Internet Explorer: how to search in TextRange with findText method when search string contains line breaks?

19 aprilie 2012 12:46

Here I created an example demonstrating the problem:

<HTML>
<BODY>
Leonardo da Vinci was one of the great masters of the High 
Renaissance, especially <br><br>in painting, sculpture, architecture, 
engineering, and science.
</BODY>
</HTML>
<SCRIPT>
   var oRange = document.body.createTextRange();
      // record the current position in a bookmark
   var sBookMark = oRange.getBookmark();  

   var searchString = 'especially \r\n\r\nin painting'
   alert(oRange.findText(searchString, 0, 6)) //returns false
   alert(oRange.text.indexOf(searchString)) //returns '72', which means that string that I'm looking for is correct

</SCRIPT>

How should I modify search string and/or change function parameters for it to find what I want?

For you convenience, here is the link to function documentation:

Thanks.

alert(oRange.findText(searchString));
```
