Search For Words, Replace With Links

Question

I have an array like this

var words = [
    {
        word: \'Something\',
        link: \'http://www.something.com\'
    },
    {
        word: \'Something         


        

Answer 1

If you want to wrap in 'a' tag un-comment code and comment call above. Try this:

var words = [
{
    word: 'Something',
    link: 'http://www.something.com'
},
{
    word: 'Something Else',
    link: 'http://www.something.com/else'
}];

var changeWordsWithLink = function (words) {
if(document.getElementById && document.getElementsByTagName) {
    var messages = document.getElementById('message');

    if(messages) {
        for(i = 0; i < messages.length; i++){
            for (j = 0; j < words.length; j++) {
                if(words[j].word == messages[i].innerHTML) {
                    messages[i].innerHTML = words[j].link;
                    //messages[i].innerHTML = wrapInATag(words[j].link, words[j].word);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
}

var wrapInATag = function(link, word) {
   return '' + word + '';
}
