    <p>Hi I'm trying to achieve the following: I'm creating a site (actually some sort of web app) that consists of panels (divs).</p> <p>On one of the panels I have a substantial amount of text placed in another div:</p> <pre><code> &lt;div class="panel"&gt; &lt;div id="substantialText"&gt; bla bla bla bla &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>I need to be able to search this text using an input field in a header and goto text location like so (typing text in input field will call the function "findText()"...I need to find out what to write in this function:</p> <pre><code> &lt;div class="panel"&gt; &lt;header&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;input type="text" id="searchField" onKeyUp="findText();" /&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/header&gt; &lt;div id="substantialText"&gt; bla bla bla bla &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>I have got the following but am stuck (comparing the innerhtml of the text to the value of the searchfield):</p> <pre><code> function findText() { var streng = document.getElementById(substantialText).innerHTML; var search = document.getElementById(searchField).value.toString().toLowerCase(); if(document.getElementById(felt).value.length == 0) { //don't judge me } else { var rgxp = new RegExp(search, "gi"); // Getting number of hits...works as intented alert(streng.match(rgxp).length); } } </code></pre> <p>I'm thinking about using the array of hits somehow paired with their location, and then being able to cycle through the hits using the index of the array. But I cannot see how I would achieve this.</p> <p>How can I get the 'substantialText' to scroll down to the hits (given an index). I have successfully been able to jump to an element containing ID or anchor but I cannot wrap my head around how to achieve the same with just a textstring.</p>

    2. COBasically I need to input some text in a input field -> find and jump to occurrences, maybe be able to cycle through them (but inside a div as opposed to the entire page)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
