I'm wondering if there is a way to search or find text within a page using js? I have searched through the web and it seems that it is possible, but everything I read is very convoluted and seems a bit complex for what I need. I've also searched this forum but didn't find what I need.My goal is to search through a page to check for the string "Submitter Draft In Progress". I want to then use the results in an IF statement.

The javascript below is looking for the word 'margaret thatcher' in the body and surrounding it with a link. It's lower-case but the script is ignoring the case so that won't matter. But, the problem is that because Margaret Thatcher is a proper noun, it will be capitalized in the body text yet replaced with lower-case text. How can I modify this script to look for the word while ignoring the case but use the same text it found as the replacement instead of using the text object?

I have a search field on the website, and when I type a word to search, it search good, but after preforming the search, the search term from search text field disappears and become the default 'Search' word.
How can I make search term stay in search field after preforming a search ? For example, when I type into the search field 'JavaScript' I want that term to stay in search field and after the search is done.
I'm pretty much lost at javascript, and unfortunately can use php to accomplish this, so here goeI have existing html page that includes a Week #. ie, 1, 2, 3, 5.... and so on.I'd like to be able to have a text, csv, or similar file that I can update on frequent basis that will list a Week # and than custom field of some type. (likely a date or unix time stamp).Is there a way to open a text file (or csv, etc) in javascript. Than be able to compare and get the correct data?Off the top of my head, I think its possible, and would involve something like the following?1. Create a csv file like below1, this is custom, my other custom2, some more, and this too3, and somthing, see spot run2. Next would be have a javascript open and read the file. You would assign a variable name to each 1st, 2nd and 3rd item of each line.Than the script would loop through each line until it found a a match of Variable
View 3 Replies View RelatedThis is a follow up to my older thread, about tables and finding images within them. So after getting some help from "Krupski" :thumbsup: I found myself stuck again. I'm trying to go at this rather from an other point of view, instead of getting the cell information I am now trying to get the alt text value. from within the image tag. but being a novice at this well ive hit a wall. :confused: My code so far. searches though the table finding the sad images then i want it to display the Alt-text or an other value table_id or similar. also is there a fast way of putting in Alt text like A1,2,3 B1,2,3 etc like an automated loop. (might work on this after the main problem is dealt with)

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to reduce a large number of pdf files to text format. Acrobat has a batch processing feature that will convert the files, and also allows a JavaScript to be executed as part of the conversion process.
I would like to add JavaScript code that allows me to replace and/or remove certain text/characters from the file.
Examples would be:
A) Remove all double, triple, multi-spaces and carriage returns
B) Change all uppercase characters to lowercase
C) Remove all punctuation
What i'm really aiming for is to be able to run the batch process in Adobe, then have a javascript filter out all that junk within a file with X amount of lines, not just one.
My work website, [URL] has an activity search on the top-right side of the page that searches congregation details. It mostly works fine, except that if you search "greenwood" instead of getting shown Greenwood Uniting Church, it tells you that there are no congregations within 15km of Greenwood. Yet if you search "Kingsley" (Next suburb over, less than 15km from Greenwood) it finds the Greenwood Uniting Church.
We worked out that the issue is that there is more than one Greenwood in Australia, so it needs to be clarified that the state of WA needs to be added to the search. The easiest way (I feel) is to check whether WA has been included in the text, and if not, to add it to the search text. This is the code I've got so far (written by a friend, who wasn't certain whether it would work or not):
PHP Code:
echo '<script type="text/javascript">';
// Check that there's state appended to the search
echo 'function checkState(){';
echo 'var searchField=document.getElementById("suburb-address");';
echo 'if (searchField.value.lastindexOf("WA")==0) { ';
echo 'searchField.value+=", WA";';
echo '}';
echo '}';
echo '</script>';
(It's included in a Wordpress Plugin, hence the echo tags)and the form itself:
PHP Code:
echo '<form method="post" action="http://'.$current_site->domain . $current_site->path.'home/activity-search" onSubmit="javascript:checkState();return true;">';
echo '<label>Suburb:</label><input type="text" name="address" id="suburb-address" title="Enter Suburb & State" />';
echo '<select name="categories[]" >';
echo '<option value ="">All Activities</option>';
$categories_list = split('[
]', get_setting('categories', $db));
foreach ($categories_list AS $cat){
$cat = trim($cat);
echo '<option>'.$cat.'</option>';
} echo '</select>';
echo '<label>Country:</label>';
echo '<select name="country" id="country">';
echo'<option>au</option>';
echo '</select>';
echo '<label>Radius:</label>';
echo '<select name="radius" id="radius">';
echo'<option>15</option>';
echo '</select>';
echo '<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Search" class="btn" />';
echo '</form>';
I'm wondering whether the if statement is valid, but I'm not knowledgeable in Javascript, so I don't know where to begin.
I'm looking to use JQuery to setup something like this:(Textbox input via search)(Multi-select select/option box here with results already populated)There are a large number of results already in the multi-select box and I'd like to narrow them down on the fly by text input into the "search" field. What would be the most efficient way to do this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have written a JS search function. I want it to work with IE, Firefox, Opera and Windows Safari. At this point it is working in all four of these browsers except for one feature: if the word I'm searching for is at the bottom of the textarea (not in the visible text) then the search function will not scroll the text up so that the find is visible.
I should quickly say that this does work in IE but not in the other three browsers. I'm at a loss as to how to get the textarea to scroll the found word into view in FF, Opera and Safari.

I have this search box form with 2 select boxes :
<form action="search.php" method="get">
<select name="RingType">
<option value="Nose">Nose</option>
<option value="Toe">Toe</option>
[Code]....
For example, when a visitor selects "Belly" RingType, I want "Belly Ring" to appear in the search box.
and
when the visitor selects "pearl" NecklaceType, I want "pearl necklace" to appear in the search box.
if the visitor first selects "Belly" RingType, and then selects "pearl" NecklaceType, I want "Belly Ring pearl necklace" to appear in the search box.
After making his selections in the search box, if he types something in the search box, it should add to what is already there in the search box. Or, if he first types something in the search box for example, "jewelry" and then selects "pearl" in the necklacetype select box, the search box should show : "jewelry pearl necklace"
I have a text area to enter a search, and I have already written the JavaScript part of it (unsure if this is where the problem lies). The text that will go into the text area is a URL. the search button is disabled if there are spaces in the query, or if the field is blank, else the button is enabled. The problem I'm having may or may not be to do with my script. The HTML is set to 'onKeyUp' and 'onBlur' to run the function. now, it works fine, unless the user uses the mouse to copy and paste a URL into the text area. the button remains disabled until the user focuses out of the text area then back in. if ctrl+v is used, then the function works.

i have added a code which extracts all the data from a web search page... but i need to split the titles ,urls and snippets.. which parser or package can be used to extract only titles,snippets and urls in a web search page.
I'd like the text in the search box to disappear when the box is clicked in. Easy, right? I've found several how-to pieces online, and gotten it to work with at least two different methods. However, I found a rather snotty discussion of form semantics that made me wonder: what's the right way to accomplish this, can I tighten up this code to be clean and tidy, and most importantly, can someone explain it to me so I can understand it? Forms tend to leave me confrazzled.

How do I link a cookie, presented in a div, to a text box on the same page - so it can be searched?
Now I have a search box that link to the Google Maps API. I also have the two most recently search items to show up as cookies below the map. My goal is to have the cookies show up as links so that when you click them, they show up in the text box to search.
I'm thinking of three ways to do this and wonder which is the best way to do it.
1) Can I just adjust the div tag to link to the text box?
2) Can I adjust the function relating to how the cookies are posted on the page?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am going to achieve something like this.
<div id="sidebar">
<div id="html1"><h2>Test 1</h2></div>
<div id="html2"><h2>a1 tes2</h2></div>
<div id="html3"><h2>a2 tes3</h2></div>
</div>
The thing is that first I need to detect if the div id is "sidebar" if its "sidebar" then it will pickup all the text inside h2 tag and will search for a1 or a2 in the text.If a1 is found then it will pickup the id html2 and make this div only visible.So in this case it will pickup id html2 and make it visible while other ids like html1 and html3 will be hidden.
