Get The Start And End Index Of Selected Text
Jan 28, 2010
I require to highlight the text on the webpage. For that I am using document.getSelection() function to get the selected text and then replace the text with the highlighted text. It works fine but have some problem with that.
If user has selected a single word rather then a long text to highlight, and if it's a common word, It will find many words in the text and will highlight the first word it encounters no matter user has selected it or not.
So I need to have a function that returns me the start and end index of the selected text from the html text.

OK so say I have something like this:
<TD>
<p>Item A</p>
<p>Item B</p>
<p>Item C</p>
<p>Item D</p>
</TD>
So TD would be the parent and all of the <P>'s would be childNodes. I want to be able to click on each child and have it alert me its index # relative to the parent node. So 'Item A' should alert "0", 'Item B' - "1", 'Item C' - "2", etc.

I'm assuming it's possible to change the selected option of SELECT box with JavaScript based on the value and not index, but my searches have turned up nothing that seem to address this. It may be my searching terms, but if someone knows how to do this, could you post some code samples?

I'm attempting to physically change the index order of the elements returned by a selector.For example, I'm attempting to make it so when someone clicks on a button, it swaps the index position of the element above or below it (depending on which button they press).I tried to assign it using something like $('.draggable :eq(2)').attr('index', 3)But it didn't seem to work. Is there a way to do it using jQuery, or do I have to change it within DOM itself? Or is there another way to do it?

I am trying to grab all text between <START> and <END> and have the following bits of code, but neither are returning anything. I use JS so rarely that I can't see where the problems are -
var ermtext = response.match(/<START>(.*?)<END>/i);
if (ermtext) {
result.ermtext = ermtext.replace("$1");

Code:
<style>
body
{
/*Remove below line to make bgimage NOT fixed*/
background-color:black;
background-attachment:fixed;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
[Code]...
when i run it, i have to wait the 9000 timer to c the first image, and i need the page to start with an image and then start the rotation, i have assigned background-image by css, and tried also to use document.body.background, but when i do this the rotator doesnt work.

I am trying to wrap <a> tags around text in <li> elements. How can I get the index of the <li> in the <ul>? I tried something like this: $('.tabbed-list li').wrapInner('<a></a>'); That works fine. However, I want to do something like this: $(this).wrapInner('<a href="#' + $(this).index() + '"></a>');

I tried posting the code but it's too long Page address: [URl]... Click first or second photo, pops up fine, bottom text is behind the photo. You can view the JS by viewing source etc, sorry I can't fit it here.
I spent 2-3 hours trying to figure out the problem but I'm new to JS and it looks like pretty convoluted code I'm using (obviously didn't write it myself, it's by "PopBox.")

I'm trying to 'wrap tags' around text in a text box.
<script language=javascript>
function insertFauxTags(fauxTag, e, endFauxTag)
{
var e = document.frmAddNewForum.txtTopicMessage.selected;
document.frmAddNewForum.txtTopicMessage.Value += fauxTag + e + endFauxTag;
}
</script>
And my form:
<form runat="server" id="frmAddNewForum">
<asp:textbox id="txtTopicMessage" runat="server" cssclass="formtext" rows="5" textmode="MultiLine" width="95%" style="width:95%"></asp:textbox>
</form>
And here's how I'm calling the function:
<a href="javascript:insertFauxTags('[p]' + e + '[/p]')"><img src="http://www.<%=strSiteName%>/images/parabutton.gif" border="0" alt="Paragraph" /></a>
When I run this in FF I get 'e' is not defined - any ideas?

Is there a way to tell if the text in a text box has been selected forwards or backwards?If you select some text from left to right and then hold down shift and use the cursor keys the right end of the selection moves. If you select some text from right to left and then hold down shift and use the cursor keys the left end of the selection moves.Is there a way in Javascript to detect which way the text has been selected? I need to know if the "end" position is before the "start" position or after. Using ranges and selection objects seems to "normalise" the selection so that the start is before the end.

I am trying to get the index of a li with a specific class. I know I'm selecting the right object because I can apply a CSS class to it (eg change border colour) but when I try to get the index it returns -1. But I know the object exists as I can alter it. :-s
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
var active = $("#tertiarynavigation .bordered").get(0);
var num = $("#tertiarynavigation li").index(active);
alert("Index: " + num);

im searching for a plugin/code example for text scrolling. I got some text in a <div> if text is longer than for example 300px it gets cut and is scrolling from start to end, stops for a second and then scrolls back, stops and all over, and if its not long enough than 300px then just displays normaly. Something similar to the Song name scrolling inin anyMP3 player.
