I have seen many posts pertaining to highlighting text in a DIV using javascript, but none do quite what I'm looking for. What I need to do is highlight the text within a specific DIV, character by character as the user enters the search term. Conversely, as the user backspaces or deletes characters, I need to "de-highlight" the text of the same DIV. I imagine this has already been done somewhere by someone, but I have not yet found a post here or from Google that behaves exactly as I need. Any feedback is appreciated.
