How do i count the number of times a word appears on a webpage?

[Spooner]

like if i do CTRL-F it will highlight where they all appear, but how do i get a count?

The search window will say "1 of N", N being the number of times it appears :biggrin:

edit: LOL time warp

 

[Spooner]

it doesn't do that in firefox or IE

In chrome you get a count of the number of hits, on a search.

You should be using Chrome.

IE9 shows the match count to the right of the search box

You usually start at "1" and go on from there. I know it may be challenging for a large portion of the ATOT population, but just hang in there. Here's a hint... "2" comes next.

That only works if there are 10 or fewer instances of the word. 20 instances if my shoes are off.

What if there are more than that, tough guy?

Take your pants off. That should buy you some time to get to 21 after you stop laughing.

It's other people who laugh when I take my pants off, not me.


Wait...

See, completely the opposite with me. When I drop my pants other people applaud.

:hmm:

What were we talking about again?

I dunno, but I've sure got a tiny tingly feeling in my pants right now.
