Highlight specific word/phrase/text?

Postby john.allen » Wed Oct 30, 2013 3:28 am

I know how to locate a specific word, phrase or text within a text field and I know how to change the color of a entire record or field. But I can't seem to find a way to highlight just the 'chosen' text within a text field. This could involve simply changing the font color or highlighting the chosen text. Can this be done? I would think it could be since it is similar to doing a search for a word on any web page. This is Servoy 6.1.6 in web client.

Use this with the WebClientUtils plugin on Servoy Forge http://bartaz.github.io/sandbox.js/jque ... light.html

Cool. Thanks Scott. Somehow imagined it was in Servoy itself and I was just missing it.
