I'm working on a chrome extension that extracts every word clicked. This code works great for any word outside of a link:
$(document).click(function(e) { var t = ''; var s = window.getSelection(); if (s.isCollapsed) { s.modify('move', 'forward', 'character'); s.modify('move', 'backward', 'word'); s.modify('extend', 'forward', 'word'); t = s.toString(); s.modify('move', 'forward', 'character'); } else { t = s.toString(); } console.log(t); });
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <a href="#">foo bar</a><br> words not in link
However I also need to get the words clicked inside a link. so for example with this html:
<a href="#">foo bar</a>
I need to get "foo" when the word foo is clicked. Is there a way do to that with jQuery?
I found a way to see which character is clicked within a link. This also takes you to the webpage you have set for it to go to
var link = prompt('what would you like as a link');
var href = prompt("where would you like the link to go")
var splitLink = link.split('');
for(var i = 0;i<splitLink.length;i++){
$('body').append('<a target="_blank">'+splitLink[i]+"</a>");
}
$('a').click(function(){
alert('you clicked the '+$(this).html());
window.open(href)
})
and if you wish you can also do this for multiple words if you wish to see which word is clicked
var link = prompt('what would you like as a link');
var href = prompt("where would you like the link to go")
var splitLink = link.split(' ');
for(var i = 0;i<splitLink.length;i++){
$('body').append('<a target="_blank">'+splitLink[i]+" </a>");
}
$('a').click(function(){
alert('you clicked the '+$(this).html());
window.open(href)
})
