I'm looking for a function that I can use which will do the following when the mouse cursor is in a textarea:
know which textarea to work with based on current cursor position (not sure if this possible, couldn't find examples) - i.e. just 1 'Bold' button to operate on multiple textareas.
insert tag or tags (i.e. ,[image]) at cursor position, if text is selected then insert tags around text selection.
I have a script that inserts a Smiley into a textarea for a forum script I'm working on.It works, except that the insertion will only appear at the end of all the existing text.Is there some way to have the smiley insert at the cursor point?
Code:
function AddText(form, Action){
var AddTxt="";

I'm not very well versed in javascript. I'm trying to make a bookmarklet that when I click it will either append text to what I've already written or insert the predefined text at the cursor's position in a textarea. Also the browser I'm trying to do this on is Chromium.
Here's what I have:javascript:void((function(){document.getElementsByTagName('textarea')[0].value='ಠ_ಠ'})())
but this of course changes the entire value of the text field to: ಠ_ಠ ...rather than appending or inserting at the cursor position. I'm guessing append would be the simplest, though cursor position would be most efficient.
I need to get and set the selection cursor place, like selectionStart in firefox and safari. how do I do that?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am currently adding BBCode to my website, and I posted a while ago in this forum for a script that would add tags to my textarea when clicking an BBcode image. But my next problem now is that I need those tags to appear around selected text and at the mouse cursor if no text is selected. Currently all it does is just add the tags at the end of your sentence if you've written something in the textarea. Here is the code I use:
function lolwut(txt)
{
var ta = document.getElementById("my_ta");
ta.value += txt;
}
window.onload = function()
{
lolwut("");
}
For i didnt study HTML the moment i started studying Javascript (Self study)tho willing to study HTML. just didnt bother cause it's old sez my cousin.
here's my code:

1. Where do i insert the HTML codes.
2. Can i also change the appearance of my pop up boxes?
I am loading a page with textareas containing text. By the default, the cursor goes at the beginning of the text.
I would like to position the cursor at the end of the text instead.
Does anyone have a quick script to handle this?
I have created a nice blog form for my users and I would like them to be able to use some aspects of HTML code that I have styled and they can utilise. The way I have this set up at the moment is, much like th reply boxes here, they can click on a button and the code (such as ) is automatically added to the textarea. The problem I have at the moment is that the cursor goes to the end of the content written so far and places whatever they have clicked at the end. I would like to be able to detect the cursor position and then they can add the various tags where they want them.
Also, is there a way I can get the cursor to automatically sit between the opening and closing tags that are generated (as can be seen here)??
function writeCodeTag(code) {
var cache = document.getElementById('f').article.value;
this.code = code;
document.getElementById('f').article.value = cache + code;
document.getElementById('f').article.focus();
}
This function adds the various code tags to the textarea... I have the same sort of thing for smilies.
I'm creating a text editor in the browser.
If the user presses enter and their cursor is in the middle of a <p>, i want to insert a <br> tag. If their cursor is at the end of the <p> tag's innerHTML, then i want to insert a new <p> tag.
I can insert both tags as I need, but I can't find a way to get the position of the cursor relative to its containing tag (just assuming there's no other markup in the <p>'s innerHTML, so that selection.parentElement() will return the <p> tag).
This is working in IE, but can I get some help with firefox?
var IE = document.all?true:false;
// Temporary variables to hold mouse x-y pos.s
var tempX = 0;
var tempY = 0;
var windowPos = dd.elements["popupWindow"];
// Main function to retrieve mouse x-y pos.s
if (IE) { // grab the x-y pos.s if browser is IE
tempX = event.clientX + document.body.scrollLeft + 20;
tempY = event.clientY + document.body.scrollTop - 32;
windowPos.moveTo(tempX, tempY);
}else{
//
}
I am facing a weird problems which is i am fail to get cursor position at DIV at IE8 but work at IE7 or IE6.

The functionality I am looking for...
Excel provides data entry help based on previous entries i.e. if in a previous cell in a column I entered "Jim Bob" then the next cell I type a "J" Excel provides help by showing "Jim Bob" in a way that allows me to pick it or keep typing. This is the kind of functionality I am trying to get using JS.
In the code below I create an array of previous entries by the user over the last 45 days this all comes from a DB but that's not important here. When the user enters a key in the textbox I can pop the text box with a matching value from the array, only up to the chars entered.
The Problem or Question:
Is there a way to place the curser back into the last position and highlight the remaining part of the match from the array?
This is really hard to explain but if you ever used Excel you may have an idea of what I am trying to do. Code:
How do I set the cursor position in a TEXTAREA? I need a function that is supported by most browsers (like IE, Firefox, and Safari).
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a function sort of like the ctrl+f function in IE, where you click 'next' and certain words on the page are highlighted (by selecting them with the cursor). This is all well and good for inputs and textareas, however for text in simple text nodes...
Code:
<span class=highlight> bob </span>
I can't get this to work - as 'createTextRange()' isn't a valid operation on text nodes. Is this something you can do in JS (specifically IE)? Alternatively, is it possible to 'focus' on a text node, causing the scrollbar to move so the user can see it on the page (and I'd highlight it with CSS, to replicate the same effect)?
Is there a way to read a position of the cursor in the textarea window form?

I have a problem with currency formatter function I made. On onkeyup's
method of a textfield I add function below:
<snip>
function formatCurrency(elm) {
var str=elm.value;
var re = /(-?d+)(d{3})(,d*)?/
var re1 = /./g
str = str.replace(re1,'')
arr = str.split(',')
str = arr[0]
while (re.test(str))
str = str.replace(re, '$1.$2$3')
str += (arr.length 1) ? (',' + arr[1]) : ''
elm.value = str
}
</snip>
It works as I expected, except that after the function finished its
execution the cursor moves to the end of the textfield. So if I want
to insert two or more characters, the rest of it goes to the end of
textfield.
How I determine the position of the cursor in the textfield before
executing the regex?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am working on inserting a new selection into a form which uses Javascript to calculate totals. Here is the code for the top of the page:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function MM_findObj(n, d) { //v4.01
var p,i,x; if(!d) d=document; if((p=n.indexOf("?"))>0&&parent.frames.length) {
d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document; n=n.substring(0,p);}
if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n]; for (i=0;!x&&i<d.forms.length;i++) x=d.forms[i][n];
for(i=0;!x&&d.layers&&i<d.layers.length;i++) x=MM_findObj(n,d.layers[i].document);
if(!x && d.getElementById) x=d.getElementById(n); return x;
}function KW_getVal(o){ //v1.2 .....
Here is the code contained within the form:
Code:
<tr><td><span class="item_title"Logo Sticker</span> (min. order 100) <img src="images/0_pic.gif" border="0" onclick="MM_openBrWindow('images/orderform/ogo_sticker.gif','','scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=400,height=550')" /> </td>
<td width="178">$4.00<br />per 100</td>
<td ><select name="Logo_Decals_MEMB_A0_006" id="cpa_logo_stickers" onchange="Calc(this.form);">
<option value="0"> </option>
<option value="100">100</option> .....
I know that this is not the proper code, it is copied from another form that uses a different Javascript. What code would I need to insert to make it work here?
I have a sample of working code that is used for an item which costs $1.00 and has no drop down selector:
Code:
<tr>
<td><span class="item_title-blue">Envelope - Individual</span> <img src="images/0_pic.gif" alt="Click to See Picture of Item" border="0" onclick="MM_openBrWindow('images/orderform/env.jpg','','scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=408,height=547')" /></td>
<td align="center" valign="middle">$1.00 </td>
<td align="center" ><p>
<input name="Envelope" type="text" id="FormsEditField224" onchange="KW_calcForm('Envelope Total',100,2,'#Envelope','*','1')" value="" size="4" maxlength="4" />
<label><div align="left">
</label></td><td align="center"><p>
<input id="FormsEditField225" type="text" name="Envelope Total" value="" size="9" maxlength="10" onfocus="this.blur()"/>
</p></td></tr><tr>
The above code does run correctly, I just need it to be for a 4.00 per 100 drop down list as demonstrated before.
In IE it is a simple matter of: range.text += text; but I am having great difficulty figuring it out for FF.I have looked online for hours but the only solutions that I can find are to do with inserting text into textareas which supply you with nice 'selectionStart', 'selectionEnd' properties. Using a textarea would be useless for my purposes and a div element does not have such properties. An implementation in this case I am thinking would rely solely on the range object for the necesary selection / cursor position information, but I cannot figure out how to do this using the FF/W3C Range object.What I'm basically doing is trying to enable the user to paste unformatted (plain) text into a contenteditable zone for a WYSIWYG editor. I have got it working in IE, but FF is a whole other kettle of fish for this particular issue.
