Easily Insert Text At/surrounding Selections

Jan 1, 2003

Just a quick 10-minute thing I whipped up out of boredom:

In Mozilla, every textarea now has:

surroundSelection(leftstr, rightstr)

and insertAtSelection(str)

methods.

In IE, you need to explicitly give textareas those methods by:

ExtendTextArea(refToTextArea)

And now that textarea has those same methods.

I see this question asked enough that I thought it might be useful enough to post this.

JQuery :: Finding Surrounding Text At Mouse Position?

Sep 3, 2010

I am hoping you can help me. I am finding this problem rather complex to solve. I need to be able to find the surrounding text at the mouse position. For example, if a user clicks on a word in a paragraph, I need to programmatically know what the text is surrounding the click point. The text in question is not just content text, but DOM elements read in as text rather than the DOM element itself. For example, if a user clicks at the word "This" in the following:

<table><tr><td>This is good</td></tr> then I would like to know how to get the text "<td>" just before the "This" as text, not as a DOM element. Furthermore, how can I "enlargen" the scope of my capture, such that I can programmatically get the "<table><tr><td>" part as well as the "is good</td></tr>" part?

JQuery :: Building Array From Text Selections

Apr 1, 2010

I have several <img> lines in my markup that contain an onmouseover attribute, as shown below: <img id="flowersPic" class="queue" class="queue" src="media/flowers.jpg" onmouseover="playVideo('flowers.flv'); "/> . .<img id="animalsPic" class="queue" src="media/animals.jpg" onmouseover="playVideo('animals.flv'); "/> . .<img id="waterPic" class="queue" src="media/water.jpg" onmouseover="playVideo('water.flv');"/> . .</body>I want to use jQuery to build a standard JavaScript array of just the video names in the onmouseover attribute. So for the markup above the array would be the stringsflowers.flvanimals.flvwater.flvI expect the jQuery will be something likev=$(img.queue).??????.get();but I'm really not sure what should go in the ?????? area.

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:

Adding Text To Textarea - Create An Additional Button That Will Insert Some Text - Certain Html Tags

Mar 10, 2010

I 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.

JQuery :: Lambda Functions - Edit And Reuse The Function Easily

Apr 10, 2011

Seeing the examples I have noted that you always use lambda functions. Is there any reason for that? why you don't make something like this:

I think is more clear than:

And we can edit and reuse the function easily, also if you are using an editor like Netbeans you can see all your functions in a list.

Even more, I think in some situations is faster a closure because we are not creating a new object every time we pass the function:

Is there any reason for chosing lambda functions?

Generate Table From Which Can Easily Edit Contents Of A MySQL Database

Jul 30, 2009

I would like to be able to generate a table from which I can easily edit the contents of a mySQL database (similar to phpMyAdmin.) In that table I would like to have a button that will open a pop-up, allowing me to edit - and maintain formatting such as apostrophes and line breaks - a long description field. That popup will then populate a hidden input field on its parent with the modified description.

I've got the pop-up opening and its fields are populated using php's GET function (see line 11). The special characters, particularly carriage returns, are messing me up; I can remove them using php's str_replace, but I want to retain them for formatting.

Grouping Tags And Surrounding Each Group With DIV

Oct 7, 2009

Code:
<script src="[URL]" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
var playlistContentBuilderSearch='';
var contentLength = 7;

for(var i=0;i < contentLength;i++){
playlistContentBuilderSearch += "<li class='searchResultsItem'>";
playlistContentBuilderSearch += "<h4>Title</h4>";
playlistContentBuilderSearch += "<p>lalala</p>";
playlistContentBuilderSearch += "</li>";
} .....

As you may have guessed contentLength is dynamic, coming from webservice. For this example its value is 7 but it can be 9 or 23 etc.. The idea is to group the <li> tags in six surrounded by numbered divs for each group, just like the previous example. How can I do it?

How To Insert Text From Popup OnClick()

I have a form, and one of the text boxes should be a URL to an image. I have a link to popup an image-upload script. On that popup, after they upload the file, they'll have a URL. I don't want to give specific instructions to "Copy paste the URL into the form". I want it so that they'll click a button called "Insert into Form" and it'll automatically close the popup and insert the URL into the text box.

Insert Text From Popup Window To Parent

Feb 3, 2005

On my parent page I have a form with an input text field containing the value of a Customer name (pulled from a database). I also have an image link that, when clicked, will launch a popup window that performs a database lookup and displays all Customer names.

What I'm looking for is a javascript solution to do the following:

1. Each Customer name in the popup window be a hyperlink that, when clicked, will populate the Customer input text field on the parent page (thereby removing the text field's current contents).

2. then, automatically close the popup window.
