The CarQuery API that once populated my make / model / trim dropdowns has stopped responding. I now want those three dropdowns removed and replaced by plain text input fields so visitors can type the car make and model themselves. Here’s exactly what I need done: • Remove every reference to CarQuery from the page code. • Add two clean text inputs-–one for “Make” and one for “Model.” (Trim is no longer required.) • Apply only basic text validation to keep the fields free of symbols or numbers when they don’t belong. • Store each entry locally in the browser so it persists on refresh; no server calls or database writes are necessary. Please work directly in the existing HTML, CSS and JavaScript files, keeping the rest of the layout unchanged. Send back the updated source plus a short note explaining where you made edits so I can maintain it easily.

I can quickly refactor your car selection flow by replacing the broken CarQuery-powered dropdowns with reliable input fields while keeping the UX clean and intuitive. This will get your make / model / trim selection working again without depending on the failing external API. I’ve worked on similar issues where third-party automotive or product APIs stopped responding, and I replaced them with custom inputs, validation, and optional autocomplete using cached or local data. This keeps forms fast, predictable, and easier to maintain. My approach would be to identify all current CarQuery hooks, remove or isolate them, implement new inputs, wire them to your existing logic, and ensure everything is responsive and tested. I would love to chat more about your project! Regards

I’ll help you replace the CarQuery dropdowns with clean, user-friendly text inputs so visitors can easily type their car make and model. We’ve designed interfaces that focus on seamless user interaction and simple validation, ensuring data entry feels natural and intuitive. I bring strong off-platform experience working directly with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to integrate automated local storage for persistent data. I understand you want basic validation to exclude symbols and numbers where they don’t belong, all while keeping the layout intact and removing all CarQuery references. My key skills include front-end development, client-side storage, and light validation. We can chat more about the best way to tackle this, and I promise I don’t bite when talking code.

I'm a Senior Backend-Focused Full Stack Developer with 9+ years of experience, and I'm excited to help you replace the CarQuery dropdowns with plain text input fields. I've worked extensively with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP, which are the key technologies required for this project. My expertise in frontend development, particularly with JavaScript, will enable me to efficiently remove the CarQuery API references and add the new input fields with basic text validation. To ensure a smooth execution, I'll work directly in the existing HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files, keeping the rest of the layout unchanged. I'll store each entry locally in the browser using JavaScript, so no server calls or database writes are necessary. Before I begin, I have a couple of questions to clarify the requirements: What is the expected behavior when the user submits the form with the new input fields, and are there any specific validation rules you'd like me to implement beyond basic text validation? Let's discuss the project further and get started on the implementation. Would you be available for a quick chat to answer these questions and outline the next steps?

Hey — saw your post about swapping out the CarQuery dropdowns now that the API stopped responding. When this happens, the biggest pain is users getting stuck on make/model selection and your form becoming unusable overnight. Quick question before I suggest an approach: Do you still want to keep the existing dropdown behavior (with your own data source), or are you fine converting everything to free-text inputs with some validation? I’ve handled similar breakages before where third-party vehicle APIs died and we had to swap in custom inputs and logic without breaking the existing UX. If you can send the page link or a snippet of the current form code, I’ll take a quick look and tell you the cleanest way to update it.

Hey — saw your post about the CarQuery dropdowns breaking and needing to swap them for text inputs. When APIs die like that, the real pain is keeping the form usable without breaking your existing validation or submission logic. Quick question before I suggest an approach: Is your current form built in plain HTML/JS, or are you using a framework like React, Vue, or something inside WordPress? I’ve fixed similar “dead API” form flows before where we had to replace dynamic dropdowns with manual inputs without touching the rest of the backend. If you send the page link or the current form code, I’ll take a quick look and tell you the cleanest way to implement the new inputs.

I am a perfect fit for your project because you need the CarQuery dropdowns replaced with clean, simple text inputs for Make and Model, and I have extensive experience working with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to implement customized front-end solutions like this. I specialize in building modern, high-quality websites and custom development, including JavaScript-based UI changes, validation, and local storage integrations. I approach this by carefully removing all CarQuery code, replacing it with straightforward text inputs, applying appropriate validation, and implementing localStorage so entries persist on refresh — all while preserving your current page layout for seamless maintenance.

Project Overview The goal of this project is to eliminate the site's dependency on the failing CarQuery API by replacing dynamic dropdown menus with high-performance, validated text inputs. By removing external API calls, we will increase page load speed, improve reliability, and provide a more flexible user experience for vehicle entry. Technical Approach API Decoupling: I will perform a deep-clean of the source code to remove all legacy CarQuery scripts, initialization objects, and event listeners, ensuring no "ghost" calls slow down the browser. UI Modernization: The Make, Model, and Trim selects will be replaced with clean, semantic <input type="text"> fields. The "Trim" requirement will be retired to streamline the user flow. Real-Time Validation: I will implement a regex-based validation layer (targeting alphabetic characters and hyphens) to ensure data cleanliness without the need for restrictive dropdowns. Zero-Latency Persistence: Using the Web Storage API (localStorage), I will ensure that user entries persist across page refreshes and browser sessions. This provides a "logged-in" feel without the overhead of a database or server-side logic. Why This Solution? This transition moves your form from a "point-of-failure" model (dependent on a third party) to a "self-contained" model. The result is a faster, more maintainable codebase that works even if the external car database services are down

As an experienced and skilled HTML professional, I am confident I can proficiently execute the tasks you have outlined. Although my previous projects may have focused more on writing artigos and design gráfico, I've also garnered a significant amount of experience in HTML, which has proven valuable in my freelance work in site design. My ability to adapt and think creatively equip me to approach diverse problems - such as your current CarQuery dilemma - with ease. I understand the criticality of maintaining existing layouts when editing code and promise to deliver just that. With this project, my primary goal will be providing a solution that works for you and your site users while keeping everything streamlined and easily maintainable for the future. Based on your instructions, I will substitute the dropdowns for text inputs that will enable users to manually input their car make and model details. Lastly, working in Marketing na Internet has instilled a strong sense of user-centricity in my approach. Hence, I will ensure only rudimentary text validation is applied, so as not to inconvenience users unnecessarily while still maintaining data accuracy. My well-rounded skills combined with a dedicated work ethic make me an excellent fit for this job and I look forward to bringing your vision to life.
