I have a page that loads some text into a div
What I'd link to do is (re)create each word into a link.

so loop thru each word in the div with innerHtml and wrapping it with
anchor tag


<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

Deprecated language code, from the last century

function linkWord(obj){
{

Why twice a { ?

sObj.link="http://groups.google.com/groups/search?q=";;

Do you use this in the function? I think not!

for(i in obj){

var x = document.body.innerHTML;

you should var-declare outside the loop

var linkStart = '<a href="'+ x +'">';

same

x is not an url, it is the innerHTML of body.

var linkEnd = '&btnG=Search&sitesearch=groups.google.com</a>';

so &btnG=Search&sitesearch=groups.google.com is the text to be clicked?

x = linkStart + x + linkEnd);
document.body.innerHTML = x;

And for every instance of the link you overwrite the whole body?


}

missing }

The function is not called.

</script>


I suppose you first learn the basics of Javascript.
