    Implementing Jump to match and highlight

    I'm trying to implement the Jump to match and highlight feature. My page links to the highlight.js file, I have my body tag set up as

    <body onload="highlight();">

    and I have the feature checked in the Results Layout page of the Zoom configuration. I can see that it's trying to work because when I select a search result it goes to the page and scrolls down to the found word, but the word is not highlighted. I didn't see any style for this.

    What did I miss?

    Thanks for your help.

      The details are in this FAQ
      http://www.wrensoft.com/zoom/support/highlighting.html

      As noted in the FAQ you need this style.
      <style type="text/css">.highlight { background: #FFFF40; }</style>

      If this doesn't work, can you post the URL to the search function and the search word you are using.

          Got it! Sorry for missing that. It works now.

          One issue, though, is that the scrolling scrolls exactly to the line containing the found word. I would prefer that it scroll to the context of the word, i.e., show a couple of lines before the found word. Is this possible?

          Thanks
          Steve

              Not without some new Javascript code being written in the hightlight.js script.
