HTMLIFrameElement.findNext()
Non-standard
This feature is not on a current W3C standards track, but it is supported on the Firefox OS platform. Although implementations may change in the future and it is not supported widely across browsers, it is suitable for use in code dedicated to Firefox OS apps.
This API is available on Firefox OS for privileged or certified applications only.
The findNext()
method of the HTMLIFrameElement
highlights the next or previous instance of a search result after a findAll()
search has been carried out.
Invoking this method results in a mozbrowserfindchange
event firing, which carries details about the search results.
Note: Use of the Browser API requires a privileged app, and browser
and/or embed-apps
permissions, depending on what you want to do. See Using the Browser API for more details.
Syntax
<var>instanceOfHTMLIframeElement</var>.findNext(direction);
Return value
Void.
Parameters

- A string indicating the direction in which you want to cycle through the available search results. Available values are
