Oops. This sentence:
"I want to traverse the array, looking at the title attribute, and if
it is in the array $search I want the style changed. "
Should be:
"I want to traverse the list, looking at the title attribute, and if
it is in the array $search I want the style changed."
And this:
var $title_to_search = value;
// pseudo code.... I know this is junk
$gallery.find('li').attr('title',$title).css('background-
color','red');
Should be:
var $title_to_search = value;
// pseudo code.... I know this is junk
$gallery.find('li').attr('title',$title_to_search).css('background-
color','red');
