Hi,
I don't want to use webuilder for any programming. What I want to use it for is opening web pages and highlighting text (single words) on that page. ie say a web page (html) has Blumentals, forum, software within the text on preview, is there any way to highlight that text within Webuilder and give each word highlighted colour? So that software would be red, forum green etc.
I am having a lot of problems working out what todo within the custom script file.
If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be very appreciated.
thanks

Odd, as that's what it's designed to do, and very good at it if you ask me!fisherground wrote:Hi,

WeBuilder itself can't do this, but you could use it to write a script to do this.fisherground wrote:What I want to use it for is opening web pages and highlighting text (single words) on that page. ie say a web page (html) has Blumentals, forum, software within the text on preview, is there any way to highlight that text within Webuilder and give each word highlighted colour?

Do you want this to work only on your site or any site you visit?
If your own site you could do it server side, or in your HTML code.
If any site, then you'll need some JavaScript code.

Re: Help - Highlighting normal text on a web page
Hi, thanks for the reply.
Haha, I am not a programmer, I am looking for some software that can do the job I want.
The way I read what you are saying, is open a web page, insert some javascript then in preview the highlighted text should show. I have done a quick search on javascript highlight and there are a few things I can play around with.
I can highlight different coloured text easily enough with text editors with custom syntax ie editplus but have to copy and paste from the web first, so just trying to cut down time, inserting javacript into webuilder is quick for the job I want to do.
