  • I am able to select a word by simply double clicking it, then find and highlight all the occurrences of that word in the whole page but I don't know how to highlight in a particular div only. Actually the text in the div is loaded at runtime. Commented Oct 3, 2012 at 6:00

Simple thougts...

Give your div an id, so you can search in that id with jquery.

Get all the text of that div, and split it by an space { }.

now loop throug the text. if it compares to the selected one, make span around it, and set an background on that span...
