Question

I have successfully used below script to get predefined text highlighted in the textarea.

How it is possible to get the predefined text to be changed on the fly? E.g. user write “green” in specific input box and then “green-words” are highlighted in textarea?

Answer 1

$("#input-id").bind('keypress',function () {
    var word = $(this).val();
    if (word) {
        $("textarea").highlightTextarea({
            words: [word]
        });
    }
});
