Replace a keyword in a web page with a hyperlink avoiding a and h tags
0
I have the following script that will replace keywords within a website with a hyperlink, but it's screwing up hyperlinks that already contain the keyword. How can I avoid replacing keywords that are within a and h tags?
<!-- include JQuery from Google CDN -->
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
// https://findandreplace.bubbleapps.io/version-test/1.1/obj/keywords
// set Async false for .each loop to work synchronously
$.ajaxSetup({ async: false });
txt = $('body').html();
//alert (txt);
$.ajax({
url: "https://findandreplace.bubbleapps.io/version-test/api/1.1/obj/keywords",
success: function(data){
//console.log(data);
$.each(data.response.results, function() {
keyword = this['keyword'];
url = this['url'];
var regex = new RegExp(keyword, "ig");
replaceURL = "<a href='" + url + "'>" + keyword + "</a>";
txt = txt.replace(regex, replaceURL);
}); //end loop through keywords
//alert("after keyword " + keyword + "----" + txt)
} //end success function
}); //end ajax call
$('body').html(txt);
//reset JS sync to true
$.ajaxSetup({async: true});
}); // end doc ready
</script>

Don't use regex on html

Also never ever useasync:falsefor ajax. It is a horrible practice and browser vendors have deprecated it. You should be seeing a warning about that in browser dev tools console

@charlietfl any suggestions on what I should do to correct this?

What you will really need to do is iterate through text nodes in the document and only target them. A search for terms like "javascript or jquery replace text" should get you started

@charlietfl I've searched that and other variations hundreds of times and haven't found the answer I'm looking for, hence why I posted my question.
