Replace every word with tag
- by Sherif elKhatib
JAVASCRIPT or JAVA solution needed
The solution I am looking for could use java or javascript. I have the html code in a string so I could manipulate it before using it with java or afterwards with javascript.
problem
Anyway, I have to wrap each word with a tag. For example:
<html> ... >
Hello every one, cheers
< ... </html>
should be changed to
<html> ... >
<word>Hello</word> <word>every</word> <word>one</word>, <word>cheers</word>
< ... </html>
JAVASCRIPT hint
I am using the following code to highlight a word; however, this will highlight the whole text belonging to a certain tag. When each word is a tag, this will work to some extent. If there is a substitute that will allow me to highlight a word at a certain position, it would also be a solution.
function highlightElementAtPoint(xOrdinate, yOrdinate) {
var theElement = document.elementFromPoint(xOrdinate, yOrdinate);
selectedElement = theElement;
theElement.style.backgroundColor = "yellow";
var theName = theElement.nodeName;
var theArray = document.getElementsByTagName(theName);
var theIndex = -1;
for (i = 0; i < theArray.length; i++) {
if (theArray[i] == theElement) {
theIndex = i;
}
}
window.androidselection.selected(theElement.innerHTML);
return theName + " " + theIndex;
}
