Probably because designing such a script for a general case is a practical impossibility. It may be possible given suitable constraints on the text to be searched and the functionality to be provided. Some of the issues you need to consider: 1. How to deal with multiple matches 2. Should whole words be matched, any string, or is there a choice? 3. How to deal with strings split over multiple elements e.g. try matching "be quiet" in the following: <li>Please be <em>quiet</em> in the library 4. How will inserting extra elements in the markup affect the document? e.g. if using A elements and matching foo bar: <li><strong>foo bar fud</strong> becomes <li><strong><a ...>foo bar</a> fud</strong> There are many more, the above are just a few that come to mind quickly. > I > can't seem to find one that will work on the iOS.

If you provide some specific requirements that deal with the issues noted above, it may be possible. -- Rob -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "iPhoneWebDev" group.
