This is pretty close: http://web.archive.org/web/20080312155845/http://tagarga.com/blok/on/080307 works for inside tags. but not within h1 etc tags - should be able to tweak it though.

anyone?

I am creating automated mouseover tooltips for definitions of words in a glossary database. The problem is that I can't figure out how to not replace the word when it appears in hyperlinks, img and various heading tags. I have populated an array with all the words and their definitions - $glossary What I have at the moment is a simple str_replace, because I actually have no idea how to start this preg_replace. foreach($glossary as $glossary_word => $glossary_definition){ $content = str_replace($glossary_word,'<a href="javascript:;" style="cursor:help;color:#BF601A;" onmouseover="Tip(\''.$glossary_definition.'\')" onmouseout="UnTip()">'.$glossary_word.'</a>',$content); } Would be great if I could populate an array of tags that would be ignored when doing the replace ie: $tags_to_ignore = array('a','img','h1','h2','h3',etc) and somehow include this in the preg_replace. What this would mean is that the function would only add the tooltip to occurrences of the word not in these specified tags. Thanks for any thoughts on this.
