Jun 29, 2009I am trying to detect the DOM element on a unkown web page from thecurrent selected text on that page.Which means: I select text on a web page and then I would like to getthe dom element to which this text belongs.What I came up with was something like that: (imagin we selected theword John on that page....)var array = $("*:contains('John')"); ---> get all domelements that contain the text 'John'But, instead of returning all dom elements that contain 'John' , itreturns only the path from the HTML element to the P element thatcontains the text 'John'.

Jul 27, 2011I searched about this problem over Internet and found the same result many times, I found this example on stackoverflow [URL] but this example didn't work in my project; I am making a toolbar with buttons that insert HTML tags around the selected text in a <textarea>, this exemple didn't work because when the user click on a button the selected text won't be selected anymore because <textarea> loses focus and selected text will be unselected, I am targeting Firefox and compatible browsers so you don't need to give me the IE code; jQuery codes are accepted;

Adding Text To Textarea - Create An Additional Button That Will Insert Some Text - Certain Html Tags
Mar 10, 2010I 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.

Wrapping Tags Around Selected Text In A Text Area!!
Jun 16, 2006I'm trying to 'wrap tags' around text in a text box.
<script language=javascript>
function insertFauxTags(fauxTag, e, endFauxTag)
{
var e = document.frmAddNewForum.txtTopicMessage.selected;
document.frmAddNewForum.txtTopicMessage.Value += fauxTag + e + endFauxTag;
}
</script>
And my form:
<form runat="server" id="frmAddNewForum">
<asp:textbox id="txtTopicMessage" runat="server" cssclass="formtext" rows="5" textmode="MultiLine" width="95%" style="width:95%"></asp:textbox>
</form>
And here's how I'm calling the function:
<a href="javascript:insertFauxTags('[p]' + e + '[/p]')"><img src="http://www.<%=strSiteName%>/images/parabutton.gif" border="0" alt="Paragraph" /></a>
When I run this in FF I get 'e' is not defined - any ideas?
How To Detect Where Text Wraps
Oct 3, 2010What I'm trying to do is insert hard-coded line breaks where ever the text wraps inside a div or td element (or any other element, I suppose). The point is to ensure that the text always wraps in the same place in print as it does on screen, which in turn will ensure that the container element is always the same height in print as it is on screen. It needs to work on non-monospaced type, so counting characters isn't really an option.
I've done lots of googling on this and the only thing I've found that even acknowledges that wrapped text has multiple lines is the getClientRect() method. This method returns a collection of rectangles-- one for each line of text in the container element. This can be used to determine how many lines there are, and the dimensions of each, but I don't think that really helps me, unfortunately.
JQuery :: Detect How Many Lines Of Text Within A Div Or A Tag?
Jun 3, 2010Can Jquery Detect How Many Lines of Text within a Div or A tag?
I am attempting to have different backgrounds depending on how many lines the left navigation takes up. For example if the item in the left nav only takes up one line it will have backgroundA. If the item in the left nav only takes up 2 lines it will have backgroundB etc.. Currently I have everything with backgroundA but there are a few that are taking up two lines or three lines and I can't shorten them as that is what the customer needs to have, but it looks horrible...
So can Jquery detect how many lines of text within a div or a tag and follow the css so it knows when it goes to another line and it can switch the background to something longer?

Aug 16, 2010Is there a way to tell if the text in a text box has been selected forwards or backwards?If you select some text from left to right and then hold down shift and use the cursor keys the right end of the selection moves. If you select some text from right to left and then hold down shift and use the cursor keys the left end of the selection moves.Is there a way in Javascript to detect which way the text has been selected? I need to know if the "end" position is before the "start" position or after. Using ranges and selection objects seems to "normalise" the selection so that the start is before the end.
View 2 Replies View RelatedOverflow Detect To Break Text Into Chunks?
Oct 5, 2010I am trying to work out if this is possible: I have some html/text that I want to break apart into different elements (div tags), only one div tag should be visible/shown and at the bottom of the element are the number of "pages" (01/02/03/04...), each of these "pages" is actually just the next div element, the user can click on the "page number" so they can move to the next element (hidden initially) by using javascript to change which element should be displayed. Clicking on the the "page" will bring up that particular chunk of text. The div element is a specific size (width and height), and thats why only a certain amount of text can fit into it. These elements will be created dynamically from a database.
Right now I can do this by either manually forcing the user to break the text apart themselves by entering the text/html using multiple WYSIWYG editor text areas and giving them a rough amount of characters they can use and/or only allowing a certain amount of characters per textarea....Another alternative I thought of was to use php cut up the text into pieces and place them into divs by counting the number of characters based on the which font is theoretically being employed (I have a javascript script to detect if a particular font is available - how reliable it is I have yet to determine). But I was hoping that there was a solution in javascript to automatically detect when the text overflows and generate/change the number of divs, split the html/text up into the correct number of pieces and RE-generate the internal div page numbers (01/02/03/04...).
I guess there a number of problems with this idea that may stop it from being practical, such as which browser is being used, which font is being used and how the user has their text size set on their browser window... and probably other things I am not thinking of. I was hoping that by detecting if the text overflowed something could be done, but perhaps it is too complicated? Is there something out there that can do this? Is it possible? Perhaps too there are other solutions to the problem, either ones that are already out there or one that has to be built from scratch? I guess in the end my question is, is there a cleaner way of breaking the text apart in javascript by using overflow or something similar than doing it by counting characters with a server-side language?
