please move if it would help me more, thanks, i just need to create another handle so i can create this button as what you have said, but i think im near with the solution, can you please elaborate more of this code: if you dont mind thanks

$("#keyword").on("keypress", search_func_key);

$("#search_button").on("click", search_func_button);

@Dormilich

actually, the database is in php, but i think i post in the wrong section and i should post it in javascript. the search box is working fine, but i dont know how to make work the button.

thanks.
