function gotTempleJSON(response)

Up: Location Services

The function gotTempleJSON handles the Javascript Object Notation (JSON) response from invocation of the script /Family/getTempleJSON.php to a search of the database for matching instances of class Temple requested by function templeChanged. The parameter response is a Javascript object. The function modifies the input field or displays a dialog based upon the response.

The response from the server is a JSON document such as:

{
    "parms" : {
        "name" : "toron"
    },
    "count" : "1",
    "cmd" : "SELECT * FROM tblTR WHERE (LEFT(`temple`, 5)='TORON') ORDER BY Temple LIMIT 40",
    "temples" : { 
        "TORON" :
       {
        "idtr":         128,
	"code":	        "TORON",
	"code2":	"",
	"temple":	"Toronto, ON, CA",
        "address":      "10060 Bramalea Rd, Brampton, ON L6R 1A1",
	"templestart":	19900825,
	"templeend":	99991231,
	"used":	        0,
	"tag1":	        0,
	"qstag":	0
        }
    }
}

The member response.parms.name of this object is the string that was entered by the user into an <input type="text"> that has templeChanged as its change event handler. Since the response has a single match the value of that input field is replaced by the content of the temple member of the first member of response.temples.

{
    "parms" : {
        "name" : "A",        "lang" : "en"
    },
    "count" : "8",
    "cmd" : "SELECT * FROM tblTR WHERE (LEFT(`temple`, 1)='A') ORDER BY Temple LIMIT 40",
    "temples" : {
    
    "ABA" :
       {
	"idtr":	        2,
	"code":	        "ABA",
	"code2":	"",
	"temple":	"Aba, Nigeria",
	"address":	"",
	"templestart":	20050807,
	"templeend":	0,
	"used":	        0,
	"tag1":	        0,
	"qstag":	0
       },
    "ACCRA" :
       {
	"idtr":	        3,
	"code":	        "ACCRA",
	"code2":	"",
	"temple":	"Accra, Ghana",
	"address":	"",
	"templestart":	20040111,
	"templeend":	0,
	"used":	0,
	"tag1":	0,
	"qstag":	0
       },
        ...
    }
}

This response has multiple matches so the method prompts the user to choose one.
