# Highlight all occurrences of text in a container


Here is the JQuery code to highlight all occurrences of a given text in a container:

```
$(".container:contains('Google')").html(function(_, html) {
  return html.replace(/(Google)/g, '<span style="background-color: yellow;">$1</span>');
});
```


The above block will change all occurences of the text ‘Methods’ within an element of class ‘container’ and make the background color of the text yellow by inserting a new span.
