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

  function filterTable(Stxt, table) {
     dehighlight(document.getElementById(table));
     if (Stxt.value.length > 0)
       highlight(Stxt.value.toLowerCase(), document.getElementById(table));
  }
</script>

JavaScript Code (Don't Edit)
<script type="text/javascript">
/*

* into its original
* preText Stxt postText
*/
function dehighlight(container) {
    for (var i = 0; i < container.childNodes.length; i++) {
        var node = container.childNodes[i];
        if (node.attributes && node.attributes['class']
&& node.attributes['class'].value == 'highlighted') {
            node.parentNode.parentNode.replaceChild(
document.createTextNode(
node.parentNode.innerHTML.replace(/<[^>]+>/g, "")),
node.parentNode);
            // Stop here and process next parent
            return;
        } else if (node.nodeType != 3) {
            // Keep going onto other elements
            dehighlight(node);
        }
    }
}
/*
* Create a
* <span>preText <span class="highlighted">Stxt</span> postText</span>

*/
function highlight(Stxt, container) {
    for (var i = 0; i < container.childNodes.length; i++) {
        var node = container.childNodes[i];
        if (node.nodeType == 3) {
            // Text node
            var data = node.data;
            var data_low = data.toLowerCase();
            if (data_low.indexOf(Stxt) >= 0) {
                //Stxt found!
                var new_node = document.createElement('span');
                node.parentNode.replaceChild(new_node, node);
                var result;
                while ((result = data_low.indexOf(Stxt)) != -1) {
                    new_node.appendChild(document.createTextNode(
data.substr(0, result)));
                    new_node.appendChild(create_node(
document.createTextNode(data.substr(
result, Stxt.length))));
                    data = data.substr(result + Stxt.length);
                    data_low = data_low.substr(result + Stxt.length);
                }
                new_node.appendChild(document.createTextNode(data));
            }
        } else {
            // Keep going onto other elements
            highlight(Stxt, node);
        }
    }
}
function create_node(child) {
    var node = document.createElement('span');
    node.setAttribute('class', 'highlighted');
    node.attributes['class'].value = 'highlighted';
    node.appendChild(child);
    return node;
