Finding text using javascript widget
I am creating a widget for an application that creates a search entry and searches for text from a div. The widget creates an item, and when the user starts the preview, the search is active and he can search for text.
After the widget is created and created input
, when I try to search, the Chrome console says that searchTxt() is not a function
.
The goal is to pass the value of the input to the function searchTxt
, find the text inside the canvas div and highlight it. But I can't even get it back in the console.log.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help.

OK, edited my answer and corrected your demo fiddle.
- Your onclick button is called
search()
, there was no search. - You have to define your function
window.funcname = function(){ ... }
because jsfiddle wraps this code on load.
So I switched your onclick to a searcTxt call and created the function correctly and it works. I also changed it to warning instead of console.log.
I don't know what the other javascript function is, but the code that makes sense now works.
