Keyword Highlighting

rymus

I've been burning the midnight oil messing around with Dreamweaver MX 2004 and I've added a keyword search page to my website. It basically searches a table on a db for any word a user enters (your common as muck (sorry Muck) search function). Anyway, when given the results I want to, if possible be able to highlight the keyword on the page.

As each result of the search would be rather long, I've used a DW extension to crop the length of the db field to 250 characters with a link included to pull the full article out of the database. So searching loads up one page and if you want to view the full article that loads up another. I want to be able to highlight the keyword on the full article page. It's all a bit confusing, take a look at www.rymus.net/doamm.asp and search for the word of your choosing.

I've had a look around but all I've got are long-winded explanations and ungodly amounts of code that mean nothing to me. If there is a quick way to do it I will, otherwise I just won't bother.

Thanks
