Getting Content Of A Textarea With AJAX

Jan 22, 2009

I'm trying to achieve something that I originally thought would be very simple, but I can't get it working....and even googling hasn't helped this time! All I want to do is update the innerHTML of a div with the content of a textarea object when a button is clicked. I'm trying to avoid having to post the form using AJAX because the button also replaces the innerHTML of a different div with the value of a text input box. Here is the code I've tried, but it doesn't work:

Code:

function previewContent(intContentId) {
var titleText = document.getElementById('edit_title_' + intContentId);
var titleDiv = document.getElementById('content_title_' + intContentId);

[Code]....

In this example, the titleText var represents the text input box, and the contentText var is the textarea. The titleDiv gets correctly updated with the current value of the input box, but the contentDiv doesn't seem to consider any changes I make within the textarea - it just loads the original content. This seems very strange to me. Is there an easy way to retrieve the value of the textarea?

JQuery :: Populating Div With Textarea Content?

Apr 4, 2011

I am trying to populate a preview div with the content of a textarea. I have 2 textareas on the page. One with ID compose and another with ID profile_signature. Each has its own preview button named respectivly #profile_sig_preview and #msg_preview. however no matter which button is clicked the div is always populated with the content of the first textarea ie profile_signature. I tired setting up 2 divs so the content could be seperated but that did the same thing.

$j('#preview_msg_btn').click(function(){
$j('#preview').html($j('textarea#compose').val());
alert($j('textarea#compose').val());

[Code]....

as you can see iam alerting out both textareas html content and the alert shows the content fine. Just not the div.

Display Textarea Content Elsewhere On The Same Page?

Nov 23, 2010

I have a simple how to question and I'm fairly sure the answer is equally simple, however I'm new to web developing and searching the web didn't help me any further either. Maybe the question hasn't been raised because the answer is too obvious?

Anyway: I want to have one classic textarea/textbox with a submit button, such that when some one enters text in this area and hits the submit button, this same text is displayed elsewhere on the page (this may be displayed in a second textarea as long as I can hide its area borders so it looks as if the text gets displayed on the page itself). Preferably, the input text in the first area should be pretty standard, but the displayed content should be larger and in a different font.

I've just found out that a piece of code is not working as expected in certain browsers - but the way in which it goes wrong is not consistent, so maybe it's something wrong with my code.Oddly enough, it works exactly as I was expecting when viewed in IE.Here's the code...

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>

Ajax :: Getting The Value Of Textarea?

Sep 12, 2011

I'm having some issues with getting the value of a textarea which I fetch with jquery's ajax function.I'm displaying some comments in my ajaxcontent. All the comments have a onClick quoting link which is supposed to send the id of the textarea which is to be quoted.

<a href="JavaScript:void(0);" onclick="JavaScript:quote('x','y','z');">Quote</a>

Where 'x' = The ID of the textarea which contains the text that's being quoted

'y' = username of the user being quoted

'z' = ID of the textarea of which the quoted text is supposed to inserted into.

JQuery :: Textarea/Textbox Html Content Encoding To Satisfy .Net 4.0 Validation Test

Sep 19, 2011

I have web form (not MVC) that has bunch of textarea and textboxes where user can input HTML markup. For example, a textarea is provided so users can put YouTube embed iframe html tag where it will be shown on their profile. The problem is that asp.net 4.0 http request validation doesn't like things like ">" or "<", etc. I can put pagevalidation="false" on the page and/or revert back to .net 2.0 validation but why would I want to do that since I have geniuses like you guys that can show me how to do what I want with jquery without jeopardizing security.

So what I want to do is form a handler so when the form is submitted, the content of the textboxes and textarea on the page be encoded (i.e. > to > etc.) before the submission to the asp.net 4.0 so we can keep the httprequest validation stuff happy. I have added a class "mustEncode" to each of the textarea and textboxes.

JQuery :: Ajax Process A Textarea?

May 4, 2010

I have a form with a textarea that can hold a lot of values. When submitted, a php-script takes over and processes the textarea line by line. When a lot of values is submitted, it can be time-consuming for the php-script, causing the webserver to timeout.

I would like jquery/ajax to send one or a few lines of the textarea to the php-script at a time, hence feeding the php-script with a lot of smaller requests instead of one massive one. Kind of like an upload form with a progress bar, but for textarea values instead of file submition.

I have looked around and failed to find any examples or tutorials on this, and since I'm not very experienced in javascript I would really need it.

So again, the javascript would check the textarea-field when user submits the form, and send one or five values from the field at a time to a remote php-script. In the meantime the user can be presented with a "loading..."-image or a progress bar.

Keep Focus On Textarea In AJAX Chat

Jun 9, 2006

I have created a simple AJAX chat that polls the server every 2 seconds for new messages. The messages are displayed in a div layer, and the user types new messages in a textarea, the only problem is that when a new message appears it takes the focus from the textarea so you have to keep clicking back in the textarea to keep typing. Does anyone know how I can solve this?

JQuery :: Get Value From An AJAX Generated Input/textarea?

Sep 28, 2009

I guess the title says it all. I've generated two checkboxes and two textareas via an ajax requst. When I later on call anoter function I want to get the valus from the textareas and to know if weather the checkboxes are checked or not. But that seem impossible to be as you seem not to be able to select an element generated after the page load, or am I wrong ?

AJAX :: Textarea Word Not Appearing In Url Through It / Solution For This?

Feb 4, 2009

I used AJAX in this link code...

You have to go open the navigation box on the top left (sorry I have to simplify this in the future!) and then click the third link Compare Two Bible Texts. Once you enter a word in the first textarea and select the book, chapter, and verse it doesn't record it in the textbox underneath the verse dropdown select.

Can I Use AJAX/JS To Load Content?

Sep 7, 2007

It's an about us page but there's a lot of content. My client wants me to break each section up into a different page.

So I've built an 'about us' menu in my sidebar, and I want to pull the applicable content into the content area of the template when a button is clicked without the page re-loading. Ideally the content should be pulled from external files to make updates easier.

I'm sure there's an easy AJAX/JS solution out there, but I'm not sure where to find one.
