Values

all, attribute+attribName, tagOnly, innerOnly

  • The all value (default) searches the entire tag that is specified in the whereToSearch attribute.
  • The attribute+attribName value searches only within the value of the specified attribute, as shown in the following example:
    <searchPatterns whereToSearch="tag+FORM"> <searchPattern limitSearch="attribute+ACTION"> /MY_PATTERN/ </searchPattern></searchPatterns>

    This example indicates that only the value of the ACTION attribute of FORM tags should be searched. If that attribute is not defined, the tag is ignored.

  • The tagOnly value searches only the outer tag and ignores the innerHTML tag. This value is valid only if whereToSearch is a tag.
  • The innerOnly value searches only the innerHTML tag and ignores the outer tag. This value is valid only if whereToSearch is a tag.
