showResult(this.value)">
<div id="livesearch"></div>
</form>
</body>
</html>

var xmlHttp
function showResult(str)

if (str.length==0)

document.getElementById("livesearch").

xmlHttp.send(null)

function stateChanged()

{
document.getElementById("livesearch").
innerHTML=xmlHttp.responseText;
document.getElementById("livesearch").

}
function GetXmlHttpObject()
{
var xmlHttp=null;
