I'm about to build a custom CMS using PHP, but I was hoping to add text formatting (bold, italic and maybe inline links) to a textarea in a secure admin section.
I was wondering whether it's possible to use Javascript to allow the user to highlight some text and click a button which will cause the script to write the appropriate HTML tags into the textarea.
By the way, I'm new to Javascript so be gentle.
I have such a text
<input type="text" name="search_txt" value="">
<textarea name="txt_m">
My hobby is bicycle.
My hobby is driving a car.
</textarea>
I would like to bold and color a specified text
in input field search_txt for instance "hobby" string.
How to do that in JS?
I have read about using a SSI to incorporate .txt files into your site.
Okay, I did that, but the Items do not word wrap i.e "<br>
How can I get each item in the .txt file to break after each is printed using a SSI??
*Details
-----------------
The .txt file is a listing of songs that get updated everyday and it is being put into a scroll area.
I work in Notepad (does it matter for creating .txt)?
-----------------
I need to know as soon as possible 'cause I want the site to go "Live".
I have a dollar amount that is calculated on the page based on amounts entered into textboxes.
The result tends to end up being something like 27.432
how do I round to 2 decimal places for output?
I want to preserve how the text looks in the code. It's a <td>
element, so I styled it like this: td#textarea { white-space: pre; }
It's working in FF. But IE6 is getting rid of the first blank line of
my text. This line is necessary....
Is it possible to have text formatting inside textareas? I mean, can you show parts of text in a textarea as bold, italic, underlined, or such? If so, how's that work?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm currently working on an online content management system which allows users to edit html-pages without seeing the HTML-tags.
Is it possible to use buttons for text formatting? I would like to have buttons for adding a link and adding headers. But without showing the user the html-tags.
i am making a content manager, i want to be able to have the user format text with bold, italics, fontsize, color, etc within the text field window, kind of like the page here where we post topics and reply, any ideas where i can find any free scripts for this?
View 11 Replies View RelatedI'm going through some "learning by doing" of javascript through trial
and error, and admittedly have a lot to learn. But in taking various
scripts and dissecting them, I still can't figure out if what I want to
do is possible, and that is this:
I'm trying to include a paragraph on my page that is randomly chosen
each time the page loads. This I can do. But in this paragraph I'm
trying to include varied text formatting (parts bold, parts different
color, etc), and make part of it a link.
If I use unformatted, un-linked text, it works fine, but that's not my
goal. When I try including html in the items from which to be selected
randomly, whether by directly specifying the attributes or using CSS
class references, nothing displays, which makes me wonder what of all
this is the problem.
Apologies for the almost duplicate post but thought this was much
clearer description of the issue than what I originally posted.
I'm trying to do simple integration with a third-party
web application. The app has an 'Action' button on all pages that
can be associate with a JS function. Our application is very
proficient at parsing text provided it is in some reasonably standard structure.
Is what we are trying to do is have a JS function that can be called
from any page in their system that will provide a reasonable representation
of the text on the screen. I need something close to document.body.innerText; the problem with this function is that it strips spacing from tables so we can't get consistent layout.
The consistent layout I am looking for would be the same as if you did
the following on any page:
1) Select all
2) Copy
3) Paste to notepad
Is there a function or process that will retrieve all text and retain
formatting?
I have been in the process of re-designing my website to utilize some of the functionality and benefits of jquery. I'm building a slider set for my site, and each slide contains it's own nav box and text description of said slide. Things are working fairly well for the most part, but I'm encountering an issue with text formatting on the slides, and I figured it would be best to post my information here and try to get some assistance.My script.js file contains all of the necessary info for the slides (a code example is below):
Background images, slide text and url's
var photos = [ {
"title" : "Clouds",
"cssclass" : "cloud",
"image" : "bg_cloud.jpg",
"text" : "
A cloud is a visible mass of water droplets or frozen ice crystals suspended in the Earth's atmosphere above the surface of the Earth or other planetary body. Clouds in the Earth's atmosphere are studied in the nephology or cloud physics branch of meteorology. Two processes, possibly acting together, can lead to air becoming saturated: cooling the air or adding water vapor to the air. Generally, precipitation will fall to the surface; an exception is virga which evaporates before reaching the surface.",}];Here's what the finished product of that code looks like on the front end:Each slide in the set looks similar to this (but obviously contains different information). As the text for each slide is contained within the .js file and not within the html, is there any way to format it so that I can use things like italics, bold, etc.?
I grabbed this code from Dynamic Drive. I'm trying to style it better. I've had some success, but some thing are giving me a run for my money since i don't know JS.I would actually like the text to scroll from right to left instead of up and downThe only way I can figure out how ot get the quotes inside by scroller to look like quotes is to add an insane amount of spaces (&nbps.

im sure this will be pretty simple, at the moment i have some code which sends text from a textarea to a php file, the php file then stores the data into a database.the javascript post is as follows:
var text = document.getElementById(area).value;
http.open('post', 'autosave.php?text='+text);
there is a little bit more to this(just a handle response).My issue is that when the data is passed through javascript newlines and breaks disappear, so when i call the saved data it is presented as one long string with no formatting.i tried the nl2br() function and htmlspecialchars() function in the php file that the javascript passes the data to, this made no difference. I then tried to replace /n with <br /> in the javascript before passing the text variable again this made no differnce.
i am planning to create a blog for myself. whenever i want to post a code snippet, then i want that snippet to be neatly formatted just like how the snippets in this dream in code appears.links to free rich text editors that serves this purpose. i prefer editors created by using javascript, jquery, ajax or php(because i want to develop my blog using php)i googled and i found editors like tinymce, fckeditor, YUI editor, free richtext editor.but among all, i found YUI is serving my purpose to some extent. but remaining editors are not providing option for code formatting.(even YUI also doesn't provide directly. but to some extent it preserves that formatting..)and also i am very much interested to know what library dream in code is using for the text editor that we all members see when we post our replies or queries... i tried by going to page source
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am creating a small CMS module for a client. I created a little form and when they click Submit, it goes straight out into an include (.inc) file, which is connected to the web page to be displayed.
The trouble I am having is that I'd like to create an additional button that will insert some text (certain html tags to make their life easier, etc) - I got it to work, actually. The script executes and the text is inserted - but once the script runs and the page refreshes (or whatever it does), the text then disappears. The only way I can seem to get it to stay put is when I use "onmouseup" instead of "onclick" - which means that every time the user accidentally mouses over the thing, it inserts the text.
I would like to ask is it posible to add text from a text file to a text area on a page..
Philp if you read this i am not asking for a javascript code i am asking wether or not it can be done.
P.s if your a nice person like philp is not and you want to private message me if you have one

End result: I want to have buttons along the top of a textarea which will be used to add tags around highlighted text / the text curser thingy. (Basically it will be an edit box like the I am using now to make this post).
Problem at the moment: I want to reference the var to use in the function. e.g.
function addtext(id) {
var al = "<div style="text-align:left;"></div>";
document.myform.outputtext.value += id;
}
"id" will be defined as "al" in the HTML onclick function, I want this to use "var al" where it says ".value += id;".
HTML:
<form name="myform">
