I have been in the process of re-designing my website to utilize some of the functionality and benefits of jquery. I'm building a slider set for my site, and each slide contains it's own nav box and text description of said slide. Things are working fairly well for the most part, but I'm encountering an issue with text formatting on the slides, and I figured it would be best to post my information here and try to get some assistance.My script.js file contains all of the necessary info for the slides (a code example is below):
A cloud is a visible mass of water droplets or frozen ice crystals suspended in the Earth's atmosphere above the surface of the Earth or other planetary body. Clouds in the Earth's atmosphere are studied in the nephology or cloud physics branch of meteorology. Two processes, possibly acting together, can lead to air becoming saturated: cooling the air or adding water vapor to the air. Generally, precipitation will fall to the surface; an exception is virga which evaporates before reaching the surface.",}];Here's what the finished product of that code looks like on the front end:Each slide in the set looks similar to this (but obviously contains different information). As the text for each slide is contained within the .js file and not within the html, is there any way to format it so that I can use things like italics, bold, etc.?
I've included a js file in the header of the site which utilizes a function in a php file. Just the standard <script language="javascript" src="[URL]"></script> In the .js file I'm setting the location to a php file as a variable... var url="/file-here.php"; url=document.location.host+url; Obviously the document.location.host isn't working for me but here's what's going on... At first I just had, var ="[URL]"; in the js file. So if the user is on [URL] the script will work, however if the user is on domain.com/some-directory/another the script won't work, because I've included www. in the variable within the js file.
However, if I set it to var ="[URL]";, it will work on domain.com/some-directory/ but not on [URL]. So basically I need to return the host url somehow, depending on if the user is on the page with www. or without www. so it will always work. With php, I could just use $server['HTTP_HOST']/file-here.php and it will always return www.domain.com or domain.com depending on the URL the user is on, but obviously php won't work in a js file so I'm looking for the correct string/command to get this. How to return just the www.domain.com or domain.com portion of the current URL with javascript? So no matter where they are on the site, with or without www. the script can still function by having the correct URL to the PHP file at all times?
I have read about using a SSI to incorporate .txt files into your site.
Okay, I did that, but the Items do not word wrap i.e "<br>
How can I get each item in the .txt file to break after each is printed using a SSI??
*Details ----------------- The .txt file is a listing of songs that get updated everyday and it is being put into a scroll area. I work in Notepad (does it matter for creating .txt)? -----------------
I need to know as soon as possible 'cause I want the site to go "Live".
Now that is fine when the text is only one line long. Suppose it's longer? What I want to do is have Javascript give the variable contentString its text from a hosted text file in a similar manner to the way Javascript can insert more Javascript using a hosted .js file.
I illustrate what I need to do using some "dummy" javascript:
I'm about to build a custom CMS using PHP, but I was hoping to add text formatting (bold, italic and maybe inline links) to a textarea in a secure admin section.
I was wondering whether it's possible to use Javascript to allow the user to highlight some text and click a button which will cause the script to write the appropriate HTML tags into the textarea.
Is it possible to have text formatting inside textareas? I mean, can you show parts of text in a textarea as bold, italic, underlined, or such? If so, how's that work?
I'm currently working on an online content management system which allows users to edit html-pages without seeing the HTML-tags.
Is it possible to use buttons for text formatting? I would like to have buttons for adding a link and adding headers. But without showing the user the html-tags.
i am making a content manager, i want to be able to have the user format text with bold, italics, fontsize, color, etc within the text field window, kind of like the page here where we post topics and reply, any ideas where i can find any free scripts for this?
I'm going through some "learning by doing" of javascript through trial and error, and admittedly have a lot to learn. But in taking various scripts and dissecting them, I still can't figure out if what I want to do is possible, and that is this:
I'm trying to include a paragraph on my page that is randomly chosen each time the page loads. This I can do. But in this paragraph I'm trying to include varied text formatting (parts bold, parts different color, etc), and make part of it a link.
If I use unformatted, un-linked text, it works fine, but that's not my goal. When I try including html in the items from which to be selected randomly, whether by directly specifying the attributes or using CSS class references, nothing displays, which makes me wonder what of all this is the problem.
Apologies for the almost duplicate post but thought this was much clearer description of the issue than what I originally posted.
I'm trying to do simple integration with a third-party web application. The app has an 'Action' button on all pages that can be associate with a JS function. Our application is very proficient at parsing text provided it is in some reasonably standard structure.
Is what we are trying to do is have a JS function that can be called from any page in their system that will provide a reasonable representation of the text on the screen. I need something close to document.body.innerText; the problem with this function is that it strips spacing from tables so we can't get consistent layout.
The consistent layout I am looking for would be the same as if you did the following on any page:
1) Select all 2) Copy 3) Paste to notepad
Is there a function or process that will retrieve all text and retain formatting?
I grabbed this code from Dynamic Drive. I'm trying to style it better. I've had some success, but some thing are giving me a run for my money since i don't know JS.I would actually like the text to scroll from right to left instead of up and downThe only way I can figure out how ot get the quotes inside by scroller to look like quotes is to add an insane amount of spaces (&nbps.
I have the below Java on a the mouse up event of a button in Adobe Professional 8.0. I would like to make the last part of the subject line either bold or all caps. Is there a way to do this? var cSubLine = "500 Order for " + this.getField("CustomerName").value + " " + this.getField("Unit_Down").value;
im sure this will be pretty simple, at the moment i have some code which sends text from a textarea to a php file, the php file then stores the data into a database.the javascript post is as follows:
var text = document.getElementById(area).value; http.open('post', 'autosave.php?text='+text);
there is a little bit more to this(just a handle response).My issue is that when the data is passed through javascript newlines and breaks disappear, so when i call the saved data it is presented as one long string with no formatting.i tried the nl2br() function and htmlspecialchars() function in the php file that the javascript passes the data to, this made no difference. I then tried to replace /n with <br /> in the javascript before passing the text variable again this made no differnce.
i am planning to create a blog for myself. whenever i want to post a code snippet, then i want that snippet to be neatly formatted just like how the snippets in this dream in code appears.links to free rich text editors that serves this purpose. i prefer editors created by using javascript, jquery, ajax or php(because i want to develop my blog using php)i googled and i found editors like tinymce, fckeditor, YUI editor, free richtext editor.but among all, i found YUI is serving my purpose to some extent. but remaining editors are not providing option for code formatting.(even YUI also doesn't provide directly. but to some extent it preserves that formatting..)and also i am very much interested to know what library dream in code is using for the text editor that we all members see when we post our replies or queries... i tried by going to page source
I'm writing a script and I've encountered a problem.. I have a txt file with many words, each word in a different line. For example: the file words.txt contains:
word1 word2 word3 word4 word5
I need to load the content of the file into a variable in my script. I prefer that all the words will be in the same variable with line breaks, but if you'll figure out a way to put it in an array, it's ok too. I really don't know how to do it, and I tried to google but didn't understand.. By the way, I don't want to change the txt file to js file, I need it to remain txt..
I have a folder of images from which I access individual pictures using the ID[Who] variable index passed down from the parent frame plus a local index variable p.
where an example file in Photos is PhotosAndiamo1.jpg, the ID in this case resolving to "Andiamo" and the local variable is = 1. This works great.
I would like to add a file of text captions associated with the pictures, preferably saved in the Photos folder such as PhotoAndiamo1.txt.
While I can fetch the images easily by document.writeing the <img ....> command, how do I do a similar fetch for the text data and document.write it to the HTML? (Short of the hassle of creating text images and fetching those.)
Is there a way to format a date to the current user's country settings? The date I post from the Date() function (Mozilla/JavaScript) is incomprehensible by the back-end application (ASP/VBScript).
I am having some problems keeping the formatting of elements the same for html and javascript, i have a seperate css file for all the formatting of the tags in html, and when i use javascript i want it to stay the same. code...
Does anybody know the easyest way to write a script which can detect whether the browser is able to handle formatted texareas (IE >= 5.5 or Mozilla/Firefox with Midas support).
... or at least adding the commas? I need to format this number as currency. It is within the "flot" code, which is a charting framwork. I dont know anything about javascript at all so bear with me.Here is part of the code, the piece in red calls for the number. This is what I need displayed with commas, so its easy to read. I have found a few examples on the web but I have no idea how to apply them to this code.
var previousPoint = null; $("#placeholder").bind("plothover", function (event, pos, item) { $("#x").text(pos.x.toFixed(2));
