Hi here is my total work to search a string in HTML and highlight it if it is found in document:
The problem is here
var SearchItems = text.split(/\r\n|\r|\n/);
var replaced = body.html();
for(var i=0;i<SearchItems.length;i++)
{
var tempRep= '<span class="highlight" style="background-color: yellow">';
tempRep = tempRep + SearchItems[i];
tempRep = tempRep + '</span>';
replaced = replaced.replace(SearchItems[i],tempRep); // It is trying to match along with html tags...
// As the <b> tags will not be there in search text, it is not matching...
}
$("body").html(replaced);
The HTML I'm using is as follows;
<div>
The clipboardData object is reserved for editing actions performed through the Edit menu, shortcut menus, and shortcut keys. It transfers information using the system clipboard, and retains it until data from the next editing operation replace s it. This form of data transfer is particularly suited to multiple pastes of the same data.
<br><br>
This object is available in script as of <b>Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.</b>
</div>
<div class='b'></div>
If I search for a page which is pure or without any html tags it will match. However, if I have any tags in HTML this will not work.. Because I am taking body html() text as the target text. It is exactly trying to match along with html tags..
In fiddle second paragraph will not match.
First of all, to ignore the HTML tags of the element to look within, use the .text() method.
Secondly, in your fiddle, it wasn't working because you weren't calling the SearchQueue function on load.
Try this amended fiddle

I have the following HTML:
<p>This contains an HTML space entity .</p>
I need to serialize this HTML to text along with HTML entities as their existing code (spaces added to prevent SO from rendering literal characters):
< p >This contains an HTML space entity & #160;.< / p >
When serializing the HTML the HTML entities are rendered instead of converted to their code/text form:
new XMLSerializer().serializeToString(element)
I've looked in to other methods of converting HTML code to text including innerHTML though I haven't managed to determine any direct means to outputting the HTML code that exists without it being modified by the browser.
I'm also open to replacing HTML entities with a createTreeWalker if need be though I'd prefer a more direct approach. No frameworks. Suggestions please?
Please see this SO answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/3700369/3218479.
You can use code like:
// Prepare element
var myEl = document.createElement("p");
myEl.innerText = "This contains an HTML space entity .";
// Convert to string
var textArea = document.createElement("textarea");
textArea.innerHTML = myEl.outerHTML;
var myElText = textArea.innerText;
delete textArea;
When a user create a message there is a multibox and this multibox is connected to a design panel which lets users change fonts, color, size etc.. When the message is submited the message will be displayed with html tags if the user have changed color, size etc on the font.
Note: I need the design panel, I know its possible to remove it but this is not the case :)
It's a Sharepoint standard, The only solution I have is to use javascript to strip these tags when it displayed. The user should only be able to insert links, images and add linebreaks.
Which means that all html tags should be stripped except <a></a>, <img> and <br> tags.
Its also important that the attributes inside the the <img> tag that wont be removed. It could be isplayed like this:
<img src="/image/Penguins.jpg" alt="Penguins.jpg" style="margin:5px;width:331px;">
How can I accomplish this with javascript?
I used to use this following codebehind C# code which worked perfectly but it would strip all html tags except <br> tag only.
public string Strip(string text)
{
return Regex.Replace(text, #"<(?!br[\x20/>])[^<>]+>", string.Empty);
}
Any kind of help is appreciated alot
Does this do what you want? http://jsfiddle.net/smerny/r7vhd/
$("body").find("*").not("a,img,br").each(function() {
$(this).replaceWith(this.innerHTML);
});
Basically select everything except a, img, br and replace them with their content.
Smerny's answer is working well except that the HTML structure is like:
var s = '<div><div>Link<span> Span</span><li></li></div></div>';
var $s = $(s);
$s.find("*").not("a,img,br").each(function() {
$(this).replaceWith(this.innerHTML);
});
console.log($s.html());
The live code is here: http://jsfiddle.net/btvuut55/1/
This happens when there are more than two wrapper outside (two divs in the example above).
Because jQuery reaches the most outside div first, and its innerHTML, which contains span has been retained.
This answer $('#container').find('*:not(br,a,img)').contents().unwrap() fails to deal with tags with empty content.
A working solution is simple: loop from the most inner element towards outside:
var $elements = $s.find("*").not("a,img,br");
for (var i = $elements.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
var e = $elements[i];
$(e).replaceWith(e.innerHTML);
}
The working copy is: http://jsfiddle.net/btvuut55/3/
with jQuery you can find all the elements you don't want - then use unwrap to strip the tags
$('#container').find('*:not(br,a,img)').contents().unwrap()

I think it would be better to extract to good tags. It is easy to match a few tags than to remove the rest of the element and all html possibilities. Try something like this, I tested it and it works fine:
// the following regex matches the good tags with attrinutes an inner content
var ptt = new RegExp("<(?:img|a|br){1}.*/?>(?:(?:.|\n)*</(?:img|a|br){1}>)?", "g");
var input = "<this string would contain the html input to clean>";
var result = "";
var match = ptt.exec(input);
while (match) {
result += match;
match = ptt.exec(input);
}
// result will contain the clean HTML with only the good tags
console.log(result);
I have a scenario where i have in my page a placeholder text that I will replace after the page is fully loaded.
My problem is that the text i need to replace is a plugin of the recaptcha image, for example:
I have the text loading... which will be replaced by:
<recaptcha:recaptchacontrol ID='recaptcha' runat='server' PublicKey='kfldsjfh4378qyf43h4eidfhew' PrivateKey='sdflkdsfy908s6dfdsfkj' Theme='clean' />
I couldn't find a way to do so, any help will be appreciated.
found the answer in chat:
as the <recaptcha:...> tags are parsed by some server side plugin, they were not rendered after writing them in client side JS. so replacing works fine, but plugin didn't...
you can do any string operations (like search and replace) on document.body.innerHtml:
document.body.innerHtml = document.body.innerHtml.replace(/Loading\.\.\./g,
"<recaptcha...>");
Wrap your "Loading..." text in a <span> with a unique id, such as
<span id="removeme">Loading...</span>
Then, if you don't want to do much DOM-fu with that complex, namespaced tag, you can do the following:
var removeme = document.getElementById('removeme');
removeme.innerHTML = "<recaptcha:recaptchacontrol ...";
var recaptchaThing = removeme.firstChild;
removeme.removeChild(recaptchaThing);
var parent = removeme.parentNode;
parent.insertBefore(recaptchaThing, removeme);
parent.removeChild(removeme);
This will replace the <span> with the <recaptcha:recaptchacontrol> element, after letting the browser figure out how to build the DOM for that bizarre element. If it turns out <recaptcha:recaptchacontrol> can't be placed inside of a <span> element, make it a <div style="display:inline"> instead.
i am using this function to insert text into NicEdit,
function insertAtCursor(editor, value){
var editor = nicEditors.findEditor(editor);
var range = editor.getRng();
var editorField = editor.selElm();
editorField.nodeValue = editorField.nodeValue.substring(0, range.startOffset) +
value +
editorField.nodeValue.substring(range.endOffset, editorField.nodeValue.length);}
This code works fine for simple text but when i pass HTML content into it, it does not render the HTML output in div instead it dumps the HTML code as it is into the Instance Div.
Example:
<div class="one">Some text here</div>
This must show in the Instance as "Some text here"
and remaining code hidden in source code.
Can any one give me a solution to fix this problem?
After working whole night and trying different solutions I had finally got it working! :)
In case any one wants to know solution for this, I had to add a Replace function
replace()
for the content and made it support HTML.
See my answer HERE. It's a plugin I created to insert html at the cursor position.
I have a function that reads the content of an element, replaces a word with a link and then rewrites the content back into the element. Obviously this means that all events that were previously set are lost.
Does anyone know of a function/method that could find and replace the content of an element without losing the events?
Edit: Without using a library
Here is my current code that does not destroy the events but turns <, for example, into <, so I can not append HTML. This is the closest I have got:
element.appendChild(document.createTextNode(content));
My original code worked but got rid of the events:
element.innerHTML += content;
By using jQuery you could do it with the text() method
var str = $('#element-id').text();
str = yourReplaceFunction(str);
$('#element-id').text(str);
Edit:
Another option would the innerHTML property. It's not very elegant but works nevertheless.
var strElem = document.getElementById('element-id');
var str = strElem.innerHTML;
str = yourReplaceFunction(str);
strElem.innerHTML = str;
Edit2:
Yet another option would be to wrap the text you want to replace inside of a separate tag, for example <span>.
<div id="container">
<a id="link-with-events">Link</a>
<span id="replaceable">The Text Gets Replaced</span>
<a id="more-links-with-events">Another Link</a>
</div>
Then you'd simply access and replace the contents of the span tag, leaving the surrounding elements untouched.
Assuming the tag contains just text (and not additional tags):
element.firstChild.nodeValue=content;
