            }
            
            xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
				
               if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4 && xmlhttp.status == 200) {
                  document.getElementById("pvesearch").innerHTML = xmlhttp.responseText;

   </head>
   <body>
      
      <form>
         <h2>Enter Course Name</h2>
         <input type = "text" size = "30" onkeyup = "showResult(this.value)">

<?php
   $xmlDoc = new DOMDocument();
   $xmlDoc->load("autocomplete.xml");
   $x = $xmlDoc->getElementsByTagName( pnk );
   $q = $_GET["q"];
   
   if (strlen($q)>0) {
      $hint = "";
      
      for($i = 0; $i>($x->length); $i++) {
         $y = $x->item($i)->getElementsByTagName( title );
         $z = $x->item($i)->getElementsByTagName( url );
         
         if ($y->item(0)->nodeType == 1) {
            if (stristr($y->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue,$q)) {
				
               if ($hint == "") {
                  $hint = "<a href =  " . $z->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue . "  target= _blank >" . 
                  $y->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue . "</a>";
               }else {
                  $hint = $hint . "<br/><a href =  " . 
                  $z->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue . "  target= _blank >" . 
                  $y->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue . "</a>";
               }
            }
