How do I use javascript to check if text appears on web page?

Hi guys. I’m trying to write a macro, but I’m lost. So say if I have an array of keywords to check for on a web page,

[CODE]

var keywords=new Array();

keywords[0]=”You are a cat”;
keywords[1]=”Are you a robot”;
keywords[2]=”Have a good summer”;

[/CODE]

How would I make a function that checks the currently opened web page for one of the specific keywords. And if that keyword is found, then execute some action – and if not, then execute some other action?

Thanks

@PadonakJul 08.2010 — for doing this you have to check does the target page element (where you are going to show these phrases) contain the given word or not. document.getElementById(target_element_id).innerHTML is to be checked

Success!
