Searching and copying within a page?

Hi all,

I am looking for a solution for a project I am working on, maybe some of =
you can point me into the right direction here.

On a website on our own server there is a webpage with a very long =
table. I want to put up a search form near the top of the page where =
people can fill in the word they are looking for. I need some kind of =
script that searches through that same page for the word and somehow =
copy the table row <tr> word </tr> surrounding that word and paste that =
<TR> either to another page into an empty table or on the same page =
somewhere.

I have done many searches on searching :-) but I only come up with =
search engines that give a link to a page it has found the word on.. and =
I am already on that page...=20

Due to the changing table I can not put bookmarks everywhere in order to =
try to jump to the place it finds the word. Also there are mostly more =
rows where that word occurs, so I need the script to copy possibly a =
number of rows and "write" them to another table on that page or on the =
next page.

I would think this could be done with some JavaScript or at most a CGI =
script, but I am not strong enough in those languages to create one all =
by myself. By the way, I do have access to the server so CGI is OK.

Does anybody know of an existing script that can do this or is it easy =
to make something like this? Please respond to my personal e-mail =
