View 4 RepliesIs 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?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIt needs to allow the user to highlight some text within a paragraph. If the correct text (with an error) is selected it should provide feedback that the user has correctly selected this text.
So what I need to do is
1. Get the text selection
2. Compare this text selection to a predefined answer
3. Provide feedback to the user e.g. they are correct if text selection = predefined answer, and incorrect if text selection != predefined answer
I am wondering if it is at all possible to create a button that--when
clicked--grabs a paragraph of text that a user has highlighted. So you
go to this website, then highlight a section of text. Once you have
the text selected with you mouse, you then click the button. The
button executes a function which acquires the selected text in a
string. Is this hypothetical situation possible? Thank you for the
time it took to read this post.
I am a JS newbie and I'm wondering if there a way to figure out the sentence from which a word has been highlighted. Essentially, when a user selects a word or a phrase, I should output the sentence from which it's been selected. Is this possible with JS or with any server side languages?

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 ?
I have many divs with spans inside(just like it is below-no extra ids,classes for spans:
[...]
<div>
<span style="color:red;">a</span>
<span style="color:blue;">b</span>
<span style="color:white;">c</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color:red;">d</span>
<span style="color:blue;">a</span>
<span style="color:white;">a</span>
</div>

What I would like to achieve: user selects with mouse "ab", click button(input type=button) which remove style from selected span/spans. Similar behavior like it is in TinyMCE.
I want to use the values of text boxes on my HTML webpage to create a webpage URL (like below):
<script type="text/javascript">
My text boxes are as follows:
Now this all works and the result webpage URL prints to id='ID1', but the big question is how do I use this resulting URL in another Javascript section as the src="?
For example:
I have some elements (table, div, ...) which contains content. Now I want to search an certain text and do something if one element contains this text:
Example:
searching for 'schnitzel
'
Code 1
<div>
<p>some text</p>
</div>
[Code]......
now I tried the :contain filter, but it don`t work.
i am creating a search method tht searches the string entered in the text box in the given page having table. i want to highlight the found word ( matching part )...i can do that but with createTextRange its getting the first match word and than exits
is it possible to create certain part of the page and not the whole page(document.body.createTextrange()) for search like only one column of table and not the whole page contents
[URL]
I would like to utilize this script where I could pass the string of words to another page.
Meaning, search for the text, actually a word, then take the two words following the searched text and have them passed to the next page...I have tried to "alert" the words, but have no success.
I have tried to modify the code using the following, but the result just posts a "-1" in my alert popup.
As you can see I modified the code from the original thread in the third block of "for" code. also, I added an "alert" tag. One more thing, I added a function call for the form button.
The code is below:
<script type="text/javascript">
var count = 0;
var itemList = new Array();
var oldText = "";
[Code]....
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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just wanted to know if I have a text document that contains html code,how would I search through the code and retrieve all the data related to the search. i.e. by creating a search engine. The problem I face is if the format of the tag names change in the html txt document then it won't work. Therfore using DOM to retrieve the text would fail. Is there anything other than DOM that I can use to parse through the text document, so even if the code changed the search engine would still work.The aim is to search through a html "text document" and retrieve the data that the user wants.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHow would I access the source of a webpage? I would like to get the source,
then use a regexp to find text on a webpage. For example, retrieving a
counter, or some other text that dynamically changes. I'm implementing this
for firefox.
right now, i have a web page opening that contains that info, but i would
rather have a pop up alert() that shows that info.
For a personal project, I want to see if I can make a Greasemonkey userscript (or eventually a Firefox add-on) to list how far a certain ad on Craigslist is from where the user is (by the city listed beside the ad). My question is really just looking for ideas on how I can parse out the city's from the webpage text (with javascript or some other language?). Not even sure if this is possible.
The city's or ads aren't their own div elements or anything (nothing can ever be so simple) - but the city's listed are formatted by <font size="-1"></font>, and each ad is in it's own paragraph tag.. maybe I can use that somehow?
How can I do that? How do I use the selector to select from other web pages other than the current page?
I know that you can select all p elements on the current page by doing this: $("p").doSomething But what if I want to select from another web page?
I'm trying to write a macro, but I'm lost. So say if I have an array of keywords to check for on a web page,
var keywords=new Array();
keywords[0]="You are a cat";
keywords[1]="Are you a robot";
keywords[2]="Have a good summer";
How would I make a function that checks the currently opened web page for one of the specific keywords. And if that keyword is found, then execute some action - and if not, then execute some other action?

The red part of the code below doesn't work correctly, but I hope it shows what I want.
Code:
<html><body>
<div id="container" style="float:left;">
my<br> dynamic<br> contents
</div>
<script type=text/javascript>
var container = document.getElementById('container');
var containerHeight = container.clientHeight;
if (containerHeight >= 100) {
dispaly("big sideBanner");
} else if (containerHeight > 50 && containerHeight < 100) {
display("middle sideBanner");
} else {
display("small sideBanner");
}
</script></body></html>
I like to display "big sideBanner" on the webpage if containerHeight is 100 or containerHeight is more than 100 and "middle sideBanner" if containerHeight is more than 50 and containerHeight is less than 100 and "small Banner" if containerHeight is less than 50. How can I make it work?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI created a web page having textbox and an update button. My need is to display data in the text box when page is loaded.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a navbar numbered 1 thru 6 for a slider. You can see it here. [URL]. Is there a way to have the current navigation number share the rollover state? In other words, if I slide to #4 then the actual navbar #4 displays in a different color until I navigate away from it. I originally thought that this would be a simple CSS thing, but that idea went more towards javascript 'test'. Then I wondered if there might be a plug-in for this sort of thing.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI'm try to set up a webpge that will play a live flash video on the left-hand side(got that part working) and display one slide of a presentation(jpg) to the right of the video. I would like to be able to control when the slide image changes by having some js check a text file on my server. The text file could contain something as simple as "Slide1.jpg". I will manipulate the text file with some code I've already written. Is there some simple js code I can put in my page that will cause it to check the text file every 5 seconds, and if the content of the file has changed, to refresh the image on the page with the new image? I'm try to get away from the "clicking" sound that is caused by doing a simple refresh of an Iframe.
