I want to do a live search through the table rows, using jQuery, the \"live\" word is the key, because I want to type the keywords in the text input, on the same site and I\
I used the previous answers and combine them to create:
Css for highlight found texts:
em {
background-color: yellow
}
Js:
function removeHighlighting(highlightedElements) {
highlightedElements.each(function() {
var element = $(this);
element.replaceWith(element.html());
})
}
function addHighlighting(element, textToHighlight) {
var text = element.text();
var highlightedText = '' + textToHighlight + '';
var newText = text.replace(textToHighlight, highlightedText);
element.html(newText);
}
$("#search").keyup(function() {
var value = this.value.toLowerCase().trim();
removeHighlighting($("table tr em"));
$("table tr").each(function(index) {
if (!index) return;
$(this).find("td").each(function() {
var id = $(this).text().toLowerCase().trim();
var matchedIndex = id.indexOf(value);
if (matchedIndex === 0) {
addHighlighting($(this), value);
}
var not_found = (matchedIndex == -1);
$(this).closest('tr').toggle(!not_found);
return not_found;
});
});
});
