HTML - Highlight Text From Textbox Search?
Hi all,
I don't exactly know what to call it, apart from the explanation to what I want to do. Basically, I have a HTML page. On their, I have a text box and a search button and some text in a table. What I want to do is, when typing something in the box, clicking search will then jump to a part of the page and 'highlight' what is typed into the box. Ideally, the page will run in either HTML but I can use ASP. Unfortunately I cannot use PHP. Could anyone please help or give me some advise on this? Similar TutorialsHi...not sure if this is the proper place to post this or not. I'm trying to do two things...first: I'm trying to set up a search box in frame 1 that will search, scroll to and highlight text in frame 2. Is this possible? I've been searching around for days looking for answers, and have so far come up short. I managed to create a search box in frame 1 that reloads frame 2, but that's not really what I'm after. ---------------------------- Now for the second thing I'm looking to do (along the same lines): I want to click a link in frame 1 that scrolls to a target in frame 2 and highlights it. The target is a word in the middle of a paragraph. Any help would be appreciated. I'm pretty green, so treat me like a beginner. Thanks so much! Ok, you know how you can drag the mouse over any amount of normal text and the text gets that blue border around it. Try doing the same with an input box and you can only highlight the text of one input box at a time. How can I highlight the text from multiple form input boxes at once? Hi everybody, I have a textbox and I want the text of that textbox display in a div. I want the text in the div to be updated as the user writes in the textbox. I hope this makes sense, I have searched everywhere and I have no idea on how to get it working, please help me out here. I also want this to work when the textbox is set to disabled. Thanks Hi there, I have a quick and simple terminology question. what is the name given to the "helper text" that I've seen on some websites alongside textboxes to help you fill them in? They are present at: https://twitter.com/signup if you click on any of the fields. Secondly, I see twitter does this using tables - which everyone seems to hate for layout. What is a better way of doing this? I assume that you fire some javascript when the textbox is active etc. But how do you get the textbox styled and floating on the right? Cheers, J Hello. Im beginner in html. I have icon and when i click on it, a link will open. I would allso like to do this: when mouse is on the icon - a textbox will appear with a text "NEW product!". The Textpox shoud not be any larger that the text itself and i like to know how to position the textbox. I hope it should be simple. Can someone please give me an example code?

The anchor part works ok, but when I click on the links, I only goto to the part of the page with all the anchors (all anchors are gathered low in the page) and I wanted to know if there is any way of highlighting the specific anchor that the user has clicked on. Thank you. I have an <a> tag which when you hover has the background turn grey, but it only highlights the section around the text but I would like it to be a bigger area around it. Like having text centered in a table cell and whe you hover the background turns grey. Any ideas? I have a Web Page with the following HTML code: <div id= "BlockA" > <div style="position:absolute;left:31.82px;top:79.70px" class="cls_005">Text 1</div> <div style="position:absolute;left:340.70px;top:79.70px" class="cls_005">Text 2</div> <div style="position:absolute;left:31.10px;top:92.90px"> <span class="cls_005">Text 3</span> <span class="cls_002">Text 4</span></div> <div style="position:absolute;left:105.02px;top:92.90px" class="cls_005">Text 5/div> </div> "BlockA" is usually displayed without highlighting. However, under certain circumstances (as controled by my Web App), I would like to highlight (e.g. with backgroundcolor = "yellow") "Block A" when the Web page is displayed. The highlight should not change the classes in the div and span within "BlockA". Can anyone suggest how can I do this? Thanks in advance. sg2000 Hello everyone.

I implemented a feature where if you click once anywhere in a row, the row becomes 'highlighted' (modify the background color). The problem, and the thing I want to eliminate, is that the specific character/word that you click on also becomes highlighted. How can you keep the system from highlighting words/characters that you click on? I hope this is an easy one. Thanks, Bill HTML Code: <html> <head> <script type='text/javascript'> var currentRow=-1; function SelectRow(newRow) { for (var i = 1; i < 4; i++) { var cell=document.getElementById('cell_'+newRow+','+i); cell.style.background='#AAF'; if (currentRow!= -1) { var cell=document.getElementById('cell_'+currentRow+','+i); cell.style.background='#FFF'; } } currentRow=newRow; } </script> </head> <body> <table border=1> <tr> <td onclick='SelectRow(1)' id='cell_1,1'>cell1_1</td> <td onclick='SelectRow(1)' id='cell_1,2'>cell1_2</td> <td onclick='SelectRow(1)' id='cell_1,3'>cell1_3</td> </tr> <tr> <td onclick='SelectRow(2)' id='cell_2,1'>cell2_1</td> <td onclick='SelectRow(2)' id='cell_2,2'>cell2_2</td> <td onclick='SelectRow(2)' id='cell_2,3'>cell2_3</td> </tr> Hi All, I was able to Highlight in yellow a sentence. But it doesn't work on the Option / Drop Down Menu sentence. Please HEEEELLLLP me find my mistake(s) BELOW: Code: <!DOCTYPE html> <head> <title> Yellow Hightlight </title> </head> <body bgcolor="#00CCFF"> <script type="text/javascript"> window.onload=function() { document.getElementById('NewsletterList').onchange=function() { window.location=('http://www.example.com/'+this.value+''); } } </script> <select id="NewsletterList"> <option value=""><P> <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"> PLEASE SELECT THE FOLLOWING: </FONT> CLICK This Box and Select!</P> </option> <!--this option takes you to your home page--> <option value="xxxxx">yyyy</option><!--this option takes you to . . . . . </body> </html> For example, this scenario: 1. My page contains the text "giraffes in corduroys" 2. somebody googles that text - either as a phrase or just the words 3. google points them to my page 4. the user clicks to go to my page... Is there any way to determine that it was the text "giraffes in corduroys" which brought them to my page? Would the crux be getting the previous URL in the browser history? |
