Is it possible to somehow highlight text within a Browser like when you display the results of a search?

Thanks,

Hi,

You need to execute some JS to modify the DOM. For an example of this
which changes the page's background color see
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/viewvc.cgi/org.eclipse.swt.snippets/src/org/eclipse/swt/snippets/Snippet161.java?view=co
.. For your case you probably need to change the "background-color:"
attribute of the font surrounding the section that is to be highlighted.
