I am trying to make a bookmarklet to enlarge textarea in Gmail. But I
can't get to the textarea.
When you are composing a message in Gmail, the page has two frames. the
first frame has name "main". That frame contains a textarea named
"msgbody" in which you compose messages.
I have tried with Firebug getElementsByTagName and getElementsByName
but all fails.
self.main.document.getElementsByTagName('textarea' ) returns empty list.
self.main.document.getElementsByName('msgbody') also returns empty
list.
I suspect that it is because the textarea is buried deep in the DOM
tree.
The dom path from the main frame to the textarea is:
/html/body/table/tbody/tr[2]/td[2]/form/table/tbody/tr[5]/td/div[3]/table/tbody/tr[2]/td[2]/textarea
However the dom path from the main frame to the first div element is
/html/body/div
and self.main.document.getElementsByTagName('div') returns a nonempty
list.
If you've used the Google Gmail spell checker you know that it 'changes' the text area to another type of control that lets them show hyperlinks for the incorrect words. How does Google change the textarea? And what do they change it to? I know it should be pretty simple, I just have no clue because I'm fairly new to DHTML. Any examples would be greatly appreciated.
I have problem with event listening in CKEditor. I searched these forums for answer, but I didnt found it. I need someting like "onkeypress" on textarea for CKEditor. If I think well, I can must use "DOM" of CKEditor, because it is not simple textarea - but I am lost here. I really dont know how to do it. I need simple draft saver - onkeypress will launch a function which will check if timer is on. If yes, return false. If no, use ajax to save content of textarea.
Just curious, what techniques does gmail leverage to hide the javascript code that their service uses to work? I've tried View Source here and there in the page without much luck.
I have no interest (you have to trust me on this one) of hacking it or anything, I'm just curious.
I am making a website and in it i want to provide dynamic floating menu bar like Gmail(current one). I have searched over internet for it but there i found menu bar whose co-ordinates are fixed. I mean if menu bar is on center of page and you scroll page a very little then menu will also scroll but in gmail it is different. When menu bar comes to top of page only then menu bar scrolls along with the page.
I am creating a website which doesn't have any server. I need to create a Contact Us form. But now as there is no server so i cannot email this information using server side code. Is there a way by which I can send this information by using any free email server (like gmail)?
I have some problems with my gmail's account. When I'm trying access to spam site or trash site, the gmail say me that:
[Aplication Javascript] The system was unable to perform your operation. Please try again in a few seconds.
I have this problem since yesterday. I have proved with anothers browsers but They no working too. I have proved with another account and another account working very well so I know that my problem is in my account.
I am trying to integrate a chat server with another shopping cart. In the process, I need to automatically pop up a chat window when a user gets a message from another user. This is like the way gmail chat works.
I'm trying to setup a mail merge using a gmail docs script from [url]. So far, it works pretty well, but I want to edit it to include the following:
1) The script should start with "Dear Noah" as opposed to "Dear Noah_Kaplan"
2) I want to add my canned response to the script so that it always appears at the bottom of the e-mail.
3) Lastly, I want the outgoing mail to be saved as individual drafts in my drafts folder in gmail before it's sent out. That way, I can decide if I want to add a sentence or two to personalize each individual email draft.
I'd like to write a HTML page which can help me directly log in my Yahoo!mail or Gmail account without typing user name and password. Basically, I want to set up a link, click it and pop up the Yahoo/Gmail page.
What technology is most appropriate for this kind of work?
My current solution is not so satisfying: I download Yahoo!Mail page and save it to local file; then using Javascript to load that file and set up user name, password, submit it to Yahoo.
This works with Yahoo, but not Gmail. I haven't got time to investigate why.
The thing I hate about this solution is: for every email provider, I need to download their page and write corresponding page to access/modify it.
in Gmail (I've noticed it in other services too..)after you log in, progress bar appears. What does it do? Uploads all the JS(containing ajax) files into client's machine? or what?
would like to have a form like this one where a user cannot enter gmail, yahoo or hotmail addresses in the email filed.Have managed to make it work using this code:
I am building a firefox plugin which customizes Google Mail. I want a feature in it to automatically send email by a event raised by my plugin. This feature is required when I am on compose page but I don't want the user to hit the Send button.
How would i change back to the default length of textarea?
I have this comment area that after clicking submit i will append the new comment in the list of comments through ajax... i got one problem though, everything is working perfectly well except for the textarea that won't change back to it's default size...
EXAMPLE:
The problem is that the textareawon't change back to it's default size // let's say that the default size is rows=3
I've got this little 'textarea' script..see the code below. Now there is something strange with it. When I disable javascript from within IE 6.0, it still seems to function well... how come ?
Also I would like to build in one thing extra.. Whenever one of the buttons B or C is pressed there is a tag placed within the textarea, like it should. However I don't want the tags to be counted up to the textcount total. What do I need to adjust in the code to achieve that ? Code:
how to make a DIV into a textarea. I've noticed that Facebook does this and so does a lot of Google's stuff. Just looking to see how they pull that off.
really need some help with validating a textarea box. basically i have a text area box that must not have more the 910 characters entered and they must not be spread over more than 23 lines. I could check the total length but the problem is people could enter 1 character per line so you would end up with 910 lines.
Is there a way to detect which textarea the cursor is positioned in? I would not want to attach 'onkeypress' to all textareas to detect which one I am presently in ... or is this the only option?
I need to create a page that allows users to copy the contents of a MS Word document and paste them into a textarea. All fine and dandy...but the tabs. I don't need to keep the formatting, just the tabs. Is there any way to detect the tabs and change them to four spaces or something similar? If you have any other ideas please let me know.
I'm using a third party libray and I can drag a diveand resize it. The issue is, I have a textarea inside of it and I need to resize the width of textarea and height of textarea along with it.
I know what the width and height of the div will be when it finishes dragging (in "px"), so how do I convert the width and height in "px" to the cols and rows of a textarea?
I have a variable, divs, which contains the DIV's and divs[x] contains the actual DIV I need.
What is the best (or most robust) way to access the inner textarea - because I want to add some text to the textarea field. I know how to add the text but want to know best way to access the textarea.
