Hey guys- I originally had this question in the HTML forum - but I've been advised by another user that Javascript may solve my problems.

Basically I have a table of information, separated alphabetically with tabs "A" "B" "C"... etc

And image has been uploaded demonstrating this.

What I am looking for is the ability to search for content amongst the tabs - so when a User types in a search request, it goes through the tabbed information, opens the tab and finds it. - Or something with the same principle.

Any ideas on doing this?

Thanks!!

Is all of the information loaded on one page, and the tabs work by hiding and revealing each "tabbed page" dynamically, or is each tab a separate HTML page?

All the information is on one page - and dynamically activated.

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...tabcontent.htm

is actually the tutorial that I set this up with

Here is a script that someone worked out for searching for text on a page: http://www.javascripter.net/faq/searchin.htm. It is pretty simple and doesn't quite meet your needs, but it may be a step in the right direction. Your needs are somewhat more complicated, because you will need a way to activate the tab that contains the text-node that is matched. This means that the DOM will have to be walked up until the tab is identified, then this data will need to be passed to a function that activates it.

I might be able to tell you more if I can see the HTML and scripts that you have in place already.

Would you need to see the data within the tabbed table? The only reason I ask is it is bank information for my intrasite at work - I could remove the bank data, and show you what I have so far... Would that work?

Sure, that should be fine, or at least a start.

Ok - I got rid of the sensitive info - and put a <!-- comment --> where it initially was.

Thanks in advance for your help - I really appreciate it.

Would it be easier/possible to do it this way and have the search feature?

Hello, I will take a look at this sometime today... have some work to do...
