I'm trying to do an autocomplete form w/ jquery ...
I want to replace the matched characters with a bold field but I'm having a problem making this case-insensitive...
my code:
Code: Select all
var input = $("#auto_contact").val();
var newrow = thisrow[0].replace(input,"<strong>"+input+"</strong>");
return newrow;
the W3 says that the replace function would perform a case insensitive search if if put: /search value/i but it won't work with this variable.. Im guessing cuz its a quoted string???
