Search Table on Page 1

[newcoder]

I have a table on one page in my website - it lists employee names, extensions, locations. How can I create a search of this table so that someone can find an individual by first name, last name, extension, or location. Essentially a search by column and return the result - or highlight the line in the table with the result?

You either need to use a database and search that or possibly Javascript may be able to handle this client side.

Ctrl+F
is the fastest and easest way without any DB or scripting ;-)
or copy-paste:

Thanks for the Javascript link - that works pretty cool...I do need this to work client side - do you know of any script that will do a "multiple search"? This finds the first instance of the "Name" --- but in the case of multiple instances - I'm stuck.....say the page is sorted by first name order and someone types in Smith - it'll find the first Smith - but not any others....I need a next instance button ;-)

one way would be:

other:

but the "best" would be going through the database in the back and using server side to perform the serach...look through Matt's sample in the 1st link..,...
HTH
All the best!
