Automatically convert keywords into links using jQuery
We can easily provide the links for specific keywords in a web page by using jQuery automatically as shown below.
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.4.4.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var span = $('div');
span.html(replaceURLWithHTMLLinks(span.html()));
function replaceURLWithHTMLLinks(text) {
var exp = /(microsoft)/ig;
return text.replace(exp, "<a href='https://www.microsoft.com/' target='_blank'>$1</a>");
}
</script>
Here we are providing the link https://www.microsoft.com/ for keyword Microsoft. So within the div element, each and every occurrence of Microsoft word will get replaced with the hyper link.
The complete code is as shown below.
<html>
<head>
