    copied!<p>I updated my earlier answer and finished the search and replace functionality based on the direction my earlier post outlined. I tested this in Chrome 14, IE8 and Firefox 3.6. </p> <p><strong>Find</strong>: will select the next instance of the searchterm.</p> <p><strong>Find/Replace</strong>: will replace the next occurrence of the search string and select the replacement</p> <p><strong>Replace All:</strong> will replace all occurences and select the piece of text that has been replaced last</p> <p>Hope this is now, what you were looking for. You should definitely be able to go from here and style this or make a proper class out of this...</p> <pre><code>&lt;script src="jquery.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;textarea id="txtArea" style="width: 300px; height:100px"&gt; This is a test.
