Hi,

Am trying to do, text highlighting..

If i enter a word in one textbox, the occurence of word in another textbox should be highlighted.
Even if there are multiple occurences.

I know this can be done with label/button and Johann's jquery-highlight plugin.

Since i need onSelection event to be captured, i can use only textbox..
Because only input elements supports onSelection .

Is there any way to do this?

Thanks,

Sowmiya.M

@Siva Kumar - Thanks for your reply. This is what am trying to do.


<textbox id="textTobeHighlighted">
<attribute name="onOK">
            String toHighlight = textTobeHighlighted.getValue();
            /*code to highlight all the occurences of "toHighlight" in textbox "text"*/
</attribute>
</textbox>

<textbox id="text" multiline="true" rows="10" ></textbox>
