We no longer use or support this plugin. It has been replaced with our own internal and simpler implementation. This repository remains here as an archive.
highlightTextarea is a jQuery plugin which allows you to highlight words and sentences inside of <textarea> and <input> elements. Words are defined in a jQuery array and you can customize highlight color and case sensitivity. The highlighting updates itself when typing in the <textarea> and follows scroll and resizing (with jQuery-UI).
This version of the plugin has been modified for use with MyHomeworkSpace. Because of this, it may make assumptions about highlight text color, styling, and other things. If you want a general-purpose version, you can try the original version, but it is currently discontinued and unsupported by its author.
