Emulating Div ContentEditable = "true" With Textarea
Aug 7, 2011
I'm trying to emulate exactly how a div with the attribute contentEditable = "true" would operate using a textarea...trying and failing. I found some code somewhere which attempts to do something like his but it isn't working well for me.
I want to do this without jquery and with javascript only. The best example I can think of is Facebook's text area that you use to write on somebody's wall.
Here's my sizing function
Code:
And here's my text area:-
Code:

I'm in the middle of creating a project management system for our office, and I was wondering if javascript is capable of emulating drag and drop? This would allow me to do some cool stuff.

What do you think about emulating private variables for a class this
way?
function Something() {
var private;
Something.prototype.getPrivate = function() { return private; }
Something.prototype.setPrivate = function(newPrivate) { private =
newPrivate; }
}
var some = new Something("My private");
alert(some.getPrivate());
alert(some.setPrivate("Nyah nyah"));
alert(some.getPrivate());
That way the accessor methods instances are shared among instances of
Something. What do you think?

I want to mimic the functionality of IE5.5 onmouseenter and
onmouseleave events, using DOM-standard onmouseover and onmouseout
events. The subject element is a table cell that can contain any
freestyle html. I need to fire some JS when user enters the cell with
his mouse, and fire some stuff when he leaves the area. Unfortunately,
if I use onmouseover and onmouseout events, onmousout is fired when
mouse is over some inner element within the table cell contents. The
only way I currently see to handle this is reading the mouse
coordinates in the onmouseout handler and testing if the mouse is
within the cell boundary box or not. But, I am afraid, user coulf
manage to move the mouse first to some inner element, and then quickly
to a space out of the cell so that onmouseover event attached to that
cell is never fired.

Is it possible to make a SELECT box editable, where a user can type their own entry to be acted upon on top of being able to select an option of course?

Does a contentEditable DIV have the notion of an internal document? I'm trying to convert code that uses an IFrame.contentWindow.document to use the "document" inside a contentEditable DIV but they don't seem to be similar beasts. Eventually I want to add stylesheets to the contentEditable DIV as well as event handling. I'm porting an IFrame editor to a contentEditable DIV based editor.

I have a contenteditable div, it has some paragraphs in it.Assuming a situation, when I click the button "set caret position", the main div will focus, the caret will start at position number 8 of second paragraph, which means the caret will appear after the word "draw".How would you do it?

I'm using a div with contenteditable=true, and I need to know where the caret is for operations like splitting the html contents of that div where the caret is. Ultimately, if a piece of text is selected, I'll want to split that html content on the selection start / end.jCaret only seems to work for textareas.Is this possible in a div?

I have a contentEditable element, and am using setTimeout() to call a function which changes the innerHTML of the div. Problem is that changing innerHTML moves the caret to the end of the text.
I need to keep the caret pos so the user can keep typing. I tried storing the caret pos with
cursorPos=document.selection.createRange().duplicate();
And then later restoring it with cursorPos.select() - which is IE only, but it doesn't work because the content of the div gets changed between calls, and the behavior is undefined (it basically selects everything) ...

I'm building a rich editor to replace a textarea, and am about to
release it as "live." But there's one last thing I want to do with it.
When using a textarea, if the visitor clicks on "back" then the
information is (usually) still there. But with the contenteditable
field, it's gone.
I read on a web page a few days ago that there was an easy solution to
this, but I didn't save the information and didn't save the page. Any
ideas?

I have contentEditable="true" on some span tags on my page. The idea is to allow admin users to edit content inline on the page without having to send them to a giant form page. When only using contentEditable="true" it works fantastically. You can click into the span and type away. Now, the admin users want the text to be selected in the span once they click into it or bring focus to it by tabbing. I'm using the following function onclick and onfocus to get this working:
Code:
function selectText(el)
{
var span = $(el);
// FIREFOX
if (Browser.Engine.gecko) {
var div = document.createRange();
div.setStartBefore(span);
[Code]...

I have two grids, they both display buttons. One grid displays numbers, true or false and yes or no, and the other grid displays letters, true, false, yes and no.
The second grid is not displayed in the code (used css to not display second grid buttons (.answerBtns)) Now using the getButtons() function, if the user selects button "1" in first grid (the grid which you have to open using (Open Grid) link, then it should display button "A" in second grid, if user selects button "2" in first grid, then it should displays buttons "A" and "B" in second grid, if "3" then display "A", "B" and "C" and so on.
Now except using if statements and stating which buttons should be displayed and not displayed depending on the button chosen in first grid, is there a more efficent way of coding this so that the display of buttons in second grid depends on what is selected in the first grid?
If it is using an array can somebody show a sample of this in their answer. You can just do it for one example and then I should be able to use that to fill it for the other buttons.

I have a perl cgi form that has a popup_list. Based on a value that
is coming in from a database query, I want to either
1) display the value (from the databse) and let the user change it;
OR
2) display the value (from the database), but NOT let the user change
it.
I tried using javascript to disable the popup list, and that works,
except the form "loses" the value of the entry in the popup list.
Maybe "disable" is not the correct property I want to use. If that is
the case, what is it?

I am trying to get the X and Y coordinates to have a pop up form to use as reference, this is a shopping cart so the more items in the cart the further down the page the form needs to open,
i have this CSS:
Code:
#theFormDiv6 {
display:none;
position:absolute;
top:500px;
[Code]....
I am not real good at JS and I am trying to piece together things.
This works in IE but does not in Firefox, when I comment out the getMouseXY() call it works in firefox but obviously doesnt get the new Y value..
anyone know how to make this work in both IE and Firefox??

I'm using window.location.reload(true) to refresh the current page. It
works fine in IE but in FF it doesn't seem to work correctly. If I
view the page source, I see that it has been updated, but the display
isn't updated. What's going on?

I'm building a web app the processes information into a DB. I'm attempting to write a JS validation page. On this page I'm also trying to make the button perform a submit only if the validation returns as true.
Somehow I would like to say if all fields are true then submit to submission.php.

I've setup a form on my website and added a simple validation script to check a few of the fields. After all the validations are done I want the submit button to process two other functions that will handle the submission of the form.
The problem is that if the validation returns true the script just stops and doesn't run the other two functions.
Here is my validation script:
Then on my submit button I have:

Got a timing issue with sending a URI string out to a server side script right before a client side form validation process returns true..The problem is that the return true gets called to quickly for the submission of the URI string to be completed.So my question is, might there be a way to mix a return and a setTimeout?

Lets say I have this array:
a1 = [1,"2",new Array(2.5,3,3.5),4];
And I apply slice(0) on it, to create a copy:
a2 = a1.slice(0);
But this isn't a true copy. If I go a1[2][1] = 42, and then
alert(a2[2][1]) I will see 42 there too. I'm doubting, but I was
wondering if there is a general solution to this problem?
