I am wanting to insert text into a text area when a button or link is clicked. I know how to replace the whole lot in the text area, but I want it to insert text where the flashing cursor is in the text box. (Like Wikipedia)

I have a page within which is an iframe, and within that iframs is a text area. I need to be able to insert text into that text area from the mother page. I have tried to insert it with the following code but it's not working :
<iframe src ="http://iframepage.com" id="myIframe">
<p>Your browser doesn't handle iframes</p>
</iframe>
<input type="button" value="Go" onclick="document.getElementById('myIframe').contentDocument.getElementById('textArea').value = 'test successful';">
Inside the iframe is this code for the text area :
<input class="text" size="50" name="area" id="textArea" value="" maxlength="255" onkeyup="checkconditions(this.value, this.name, this.type)" type="text">
I've also tried to insert it using this script :
<script>
function insertText() {
[code]....
But nothing works.
I need to a code to do the following.
There is a Text Area that user can enter text. assume that user enter something and put a dot Following values should be populate in a drop down at the place where dot locate .
like when we get the string object using Net Beans IDE and when we put "Object." , drop down will be displayed with available methods for that particular object. idea is to build a editor using java script.
I want to have several text links (not buttons) on a page and when someone clicks a link text appears explaining the link. If they click on a different link the text is replaced with the new text.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to get the text from a link <a href="">text_I_want_to_get_from_here</a> and insert it after into an input element <input type="text" name="want_to_have_here" value=""> by using jQuery.
I found something with $("#myid").html() to get this, but I am not sure how to use it, really tried but I am a freshman.
1. When I have the "<textarea>" code lines in it put a text-area on the page, but it puts all of the code following that first text-area line into the text-area box and doesn't execute that segment of code.
2. When there is no "<textarea>" (for the sake of seeing if the rest of it worked) it doesn't check the survey.
I'm stumped and can't figure out what to do at this point Code and pictures follow:

As of right now I have a code that will work in IE but wont work in FireFox...go figure. Basically what I want to have happen is when you type in an area code it will provide an output in a predetermined area of the page.
For Example:
Input- 512
Output - Austin, TX
The code that I have doesn't work with firefox and I was just wondering if there was a code that would allow that to happen.
Would u pls let me know whether the following is possible or not: User can be able to insert text on a text-box or text-area(form) as usually we use text-area to do so. But I want to put some readonly text using an open and close tag
for example: <ro>This is readonly text</ro>insert your text here Can I be able to make the text inside <ro>..</ro> tag readonly, it means user can't be able to modify or delete this readonly text. readonly text length not fixed. only way to recognize the readonly text is the <ro> tag.
I want to get the cursor start and end position of a selected range in a text-field or text-area. i tried lot of functions in various forums. but when the last character of the selection is a new line character JavaScript ignore it in IE6. any one having idea ?

The goal- the check box as default is unchecked and when checked validates a text area for text
CODE:
I have a form setup so that selecting a radio button opens a specific text field. The problem is if the user starts to enter information, then switches to a different radio button (perhaps they chose the wrong radio to start), the text they already started to enter on the previous textfield doesn't get cleared. This will be a problem later when inserting to sql.

Have a small problem with a cms whereby when i try to insert default text into an input text field using the "value" attribute it gets deleted. I was thinking to force insert the text in there when the page load with javascript but not sure exactly how...
<p><input name="vericode" id="vericode" value="This text doesn't display!!" type="text" onclick="value=''"/></p>
I am creating a small CMS module for a client. I created a little form and when they click Submit, it goes straight out into an include (.inc) file, which is connected to the web page to be displayed.
The trouble I am having is that I'd like to create an additional button that will insert some text (certain html tags to make their life easier, etc) - I got it to work, actually. The script executes and the text is inserted - but once the script runs and the page refreshes (or whatever it does), the text then disappears. The only way I can seem to get it to stay put is when I use "onmouseup" instead of "onclick" - which means that every time the user accidentally mouses over the thing, it inserts the text.
I've been following this tutorial (and it works great)URL...Just cannot figure out how to make one of the Text Fields a Text Area with cols="45" rows="5".Every combination I've tried turns off the validation. I've already added completely different text fields from what are shown in the tutorial so I know how to change up the javascript I just can't get the Text Area right.

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?
I have the user entering into a text area box but as they are typing into the text area I want it to replicate the first 250 charactors into an input (text) box.

I am trying to figure out how to move to the beginning of text boxes and text areas after the event call in a form. For the most part, I have two text boxes that don't have a maximum length and one text area that could span several lines of text. When the event call is made to fill out the remaining text boxes and update the text area (if necessary) I would like to have each of these elements display from the first character on instead of remaining where they were at when the entries were made.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI would like to hide some text from my user initially. Then when the user clicks 'Read More', those text will appear. I have some idea of how this can be done in JS but got stuck halfway
Can someone pls help me? How can I write (using JS) into the place where I want the text to appear?
For example:
Code:
I trying to but buttons for the users to write special characters to a text area in a form by clicking in a button.
<form name="form1" onSubmit="return (function1() && function2() &&
function3();">
<textarea name=t1> </textarea>
<input type=submit value="ƒ">
<input type=submit value="¼">
<input type=submit value="÷">
<input type=submit value="µ">
</form>
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
function functionName1() {
window.document.form1.t1.value = 'ƒ'
return false;
}
function functionName2() {
window.document.form1.t1.value = '¼'
return false;
}
function functionName3() {
window.document.form1.t1.value = '÷'
return false;
}
function functionName4() {
window.document.form1.t1.value = 'µ'
return false;
} //--></script>
Clicking on any button doesn't do anything but if I put just one button it works, can anyone suggest what did I do wrong?
