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.
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:
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.
I want to change the color of a each word in a block of text. For example I want each word in a sentence to change to a different color automatically.
I was thinking that is if it was possible to move the color tags around each word and put a time delay between each time it moves but how I will accomplish these two actions.
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:
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?
I am trying to Change the text color of my buttons when they are clicked can somone tell me where to insert and what line of code needs inserted. I am very new to this, i kinda just got thrown into it at work here and am trying to make it happen Code:
I have a textbox thats initial text color is set to grey, I want to change the text color to black when the user clicks on it, is this done by using onclick="style=color:Black;" I have tried this and failed but maybe ive got something slightly wrong or is it done a different way completely.
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>

I'm working on implementing watermark in datepicker text field (JQuery V1.8.9). I have a datepicker field with watermark set (dd/mm/yyyy). Watermark text displaying in gray color. When I select a date, the text field still having the gray color instead of changing to black color. but, when i key in the date and focus out, it's working fine. Also, this is working fine in Chrome but not with Firefox. I'm not sure the exact cause...
1) search the database for the words user is typing in the text box. This will happen with each key press.2) if there is a match - I need to change the text color.
I have a div whose hover color is initially set through a CSS style sheet, but have found that if I change the background through a script, the hover is wiped out. Here's how I'm changing the colornode.style.backgroundColor = '#00FF00';Later on, I need to restore the normal color and have the hover still work. Is there any way to programatically reinstate the h
Is there code to just underline linked text to a certain color (red) but doesn't change the text color (it was white & when hovered over, it still stays white with a red underline)?
I want to make the date at the top right darker blue. But when I do that, all the light blue text next to the pictures also changes.
How can I control the color of the result of document.write output without changing the forground color of the entire page? Note my document write includes variables, so I was hesitant to imbed an html command in the document.write.
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..
I have a form with 3 buttons with a text box next to each button
what i want to do is when a textbox is filled out the default button is changed to the button next to that text box rather than the first button on the form.
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:
I have a form that I am using for several different pages as they are exactly the same... however at the top you must make a choice from the drop down box that then shows the appropriate fields to fill in. Can I make the drop down default to a certain option depending on which page they are coming from?
Is there a way to override the default behaviour for single selects which makes it impossible to unselect a selected item?
What i need is: when someone clicks on an option, if it isn't selected is should be selected, but if it's already selected then it should be unselected.
having a small bit of trouble with some javascript trying to change the background color of a div. The div is id=break and the function to change it is:
function changeBG(){ document.break.background-color = 'ffffff#'}
However that does not work, no colour changes. There is no obvious errors that I can see. Have I misundertsood?
So my functions are dealing with Time. The function delay_time() is called by clicking a button in html and the return value of the function is displayed in a textbox. What I need to do is basically if the value of resultingtime is greater that the value of delay time I need the value shown in red(ff0000) and bold and if it isnt then I need it displayed in bold green(00ff00). but Ive tried doing this in my javascript and found that I cant code it in there the way that I know. I think that I have to do it in the html coding but I dont know how.
