Is it possible to have a text box input searching for the entered text on another webpage in the same way Find In Page would do? I have a webpage that I want users to input an item, and that this will open the targeted webpage and bring you to (and highlight) the matched item(s) like find in page does. Is this possible or is the easiest way to just make users open the link to the target page and just complete the find in page search there?
I need to cut up paragraphs into their constituent sentences. I also want to calculate with abreviations and decimals containing dots in the middle of the sentences.
My simplistic definition: A sentence starts with a capital letter, finishes with (.?!) followed by a space and the capital letter of the next sentence, plus something that is NOT (.?!) I came up with the following negative look- ahead solution that works on decimals, but fails on abreviations.
[A-Z]((?![.?!]s+[A-Z][^.?!]).)+
The negative look-ahead should fail - and come back with true- till it arrives at the sentence ending position in my definition, but it doesn't..
Example: Just after daybreak in Nags Head on the Outer Banks, about 200 miles northeast of Jacksonville, winds 85.43 miles / hour whipped heavy rain across the resort town. Tall waves covered what had been the beach, and the surf pushed as high as the backs of some of the N.Y. dt. houses and hotels fronting the strand. Lights flickered in one hotel, but the power was still on.
I need to parse an an HTML page and pull what ever values are in these JavaScript tags. There will usually be multiple tags with different values between the single quotes. The value in the next example I need to pull into my array would be 'A728'. Here is an example code..
I'm trying find a text in all document with jQuery, for example: It searches the text with % in front, and then adds a tag "a" after the text. <body> %ilovejquery <div id="im>%ilovejquery</div> <p>%ilovejquery</p> </body>
In addition to seeking the text, I wanted to add a link around each. Example: <body> %<a href="#">ilovejquery</a> <div id="im">%<a href="#"> ilovejquery</a></div> <p>%<a href="#"> ilovejquery</a></p> </body> </body> I think with REGEX is avaliable and $.each method.
I'm trying to write/find a regular expression for finding ampersands but not HTML entites.I have this which finds entities but can't figure out how to ignore entities and return unmatched "&"
&[^s]*;
Test string: This is sample test containing a bunch of & and entities. Do you shop at: M&S? &x#1234;
I want to HTML encode the non-entity ampersands for insertion into XML e.g. "bunch of & and" --> "bunch of & and"
I am creating a little html editor, and I want to highlight a chunk of unformatted text, click a <buttonand put a <pand the beginning and a </pat the end. I assume there is a DOM element relating to this, can anybody help please ?
Im trying to find a static way to see if someones typing, entered text etc... Currently, if you are typing, or enter anything in the input box it will say you are typing, and if u delete it, the message dissapears.. is there a way where if you're not typing at all it can say "You entered text" or something? maybe a way to time when the last key was pressed?
I am attempting to manipulate a long text string with javascript. This text string may have one or more occurrences of a string which starts with a particular string and ends with another string. So, for example, text that starts with 'nam' and ends with 'sit' in this example:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit nam aliquam leo sit amet nibh tincidunt ultricies. Nullam nam feugiat velit sit amet dui scelerisque id ornare nulla ultricies.
I want to prepend another string before the nam and append another after the sitt, to give me:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit before nam aliquam leo sit after amet nibh tincidunt ultricies. Nullam before nam feugiat velit sit after amet dui scelerisque id ornare nulla ultricies.
I think the way to do this is via RegExp, but I'm insufficiently familiar with this to know how to write the expression.
People have complained that window.find() doesn't work, and everyone knows Gecko doesn't support IE's proprietary TextRange object, some have assumed you can't do this in Gecko.
Someone submitted this script my way, and I thought I'd post it here first, to see if people can come up with improvements.
This is a find text inside page script. Basically one would enter any text into a textbox, and the script searches for matches on the page, and highlights it if found. The script can be specified to search text in another frame or iframe.
Right now the script works in IE plus NS7. I was hoping it could be modified to work in NS6 as well.
I'm really not sure how to go about doing this, so any and all pointers are welcome. What I'd like to do is be able to find the position and width of a word that has been typed inside of a <textarea>, so that I might overlay some absolutely-positioned elements on top, and size them properly. I would really like to be able to do this in the most general case as possible (independent of fonts, font size, size of the textarea, etc.), but as stated any help is welcome.

I have been trying to figure out how to find all instances of a certain word or phrase within an element and wrap those words in <span> tags or other html. I.e. change all instances of 'the keywords' to <span>the keywords</span>So far I've found a lot of references to :contains() but that will change the element the text is inside of rather than just the text itself
I have multiple select boxes on 1 page, I need to get the text of the select boxes(which is the qty of an item) and the value of the selectboxes (the price of the item) and the item description which is in a span tag with a class descriptionColor,
and when someone chooses something from the first select box and sth from the second and so on,I need to add the item name, quantity and total price of each item to hidden fields.
so the hidden field would include: for name:qty of item 1 + item1 name,qty of item2 + item2 name ... for price:total price of all items.

I am trying to create a chrome extension that can pass text from a text box to a webpage text box. Basically my company has an intranet site where you can search for an employee. The url does not display the search terms so i cant just append to it. Since I cant really work on this outside of work (its an intranet site) i have tried replicating it from home using the let me google that for you (www.lmgtfy.com) site.
Now that is fine when the text is only one line long. Suppose it's longer? What I want to do is have Javascript give the variable contentString its text from a hosted text file in a similar manner to the way Javascript can insert more Javascript using a hosted .js file.
I illustrate what I need to do using some "dummy" javascript:
