Hi all,
I'm using the browser to make preview of html document in my application ...
the content is on a different server so I do only send the url to the
browser for showing the content.

I have seen that if I open the search dialog I can highlight the word I put
in the dialog ...
I was wondering ... is there anyway to actually use this feature ... I mean
.... I would like once the page has been loaded highlight a few words ...

any idea?

thanks
kar

You have a HTML you can highlight what ever you want using HTML itself...

why then ask the browser to highlight(assuming it is one time high lighting)

Hi vj,
having the html means that I have to read the page before I will display it
.... what I'm doing right now is just set the url to display in the browser
widget ...

tell me if I got it wrong ...

See the URL for java script highlighting...

http://www.nsftools.com/misc/SearchAndHighlight.htm

use BrowserFunction class to create the function in the site and invode them by

browser.execute method...

Hope this helps...

Hi Vijay,

ok I have followed you help and used the snipped 307 for help ...

so what I have done is:
1. browser.seturl ("www.mypage.com");
2. browser.execute ("myaction");

(in my action I do read the text from the browser via getText and apply the
text changes as the page as the example you sent) ...

I don't know if I have done something wrong but following the snipped the
function works ok if I do call it from the displayed page in the browser ...
but it doesn't start if I call it programmatically.

what am I doing wrong ???

1.Did you create Browser Function implementations for below methods

/*
 * This is the function that actually highlights a text string by
 * adding HTML tags before and after all occurrences of the search
 * term. You can pass your own tags if you'd like, or if the
 * highlightStartTag or highlightEndTag parameters are omitted or
 * are empty strings then the default <font> tags will be used.
 */
function doHighlight(bodyText, searchTerm, highlightStartTag, highlightEndTag) 
{
  // the highlightStartTag and highlightEndTag parameters are optional
  if ((!highlightStartTag) || (!highlightEndTag)) {
    highlightStartTag = "<font style='color:blue; background-color:yellow;'>";
    highlightEndTag = "</font>";
  }
  
  // find all occurences of the search term in the given text,
  // and add some "highlight" tags to them (we're not using a
  // regular expression search, because we want to filter out
  // matches that occur within HTML tags and script blocks, so
  // we have to do a little extra validation)
  var newText = "";
  var i = -1;
  var lcSearchTerm = searchTerm.toLowerCase();
  var lcBodyText = bodyText.toLowerCase();
    
  while (bodyText.length > 0) {
    i = lcBodyText.indexOf(lcSearchTerm, i+1);
    if (i < 0) {
      newText += bodyText;
      bodyText = "";
    } else {
      // skip anything inside an HTML tag
      if (bodyText.lastIndexOf(">", i) >= bodyText.lastIndexOf("<", i)) {
        // skip anything inside a <script> block
        if (lcBodyText.lastIndexOf("/script>", i) >= lcBodyText.lastIndexOf("<script", i)) {
          newText += bodyText.substring(0, i) + highlightStartTag + bodyText.substr(i, searchTerm.length) + highlightEndTag;
          bodyText = bodyText.substr(i + searchTerm.length);
          lcBodyText = bodyText.toLowerCase();
          i = -1;
        }
      }
    }
  }
  
  return newText;
}


/*
 * This is sort of a wrapper function to the doHighlight function.
 * It takes the searchText that you pass, optionally splits it into
 * separate words, and transforms the text on the current web page.
 * Only the "searchText" parameter is required; all other parameters
 * are optional and can be omitted.
 */
function highlightSearchTerms(searchText, treatAsPhrase, warnOnFailure, highlightStartTag, highlightEndTag)
{
  // if the treatAsPhrase parameter is true, then we should search for 
  // the entire phrase that was entered; otherwise, we will split the
  // search string so that each word is searched for and highlighted
  // individually
  if (treatAsPhrase) {
    searchArray = [searchText];
  } else {
    searchArray = searchText.split(" ");
  }
  
  if (!document.body || typeof(document.body.innerHTML) == "undefined") {
    if (warnOnFailure) {
      alert("Sorry, for some reason the text of this page is unavailable. Searching will not work.");
    }
    return false;
  }
  
  var bodyText = document.body.innerHTML;
  for (var i = 0; i < searchArray.length; i++) {
    bodyText = doHighlight(bodyText, searchArray[i], highlightStartTag, highlightEndTag);
  }
  
  document.body.innerHTML = bodyText;
  return true;
}


/*
 * This displays a dialog box that allows a user to enter their own
 * search terms to highlight on the page, and then passes the search
 * text or phrase to the highlightSearchTerms function. All parameters
 * are optional.
 */
function searchPrompt(defaultText, treatAsPhrase, textColor, bgColor)
{
  // This function prompts the user for any words that should
  // be highlighted on this web page
  if (!defaultText) {
    defaultText = "";
  }
  
  // we can optionally use our own highlight tag values
  if ((!textColor) || (!bgColor)) {
    highlightStartTag = "";
    highlightEndTag = "";
  } else {
    highlightStartTag = "<font style='color:" + textColor + "; background-color:" + bgColor + ";'>";
    highlightEndTag = "</font>";
  }
  
  if (treatAsPhrase) {
    promptText = "Please enter the phrase you'd like to search for:";
  } else {
    promptText = "Please enter the words you'd like to search for, separated by spaces:";
  }
  
  searchText = prompt(promptText, defaultText);

  if (!searchText)  {
    alert("No search terms were entered. Exiting function.");
    return false;
  }
  
  return highlightSearchTerms(searchText, treatAsPhrase, true, highlightStartTag, highlightEndTag);
}


/*
 * This function takes a referer/referrer string and parses it
 * to determine if it contains any search terms. If it does, the
 * search terms are passed to the highlightSearchTerms function
 * so they can be highlighted on the current page.
 */
function highlightGoogleSearchTerms(referrer)
{
  // This function has only been very lightly tested against
  // typical Google search URLs. If you wanted the Google search
  // terms to be automatically highlighted on a page, you could
  // call the function in the onload event of your <body> tag, 
  // like this:
  //   <body onload='highlightGoogleSearchTerms(document.referrer);'>
  
  //var referrer = document.referrer;
  if (!referrer) {
    return false;
  }
  
  var queryPrefix = "q=";
  var startPos = referrer.toLowerCase().indexOf(queryPrefix);
  if ((startPos < 0) || (startPos + queryPrefix.length == referrer.length)) {
    return false;
  }
  
  var endPos = referrer.indexOf("&", startPos);
  if (endPos < 0) {
    endPos = referrer.length;
  }
  
  var queryString = referrer.substring(startPos + queryPrefix.length, endPos);
  // fix the space characters
  queryString = queryString.replace(/%20/gi, " ");
  queryString = queryString.replace(/\+/gi, " ");
  // remove the quotes (if you're really creative, you could search for the
  // terms within the quotes as phrases, and everything else as single terms)
  queryString = queryString.replace(/%22/gi, "");
  queryString = queryString.replace(/\"/gi, "");
  
  return highlightSearchTerms(queryString, false);
}


/*
 * This function is just an easy way to test the highlightGoogleSearchTerms
 * function.
 */
function testHighlightGoogleSearchTerms()
{
  var referrerString = "http://www.google.com/search?q=javascript%20highlight&start=0";
  referrerString = prompt("Test the following referrer string:", referrerString);
  return highlightGoogleSearchTerms(referrerString);
}


This is the java script from the page..


2.Do this to just conferm

a. browser.seturl ("http://www.nsftools.com/misc/SearchAndHighlight.htm");
b. browser.execute ("highlightSearchTerms('highlight');");

call execute in
browser.addProgressListener (new ProgressAdapter () {
public void completed (ProgressEvent event) {

method
