I'm sure you've been to some web sites where certain keywords are links. Thats what this mod does.
The keywords and urls are stored in an xml file that you will have to create and edit.
Here's a sample
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<keywords>
<!-- Start Keywords -->
<key>
<phrase>xml</phrase>
<url>http://some/site.xml</url>
</key>
<key>
<phrase>html</phrase>
<url>http://some/site.html</url>
</key>
<b><font color="red"><key>
<phrase>css</phrase>
<url>http://some/site.css</url>
</key></font id="red"></b>
</keywords>
Just copy and paste that into your word editor and save it with a .xml extension.
The part in <b><font color="red">red</font id="red"></b> is what you need to worry about when you add a keyword.
Just add another <key> tag within the <keywords> tag.
The tag structure is very important and must be maintained.
Make sure the tags are in that order and they all have the closing tags.
Now the easy part.
Open "inc_function_common.asp"
<ul>
<li>Find the FormatStr function.
find these linesfunction FormatStr(fString)
on Error resume next
ADD this line right under thatfString = ChkKeys(fString)
</li><li>
Add this code before this line "%>" near the bottom of the file.

The part in <b><font color="green">green</font id="green"></b> has to be replaced with the <b><u>absolute path</u></b> to your xml file. <b><u>The whole address</u></b>.
The part in <b><font color="red">red</font id="red"></b> adds some style to the links so they will stand out from other links. If your not interested in that just omit the parts in <b><font color="red">red</font id="red"></b>.</li>
<li>Add this line to the files you want to keywordsDim ShowKeyWords : ShowKeyWords = True
Somewhere after <font color="red"><%</font id="red">. In "topic.asp" I added it after these lines%>
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="config.asp"-->
<%
<font color="red">Dim ShowKeyWords : ShowKeyWords = True</font id="red">
</li>
<li>
You only need this part if want to add style to your links.
Open "inc_header.asp" and find this line".spnSearchHighlight {background-color:" & strSearchHiLiteColor & "}" & vbNewLine & _Add this line right after that"#keywords{color:yellow;font-weight:bold;background-color:yellow;)" & vbNewLine & _</li></ul>Thats it.
Three problems I encountered.
1. An ampersand in the url caused a xml parsing error, so you need to replace it with "& amp;" (without the space).
2. <s>The css class won't trump the existing class, i.e. color and text-decoration.</s> Updated with Bobbys id fix.
3. If the keyword is in a hyperlink it will mess up the link.
<ul>
<li>
<u>Updated: 5/29</u> - Links now open in new windows
css bug fixed
xml bug fixed
<s>add a file exclude list to the function</s> Reworked excludes update 6/9
</li>
<li>
<u>Update 5/30</u> - "word within word" <s>and "link within link"</s> bug fixed (theres still problems with links)
</li>
<li>
<u>Update 6/9</u> - Reworked excludes so hopefully it works for everyone.
Moved chkKeys() call to the top of formatStr() to check for carrage returns, line feeds before they are replaced.
Added more checks to catch more words.
</li>
</ul>

I've commented out the lines as you said. I've deleted all cookies and cache, run setup.... variables are still stuck.
