Check this out… By viewing the source you should be able to do what you want with some minor modifications. If you cannot figure it out let us know.
can u elaborate further please
Give the words a unique class.
<span class = 'something'>Word</span>use the effect I linked.
[php]$(".something").click(function () {
$(this).effect(“highlight”, {});
});[/php]
okay im getting somewhere now… im using an array of strings to make a word cloud ($filterwords)
and im trying to make it so when a word in the word cloud is selected it is highlighted throughout the document
how do i make the array $filterwords a unique class
pardon me im a novice in javascript html stuff, and im learning as i go
[php]foreach($filterwords as $word){
echo “$word”;
}[/php]
did something wrong
i did
[php]
foreach($filterwords as $uword)
{
echo “$uword”;
}
[/php]
[php]
$(".something").click(function ()
{
$(this).effect(“highlight”, {});
}
); [/php]
it outputted :
555544333333333222222222222222222222222222222222111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
and why am i echoing in the first forloop?
How am I suppose to know the contents of your array? I guessed.
I’ve given you everything you need to know, try to figure it out on your own, it’s better if you solve it then me feeding you code.
