Highlighting words

[whizkid]

Hi,

I want to highlight a word in an HTML document, just like google does when you hit the 'cached' button.
Could anybody help me?

Thanks,

Well, Google stores all cached sites on a local (to google) database and the serves them up when you click the "Cached" button. I would imagine it then uses a string replace (see str_replace) function to replace;

[search word]

with;

<b style="color:[text colour]; background-color:[bg colour]">[search word]</b>

Simple. This can be altered to do any type of highlighting, including underlining, bolding or any other HTML highlighting.

Hi,

Thanks. But my problem is actually, that if someone searches for br that the <br> also gets highlighted, and that wouldn't be too good. I guess I would have to do that with a regular expression...
