Changing Color Of Default Textarea Text?

Aug 30, 2009

Anyways I have a textarea that I have managed through the magic of google to have the default text clear out with the onfocus and if the textarea is left blank to put the default text back in with onblur. I now have a new problem that is a little CSS and a little JS I suppose. I want the default text in the textarea to be grey and the user submitted text to be black. I know it is possible because... well facebook has it.

<tr>
<td colspan="2">
Invite via Email: <br />
<cftextarea name="emails" cols="50" rows="3" value="Separate Emails by Comma" onclick = "if (this.value == 'Separate Emails by Comma') this.value = '';" onblur = "if (this.value == '') this.value = 'Separate Emails by Comma';" ></cftextarea>
</td>
</tr>

I don't actually have to put the text in the JS Function, but to have it pull the default text from attribute that would be awesome to.

Feb 19, 2010

I need to clear the default value from a textarea when a user clicks on the textarea and then replace it if the user clicks away from the textarea without modifying it. I have managed to accomplish this with the textfields in my forms but I am struggling to get the textarea element to mimic this behavior. Here is the script I am using:

Changing Background Color Of Text Box

Feb 3, 2009

So I'm trying to change the background color of a textbox depending on how many characters are enter (putting it green/red depending on count), and I'm having a hell of a time. There are 50 different textbox IDs on the page (give or take, dynamically generated), each unique/sequentially numbered (id1, id2 ... id50).Now I'm not that good with Javascript, but this is what I can up with so far.I was trying to use 'this.id' so I wouldn't have to name each of the IDs.

Changing The Text Color Of An Input Element (IE)?

Jan 9, 2007

How on earth do you use javacript to change the text color of an input element, and have it work with IE??? I've tried numerous solutions. All of them work on browsers such as Mozilla. But none of them work on IE.

This works in every browser I've tried besides IE:

var whatever = document.createElement( 'input' );
whatever.type = 'text'
// (more code)...
whatever.style.color = 'black'

This also works for other browsers besides IE:

whatever.style.cssText = 'color:black;'

I've tried other things as well. Nothing works in IE. Is there anyway
to change the text color inside an input box dynamically, and have it
work in IE?

Randomly Changing Color Of Specified Text On Page Reload

Jul 9, 2009

I am currently successfully using the following code to randomly change the color of specified text ("quotations" - see below) each time the page is reloaded. The only problem is that the colors are too random. Instead of the code I now have, I'm looking for code that would allow me to define a distinct list of colors through which the text would randomly rotate each time the page loads. In other words, I want to choose each of the randomly loaded colors of my text.

<html><head>
<script type="text/javascript">
var quotations = new Array()
quotations[1]= "text1"
quotations[2]= "text2"
quotations[3]= "text3"
quotations[4]= "text4"
quotations[5]= "text5"
function display(){
a=Math.floor(Math.random()*quotations.length)
document.getElementById('quotation').innerHTML=quotations[a]
setTimeout("display()",500000) .....
}
</script>

<script language="Javascript">
function rancolour(){
var red = Math.floor(Math.random() * 255);
var green = Math.floor(Math.random() * 255);
var blue = Math.floor(Math.random() * 255);
document.all.main.style.color = 'rgb('+red+','+green+','+blue+')';
}
</script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/style.css">
</head><body>
<body onLoad="rancolour();">
<div id="main" style="color:#FF0062">
<div id="quotation"><SCRIPT type="text/javascript">display()</SCRIPT></div>
<form onchange="display(this.value)">
<input type="submit" id="style3" value="M O R E" />
</form></div></div></body></html>

Change Color Onclick For Default Textbox Value?

Jan 11, 2011

I've been trying to make a default value in a text box go away when clicked.

The general consensus on this forum and on the rest of the internet seems to be that this code:

<script>
function clearText(field){
if (field.defaultValue == field.value) field.value = ''
else if (field.value == '') field.value = field.defaultValue;

[Code]....

But I wonder how I can add a color change to this function. They default value "enter email address here" would be in grey, but when the user begins to type, it would be black. then deleted what'd been typed, back to grey.

document.getElementById(email_box).style.color='#000000'; .....is that too nave..? It didn't work no matter where I put it. And dreamweaver didn't like it when I tried to copy the syntax of the first function, but make it change colors instead. It furthermore hated me trying to assign two different functions to the onClick event.

It also didn't like at all when I tried to apply two classes to the same object..

JQuery :: AddClass - Change The Color Of Surrounding Text Of The Disabled Radio Button To The Color Grey

Feb 8, 2010

I have this markup:

[Code]...

There are two radio buttons, sometimes one will be disabled, other times the other will be disabled. I would like to make a script that: First: Changes the color of surrounding text of the disabled radio button to the color grey. Second: Checks the other radio button.

This was my plan: I would make a script that: First: Removes all the current classes and add the class "greyed_out" (or better: change only the color of) the parent element, all siblings and children of siblings (if any) of the radio button that is disabled at that time.Second: Sets the attribute "checked to the other radio button". I made a script, but when I set the bottom radio button to disabled the script doesn't work:
