Jump to Match / Highlighting

[gerry]

Is it possible to change the vertical position of the jump-to-match highlighted string on the target page? Currently the function places the jump-to-match highlight at the top of the page, as one would normally expect. However, I would like to have the option to specify how far down the page the highlight will appear on certain target pages, in order to accommodate popup menus that will pop up above the highlighted text when the user mouses over it.

This would require changing the "jump to highlighting" Javascript provided, which you are free to do so. Note however, that we would be unable to support or debug any user modified scripts.

As a tip, take a look at the "jumpHL()" function in the highlight.js file.

You might want to have multiple versions of the highlight.js file if you want only certain pages to scroll further down to avoid a navigation menu, and other pages to scroll as it normally does.

Thank you, Ray...got it!
