Cheers, that was an excellent quick example for using the wikipedia mediawiki API. Much appreciated

Hey Jason, very nice video, thanks! Quick question: whenever I am looking up more than one wikipedia entry it seems that the old search gets stored and the new one just added on top of the old results. Do you know how to avoid that!? Cheers!

6:34 where did you copy that from? the url i mean, is that from the api sandbox?

why do you use class="btn-primary" on div in prepend? I tried it in myself, but it does not work. I found that it should work only on 'button', 'a' and 'input' elements. Why does it work in your code?

[ErikCohenDev]

was working on the same project, and wanted to get the main image from the wiki article to display as well did you figure out how to query the API for the image?

Great video, but maybe next time try hitting "ctrl + shift + i". There was a lot of tabbing to open up the dev console.

I am not sure if it is me, but it does sound like you require a better mic. Having brief explanations as to what you are doing is always useful- sadly I could hardly hear you. Helpful video though.

[KMemo]

[darvinkumar]

good tutorial, but your microphone was too quit.. you should explain more what you do

to the code: if you put all the ajax code outside of the jquery functions you wont need to copy/paste it for the kreypress event:
(e) {
if (e.keyCode === 13) {
getwiki(); // it has all the things with var searchTerm and the ajax

}
});

Hi I'am working on my own project similar to this but I need help creating the search result. Can you please give me your email so I can send you the files and you can help me with it?

[boredexill]

Thanks! It looks nice but you could use a submit function, couldn't you?

$("form").submit(function(){


return false;
});
