Highlight first matched word

[mistic100]

Try

$('textarea').highlightTextarea({ /* init object */ });
$('textarea').data('highlighter').regParam = 'im'; // or 'm' for case sensitive
$('textarea').highlightTextarea('highlight');

Thanks!

Like what ?
The development is almost stopped, I accept pull request but won't add features myself.

[elalemanyo]

something like data-test="something" on the span

[elalemanyo]

and is there a way to complete destroy complete the highlighttextarea instance?
Thanks!

[mistic100]

No you can't add attributes out of the bow, you will have to modify the plugin

---

It conforms to what almost every jQuery plugin do

$('textarea').highlightTextarea('destroy');

---

are we done with the original issue ? It's not good practice to abord many subjects in one thread

[elalemanyo]

ok, I already try this one. But I add something to make it disappear at all:

$('textarea').highlightTextarea('destroy');
$('textarea').removeAttr('style').removeClass('highlight');

Did you have some experience with scrollbars? Is possible to make your plugin work with some scroll plugin?

I am trying to get it work with this: https://github.com/malihu/malihu-custom-scrollbar-plugin

Thanks for all your help!

I don't understand what you are talking about... yes my plugin support the native scrollbar added to textarea when needed. I have no idea about incompatibilities, and as I said "The development is almost stopped"

Now PLEASE open a new issue if you have other question. The issue is "Highlight first matched word" and nothing more!
