Replace certain words

[Texas]

Okay so someone requested a plugin that reversed the censored words list but only for staff. So in other words, staff could see what word was censored instead of having to run to the censored word list to check. So I have this working...the only problem is it messes up the visual and bbc editors. Any idea what I should do to fix that?

function allSeeingEyes()
{
var str=document.getElementById("content").innerHTML;
var n=str.replace("boring","fun");
document.getElementById("content").innerHTML=n;
}
   
$(document).ready(function() { allSeeingEyes(); });

You are using innerHTML, which destroys the events.

Is there an alternate way of doing this?

[Peter]

I wouldn't bother with HTML replacement, do a text replacement only. Maybe use text range / tree walker.

[Texas]

It would be really helpful if you could show me how to do that cause I don't know how.

I'll link you to the docs, that way you can learn

developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/DOM/document.createTreeWalker
msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/windows/apps/hh831261.aspx

It's pretty simple once you read over them.

createTreeWalker isn't supported in < IE9, so you will need to use createTextRange as well.

I wrote an old function to do example what you are after and posted it like 5 years ago, it's somewhere, no idea where though lol.

Or depending on how good you are with selectors, you could write a selector to only get text nodes inside all elements.

I think I found a solution.

If I just have the code apply when I am viewing a thread will it still mess stuff up?

[Peter]

Depends on what part of the DOM you are effecting with innerHTML. innerHTML will re-create the elements and child elements, which destroys the events. So doing an innerHTML replace on the "#content" div, will cause you issues, as there are events binded to a few things on the thread page.

Give me like 5 mins and I'll post an object for everyone in here...
