How Does Gmail Change TextArea During Spell Check?
Jul 23, 2005
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 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.
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'm using a text area to display textual updates to a user from the server. I'm inserting the text at the bottom of the textarea and need to set the scrollbar to the bottom of the textarea after every update. The problem is that the onChange event only fires if the user actually changes something in the text area, not if it is changed by an ajax update.Does anyone know of a way to detect if there has been an update to a textarea that was NOT triggered by a user?
is there any way to check if any textarea or textfield exists in current document fg function checkifexist(){ if any textarea or textfield exist return true else return false }
I think I have what is a simple question: I would like a checkbox to be checked if it is not already when a user types in the text area beside it. Form layout is demo'd below.
<table> <tr> <td><input type="checkbox" name="box[1]" value = "x"></td> <td><textarea name="area[1]">
I am at a stand still with trying to figure this out. I have a textarea, i would like to check for links entered by users and replace/remove the anchor attribute from the string. ie. change [URL] to website its more so to validate ( i have a php side working to validate for links but am trying to get jquery to just remove it and maybe say a warning.
I would like to disable a feature on my site if someone is in a textarea or input text field. Yet I can't seem to figure out how to check for this... Could someone give me an example of how I can determine if a user does not have a text input or textarea selected? Can't seem to get anything I found via google working.
I am trying to detect whether a user entered text in a textarea or hit the delete/backspace button (thus, erasing something). Once that is detected, I would like to set "var bSaveRequired = true;". It would be great if this function worked cross-browser -- IE 6.0 and Firefox.
i wants to change one input to texarea when i select one from radio, plz any suggestion how i would do that?so when i click inputtext radio name"other" will become a textrea rather then input type text.
I've been trying to change the text in a textarea element to no avail. I'm using the following to change the text:
$(inlineEditor.CurrentEditCollection).find('#resource_description').each(function(){ this.val(vals.value); }); vals.value contains the text. The Textarea element is in a TD in a TR that is contained in inlineEditor.CurrentEditCollection
The selector seems to find the element just fine but the text will not change.
I would like to be able to change the "wrap" attribute for a textarea with javascript. That is unless you can provide a cross browser solution in css2, giving me the ability to just modify the css attributes.
I want a set up some type of array/ IF statement within a textarea.
This is what i want it to do...
If textarea text = "[example]" then change colour of font #383838
I need it as a basic validation method to ensure the user has typed in the correct text. for example if the member uses { in stead of [ it will not turn a different colour and the user ill no they have not typed it in correct.
I presumed there would be some JQuery code out there that would enable this but I can't find it. ( or even know what search term to use )
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.
