[Pro] Creating searchable pages

I am considering creating a page or series of pages that will allow a person to type in their state and a list of people that reside in that state will appear. The number is about 20 per state. Not sure how to go about doing this. I could do one long page and when a person clicks on a state button it moves the down the page.

But could freeway create some kind of way that a person could “type” in their state and the names would appear? Thanks.

You can certainly do this with Javascript.

Do you want all people to be visible and typing a state reduces the list to only people in that state ?

Or would typing the State reveal the list of people on in the State.

You could also use a state Picker for this ie selecting a State from the picker reveals the list of people in that State.

This would have to be hand coded to a certain extent.

Or you could have a long page with all the States listed with the people listed below and a Picker at the top of the page that would work like a link down the page to the State listing.

Which method appeals?

That is what I had in mind. Is that hand coded?

Yes - in as far as it uses the Protaculous2 action, some careful Div naming (IDs) and values in the picker.

The code part is cribbed from an example of Walter’s.

I will update the example page with some instructions and a downloadable file (what FW version?) later.

If you were going to use the State/Prov action for your Picker the instructions might be a bit more involved. Probably depends on how many States you are dealing with.
