My problem is that I want to search for a given text (eg a company name) in a selected area of a HTML page. So I used Textrange.findText for it (need IE compatibility). But it only finds a match, if the section doesn't contains <br> element. If the company name is like "some big company", and the HTML is like

<p> Some <span>big</span> company</p>

than the findText finds it without problem. But otherwise like

<p> Some <br> big company</p>

the call of findText('Some big company') finds nothing. So I suppose that the problem is with the <br> tag, but many page uses this tag to format text with line breaks.

findText reference: link

I couldn't find any solution for this myself, maybe you could help. I accept every kind of help or advice. (sorry for mistakes)
