Hello All

I am using the following script to "find text on a web page" and although it highlights the first instance of the text, the page defaults to the top of the page.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

When the text is highlighted, I would like the browser to go to that portion of the web page.

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Hi

You call the [tt].animate()[/tt] on an element with class ui-mobile-viewport, but no such element exists in the code you posted.
Better call it on both [tt]html[/tt] and [tt]body[/tt] :
Code: 
$[teal]([/teal][i][green]'html, body'[/green][/i][teal]).[/teal][COLOR=orange]animate[/color][teal]({[/teal]
    scrollTop[teal]:[/teal] $[teal]([/teal][i][green]'.match'[/green][/i][teal]).[/teal][COLOR=orange]eq[/color][teal]([/teal]i[teal]).[/teal][COLOR=orange]offset[/color][teal]().[/teal]top
[teal]},[/teal] [purple]300[/purple][teal]);[/teal]
( Sorry, can not provide explanation on that selector. :-( )

I noticed it does not work reliably, for now blaming the incomplete document. My test indicates that it should work.

Thank you.

I updated the post.

Does it work for you now?

I still can not get it to work correctly though.

Thank you.

Hi

I can not spot out any change in your code. Neither the change I suggested nor other. So it does not work and that was expectable.
