Note Submitter: volker@multiartstudio.de ---- hi, here is a little hack i figured out to highlight some text matches a searchstring in html based documents, without destroying html-tags.... (this was necessary to scan database-entry written in html by keywords, and display them in another style....a mini google :)) here it is: $C=preg_replace("/(\>(((?>[^><]+)|(?R))*)\<)/ie", "preg_replace('/(?>$search+)/i','<span class=\"searchnfound\">$search</span>', '\\0')", $C); !!!put it all in one-line!!!! where $C is the content you want to scan and highlight the string given by $search. searchnfound is a simple style-class for displaying the keyword in another style. but be careful, you must scan the string $search for special characters before .. otherwise searching for e.g. '*' would give nasty results :)! you can try it at : www.erdtrabant.de bye, volker
