Put Selection On Top Of The Current Select Box?
Mar 31, 2010Is there anyway I could control the selected item, and put it on the top of the current selection box. I know for the first and last 4 item, it may not be able to show on the top of the select box. But if I have hundreds of record, I want the selected item to show on the top if they not the first or last 4. And I am not interested in the items before the selected item either.
I have the testing code below.
<HTML><HEAD><SCRIPT type="text/javascript">
function searchSel() {
var input=document.getElementById('txt').value.toLowerCase();
var list=document.getElementById('items').options;

Folding Menu - How To Remember Current Selection
Aug 24, 2010I am new to JavaScript. I am currently developing a simple CMS in PHP & MySQL. Most of work is already finished, bu now I have to tweak some functionalities in increase user experience. One of it is folding menu (tree menu). I am generating it in PHP and currently I'm using simple JavaScript to expand/collapse submenus (folders). Idea is simple - when an expandable list item (<li>) is clicked (onmouseclick) a simple JS funtion is executed that display a child list (<ul>) and in this way I am building a simple tree menu.
The function is following:
Code:
function showHide(msg_id)
{
var element = document.getElementById(msg_id);
element.style.display = element.style.display=='block' ? 'none' : 'block';
}
The problem is that when I click an list item (that leads to certain article) in a submenu, whole page is reloaded and all previously opened submenus collapse. I would like to have expanded elements that are leading to the last one that I clicked. How can I achieve it? Can you provide me some links to tutorials? Or maybe giva a hint how to tweak my function?

Bring Current Date In Text Box?
Apr 19, 2009I am currently working on a calendar memo site for university, and I'm having a small problem. I have some code to validate a date put into a TextBox (day of month only. Month and Year are in drop down menus and are working fine), but whenever I try to click to validate it, I get the following error in Firebug:
QuotedayBox is not defined
And it points me towards the first part of my validation function. The code to get the TextBox displayed is in a Form HTML element and is:
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="dayBox" VALUE="date" SIZE="2">
The validation function is:
function validate(calEvent) {
Step 1: Check box is not empty.
if (dayBox.length = "") {
alert("Please enter a date")
[Code]....
The error occurs on the line "if (dayBox.length = "") {", right at the start of the function. It looks like the validate function is not recognising that there is a TextBox in the form called dayBox, but I can't see why.
Wrapping A Selection With Text?
Jun 11, 2011I am working on code to wrap BBCodes around a user selection, then leave the selection selected for possibly adding more BBCodes around the same selection.My problem is that there seems to be several different ways to do it and I can't figure out which one is "the best".Now, I can't use the "standard" way of doing this because I am working with TinyMCE. I know there are countless examples on how to do this with textareas... that is NOT what I need.TinyMCE can give me a selection RANGE, a selection NODE or a selection OBJECT. Note that if I use TinyMCE's range, it internally "normalizes" the range to be a standard W3C range, regardless of browser.I've created a new range, extracted the selection from the user's range, created elements for the open and close BBCode, inserted the elements into the range and finally set the user's selection to the new range. Works fine.
I also tried taking the selection node (which is an element), then simply used "innerHTML" to add the opening and closing tags, then set the node to the modified node. Works fine.I've also used the editor's built in "selection.getContent()" and "selection.setContent()" calls and THIS also works.I've even tried using the DOM "surroundContents()" function, then used a regex to change the < and > into [ and ]. Freaky... but that works too.So, my dilemma is... which method should I use???To recap, here's what I want (blue represents selected text):
This is a test sentence. (user selected some text)
This is a test sentence. (text is wrapped and remains selected).
This is a test sentence. (user clicked another bbcode button).

Is It Possible To Append Html Text To Current Document?

View 1 Replies View RelatedInserting Text Into A Div At The Current Cursor Position?
Sep 9, 2009In IE it is a simple matter of: range.text += text; but I am having great difficulty figuring it out for FF.I have looked online for hours but the only solutions that I can find are to do with inserting text into textareas which supply you with nice 'selectionStart', 'selectionEnd' properties. Using a textarea would be useless for my purposes and a div element does not have such properties. An implementation in this case I am thinking would rely solely on the range object for the necesary selection / cursor position information, but I cannot figure out how to do this using the FF/W3C Range object.What I'm basically doing is trying to enable the user to paste unformatted (plain) text into a contenteditable zone for a WYSIWYG editor. I have got it working in IE, but FF is a whole other kettle of fish for this particular issue.

Unwanted Text Selection In MSIE?
Oct 13, 2011I made up a little test program to grab the mouse X and Y coordinates and plan to use it to allow users to resize a window.
Anyway, the problem I'm having is that in MSIE-8, the mouse down and movement causes text to be selected (which I don't want).
Here's is a screenshot from MSIE:

And here is the test program live online: [URL]
Notice that the text in the box is selected... I don't want that to happen.
Of course, it works just fine in Firefox, but not MSIE.

JQuery :: Grab Current Value Of Form Input Text?

Reselecting A Text Field To Edit Without Clearing Current Value?
Jan 6, 2011I'm currently designing a form with client-side validation using javascript. I've set the input property to display as the value (for example, "your name" inside the name field) and I've set the javascript to clear value using name.focus but everytime I reselect the field to edit the value, it clears again, so I'm trying to make it so that on the 2nd time it get's selected, the nameClear funtion doesn't run.Here's what I've got so far, but it's not working. For some reason, the else statement within the function that runs on .focus is showing as invalid in my debugger, but it looks fine to me.
name.focus(function() {
if(name.val("Your name"))
name.val("");

Can't Stop Text Selection When Dragging Object
Jun 16, 2009I have 2 example/test pages of the issue I'm experiencing. For now, I'm just trying to get it to work in a standards-compliant browser, so view in something other than ie:
[URL]
If you click and drag the orange bar up or down, it works fine on the first page. However, on the 2nd page, if you click the orange bar and drag down too fast, it starts selecting text and then the bar gets all wacky.
My suspicion is that the bar gets messed up because the text is being selected. That occurs because if you scroll too fast, the cursor goes off the orange slider bar and starts selecting. If you scroll very slowly so that the cursor doesn't go off the bar it seems to scroll fine.
I've tried everything I can think of to stop the text from being selected, but I'm not 100% sure if that's the cause of the problem or just a symptom of something else (maybe bubbling or something?). I tried returning false on every mouse event on the lower panel, tried creating an absolutely-positioned mask above the text in the lower panel, tried removing all text from the lower panel, tried stopPropagation(), etc., but nothing seems to work.
If I set the mousedown/over/move on the lower panel to return false, it prevents selecting text normally by clicking the mouse & dragging, but it will STILL select the text if I click on the slider bar and drag down.
