Highlight Search Text

[bmcguire]

I'm trying to implement Calvin Ly's wonderful Highlight Search Text JavaScript file in my X6 RH project. I know the dislaimer says you must not use anything lower than X5, but will it work on X6? It's not working for me, so I wondered if I needed to spend more time troubleshooting what I'm doing wrong or if it just won't work in the new release.

Thanks!

It works in 6. Have you downloaded the demo from my site and proved that works in RH6?

Hi Brenda

Putting on my odd little persnickety snarky hat.

This won't work on "X6", because this product doesn't exist. It's simply known as "6".

As Peter said, it works on 6! Yay!

Okay, taking off my little persnickety snarky hat now... Rick

Peter,

Yes, thanks. I just did that today. So, I'm just doing something wrong with the implementation on mine. I'll work on it.

Thanks again!

Two things:

DON'T add any line breaks to the .js code (paste a copy of your code into Word if you must, just to reveal the paragraph marks).

Be absolutely sure that you're using the right directory path to the .js file.


Good luck,
Leon

Give it a try, that is always more rewarding, but post back if you get stuck. Tell us then what you have done in each topic.

Two things to watch. Relative path to the js file being correct. Add the js file to baggage so that it gets included in the output.

Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions to help me get the Search Highlight script going. I finally did get it to work. You're right, Peter, that's much more satisfying than having someone else figure it out for you. That's the first time I have 'tinkered' with the code or done anything in the code window in RH,so it was a learning experience.

Thanks again!
