Highlight Text By Page User
Dec 11, 2010
I'm working on an educational website for reading strategies where I would like to have the possibilty for the user to highlight text and the possibilty to check their highlighted answers.User task: Mark all the cause and effect connectors (because, so, therefore etc) in the text.Now I want the user to take the mouse and go over the text and mark all these connectors in the text. After marking the entire text the user will get feedback for his correct and incorrect answers and a possibilty to correct his mistakes.If the user marks in the sentence "He got hurt, because he fell of his bike." the word 'because' I would like somewhere else on the page be written that he did this correctly. If he would mark the word 'hurt' I would like the user to get a feedback saying that this answer is incorrect.Is this possible with simple html or do I need something else. If I need something else what do I need and maybe there is already a ready to use script for this.

Alright, I'm using a Rooh.It WordPress plugin right now, but I don't like the way they do it, so I want to write my own code to do something similar.
I want the user to be able to select the text they want to highlight, and the background color of that text changes to whatever color they have selected.
How can I do this in JavaScript?

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.
On the contrary though:
Node.prototype.findTextMatches = [];
Node.prototype.findText = function(query, ignoreCase) {
this.findTextMatches.length = 0;
if (ignoreCase)
query = query.toLowerCase();
var tw = this.ownerDocument.createTreeWalker(this, NodeFilter.SHOW_TEXT, { acceptNode: function(node) {return NodeFilter['FILTER_' + (RegExp(query, (ignoreCase ? 'i' : '')).test(node.nodeValue) ? 'ACCEPT' : 'REJECT')] } }, true);
var offsets = [];
offsets[-1] = query.length * -1;
var totalMatches, trueOffsetDiff;
var range = this.ownerDocument.createRange();
while (tw.nextNode()) {
totalMatches = tw.currentNode.nodeValue.split(RegExp(query, (ignoreCase ? 'i' : ''))).length - 1;
for (var i = 0; i < totalMatches; i++) {
trueOffsetDiff = offsets[offsets.length - 1] + query.length;
offsets[offsets.length] = tw.currentNode.nodeValue.substr(trueOffsetDiff)[ignoreCase ? 'toLowerCase' : 'toString']().indexOf(query) + trueOffsetDiff;
range.selectNode(tw.currentNode);
range.setStart(tw.currentNode, offsets[offsets.length - 1]);
range.setEnd(tw.currentNode, range.startOffset + query.length);
this.findTextMatches[this.findTextMatches.length] = range.cloneRange();
}
offsets.length = 0;
}
return (tw.currentNode != this);
}
Node.prototype.highlightText = function() {
if (this.findTextMatches.length > 0) {
with (window.getSelection()) {
removeAllRanges();
addRange(this.findTextMatches.shift());
}
return true;
}
else
return false;
}
To search all text in the body, ignoring case, you'd go like:
document.body.findText('search query', true);
That loads up an array full of ranges selecting the text into document.body.findTextMatches.
To selectively highlight next occurences after executing findText:
document.body.highlightText();
// highlights first occurence
document.body.highlightText();
// removes previous selection, highlights second occurrence
// etc
Just calling that method over and over will successfully highlight instances. It returns true if it highlighted something, false otherwise,
Also, since I prototyped Node, it works not just in HTML documents, but can work in XML documents too.
Calling document.findText in an HTMLDocument may cause interesting results, as it searches through all the nodes, including <head>...

Is there a way to selectively highlight text in an OverLib popup? I'd
like to be able to make some text stand out from the rest of the text
that is displayed.
I tried using a one-cell table with background set to yellow, but that
caused the popup not to work at all (this might be a syntax problem -
I haven't been able to find any syntax examples for putting a table
inside an OverLib call)

I dont know how to make the function, i would like it so that when the user enters the text it searchs the text on the page and hilites behind the text yellow. So its a bit like a "find" function that hilites behind the word that it is asked to find.

What I want to do specifically is add a CSS class to strings that start with an @ symbol. I can't seem to find any examples online and I haven't had enough experience with jquery to figure this out on my own.
I want it to highlight either the first word only, or just the line that the @ symbol is found on.

I've tried to do it using the funciton below, it cycles through allright, but only highlights each field whilst it is in focus, then loses it when it moves to the next field. The result is that only the last text/textarea within the form is highlighted. My aim is to highlight all fields for subsequent spell checking.

Highlight a portion of the text and you can search it on the major search engines. The search box can also be used as a conventional search box too....

I'm working on a JSP application, and wish to define a text-field so
that it becomes marked (highligted) when it obtains focus.
I've tried giving the text-field a value when it obtains focus, but
the value is not marked. So if i wish to alter the value, I have to
manually delete the given 'onFocus' value before I set a new value.
<INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=test size=30 want this
to be highlighted!'">
I'm missing something to highlight the text-field text in the code
above.

I have spent the last week trying to figure out how to do the following: User types some text in a text box. The autocomplete queries a php script that returns JSON of matched values. I have got thedrop down list to show these values but I cannot for the life of me get the matched characters to turn bold. For example, if the user types in "rav" and my list contains:
RAVEN
RAVE
RAVEL
then I want it to appear as
RAVEN
RAVE
RAVEL
My current JS code is as follows (along with HTML):
$(function() {
$( "#query" ).autocomplete({
source: "get_json.php",

I have an input box of type text. It is a simple onclick text in the box and it becomes blank and you can enter stuff in.
<input type="text" name=number value=999 onFocus="this.value=" >
What I'm wondering is if it is possible that when clicked on a link, the text in the textbox becomes highlighted(background blue, text white)?

I am doing donation script. Here is my script so far
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--//
function chkDonation(){
var form = document.forms[0]; // FORM NAME OR PLACE IN FORMS COLLECTION //;
var amount = form['OtherAmount']; // TARGETTED INPUT NAME ( OtherAmount ) //;
amount.style.visibility = 'hidden';
for(var i=0, input=form.getElementsByTagName('input'); i<input.length; i++){
if(input[i].type.match(/radio/i) && input[i].name.match(/DonationAmount/i)){
if(input[i].value.match(/Other/i)){
input[i].onclick = function(){
amount.style.visibility = 'visible'; .....
I have pretty much completed my script but now what I want it to do is to add more forms/field when the "Other" radio button is selected. So when the Other button is checked, I want the script to display more fields/forms below. Only when the "other" button is selected. When "other" selected the script should display fields like "cheque", "cash", "Payment" etc.
