"Find" using Javascript?

[vbkris]

I want the "Find" procedure to be activated (as in Edit-->Find on this page (or) Ctrl+F)

can i do this using JS?
i want a link on clicking which the Find box must open.

to my knowledge, js cannot do this.

if you're only concerned about IE then you can use the TextRange object to search some text.

pass the varable and I guess an object too! Because I intend on passing the object variable that I set with the createObject function to a new window later in the effort.

Sorry about the confusion between the threads. I need to slow down.

This is doable, I found a snippet once at javascriptsource.com .. but since all my codes are gone at the moment I suges you search there, cause it should still linger around o)

My codes look like something a kid wrote
I have absolutely no idea what I am talking about
Somehow I still manage to make it work

thx 801119, I have found it here

On a second thought, is there a way to call the built-in find window like vbkris asked?

like i said, not with javascript. the script on

http://javascript.internet.com/messages/find-in-page.html?string=install

uses the TextRange object and works in IE only. hey, that sounds familiar too... ;-)
