I would like to search and highlight text using jQuery/Java Script.
sample HTML 1:
Good Morning<
http://jsfiddle.net/UPs3V/291/
var src_str = $("#test").text();
var term = "my text";
term = term.replace(/(\s+)/,"(<[^>]+>)*$1(<[^>]+>)*");
var pattern = new RegExp("("+term+")", "gi");
src_str = src_str.replace(pattern, "<mark>$1</mark>");
src_str = src_str.replace(/(<mark>[^<>]*)((<[^>]+>)+)([^<>]*<\/mark>)/,"$1</mark>$2<mark>$4");
$("#test").html(src_str);
try this one it may help you
You need to remove the b
tags from div1
and in order to apply bold property you can use css property font-weight:bold
.
HTML:-
<div id="div1" style="font-weight:bold">Good Morning</div>
<div id="div2">Good Evening</div>
<div id="div3">Good Morning</div>
or
<div id="div1"><b>Good Morning</b></div>
<div id="div2">Good Evening</div>
<div id="div3">Good Morning</div>
JS:-
$("body").highlight("Good Morning");
Edit: highlight
is a 3rd party jquery lib, more info here: http://johannburkard.de/blog/programming/javascript/highlight-javascript-text-higlighting-jquery-plugin.html
Try this in all above answer search with HTML tag.
This answer help full to you for perfect search text which I implemented in my project
<script type="text/javascript">
var term = "my text";
$('#test').html(function () {
return $(this).html().replace(new RegExp(term + "(?=[^>]*<)","ig"), "<mark>$&</mark>");
});
</script>
demo
script
jQuery.fn.highlight = function(pat) {
function innerHighlight(node, pat) {
var skip = 0;
if (node.nodeType == 3) {
var pos = node.data.toUpperCase().indexOf(pat);
if (pos >= 0) {
var spannode = document.createElement('span');
spannode.className = 'highlight';
var middlebit = node.splitText(pos);
var endbit = middlebit.splitText(pat.length);
var middleclone = middlebit.cloneNode(true);
spannode.appendChild(middleclone);
middlebit.parentNode.replaceChild(spannode, middlebit);
skip = 1;
}
}
else if (node.nodeType == 1 && node.childNodes && !/(script|style)/i.test(node.tagName)) {
for (var i = 0; i < node.childNodes.length; ++i) {
i += innerHighlight(node.childNodes[i], pat);
}
}
return skip;
}
return this.each(function() {
innerHighlight(this, pat.toUpperCase());
});
};
jQuery.fn.removeHighlight = function() {
function newNormalize(node) {
for (var i = 0, children = node.childNodes, nodeCount = children.length; i < nodeCount; i++) {
var child = children[i];
if (child.nodeType == 1) {
newNormalize(child);
continue;
}
if (child.nodeType != 3) { continue; }
var next = child.nextSibling;
if (next == null || next.nodeType != 3) { continue; }
var combined_text = child.nodeValue + next.nodeValue;
new_node = node.ownerDocument.createTextNode(combined_text);
node.insertBefore(new_node, child);
node.removeChild(child);
node.removeChild(next);
i--;
nodeCount--;
}
}
return this.find("span.highlight").each(function() {
var thisParent = this.parentNode;
thisParent.replaceChild(this.firstChild, this);
newNormalize(thisParent);
}).end();
};
