JQuery :: Can't Read Text From A Textarea - From A Phone Browser
Oct 21, 2010
Ive created this simple test page with a textarea, a div, and a button. And then this code:
function copytext() {
var temp= $('#TextArea').text();
$('#emptydiv').append(temp);
}
Now in a normal browser (IE, firefox), when i type something in the field, and push the button, the text appends and shows - exactly as it should.
But on a phone (I´ve tried with Iphone and htc), nothing happens. It wont copy the text. I´m using jquery for alot of other stuff on the mobile page which works just fine.
I need to include an alternate CSS style sheet if the viewer is using a phone. Right now, I have the code to test for an iphone, but I think I need to test for any phone. Anyway, the script stylesheet isn't being included with the code I am using.
Code: <script language="javascript"> if (navigator.userAgent && (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("iPhone") > -1)) {
1) Does ajax ever come into play with (ClientSide) javascript ? 2) I would like to read a txt file into a TextArea. Example? 3) I would like to save or saveas from TextArea. Example?
I have a phone number field on my form that needs validation, but I'm not sure how to code this. I have the following function to validate a first name is entered and last name. The phone number field must match a 7 digit or 10 digit(with area code)phone number. I want to be able to include paranthese and/or hyphens for the valid phone number.
function checkForm1() { if (document.forms[0].firstname.value.length == 0) { alert("You must put in a first name");
I have a textarea element, and a link action to empty the textarea.
$('.area').empty();
Normally it works fine. But after a ajax call to send the textarea value, the empty() stops working. I also tried text(), html(), none of them are working. The original text in the textarea still stays there. I have no way changing its value. My guess is firefox caches it or something.
The following is a simple form with text boxes..Used java script to check for nulls but how to check my phone number for only integer values ie numbers
i am trying to make my custom made combobox with using jquery and ul li menus. So when mouse clicked to the li element i have to read its value and set its parent to the clicked element value etc. Basic selecting method. So how can i read the clicked li element value and set that value to the parent of it. Here my structure.
I want to read clicked li element text not other one i tried var htmlStr = $(this).text;
I have a bar which dropdownbox so transparant, in a way that I could hardly read its text because its overlap my content text and pictures.
But its order superseed the side bar box. I could clearly read its text on the side but hardly read its text on the middle. I am using jquery which I copy from a tutorial video.
What might be the problem? I would like the text could be clearly read in the navigation bar in order word it suppose to be above the content text when I open the navigation drop down box.
The ideal solution would be not to use a script and just use:
onkeypress="return(this.value.length<20)"
However, that only works in IE and Netscape - Opera completely ignores it.
To keep it simple and work in all browsers (at least the ones I have, that is!), that was the easiest solution I could come up with. This script was tested in Opera 6, Netscape 4.x, IE 4-6 on PC, and IE 4(I think) on MAC. If you have the opportunity to test it out in another browser, please let me know the results (good or bad).
In Opera, it will not limit the textarea until the onblur() kicks in. In Opera AND Netscape, you can paste past the maxlength of the textarea, which is corrected when the onblur() kicks in.
Every single other script of its type that I've tried will produce unexpected and sometimes very amusing results (like typing backwards) in those browsers.
I have a webpage I've been working on and it utilizes jQuery Autoscroll. You can view it here [URL]
I'm having a problem and I can't figure it out.
I have a text area. I can put text into it and it will scroll. However, when I go to File>new window to create a new identical but separate webpage the text which I just typed into the autotext area doesn't get copied over. Everything else does. Why is that? How can I fix it so that it will copy over.
Is this a JQuery issue or is it more of an html issues.
I am trying to take text that is in a <DIV></DIV> and insert it into a <TEXTAREA> tag. in CHROME the line breaks are preserved however in IE I lose all my line breaks.
$("#serviceEdit-notes").val($(this).next().html()); #serviceEdit-notes : the TEXTAREA $(this) is a 'A' linkprecedingthe DIV
Like I said, it works in CHROME, but in IE(8 or 9) I lose my line breaks.
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'm having a problem. What I'm basically trying to accomplish is a quote function on a forum. When I click the quote button, I want the text for that specific forum post to end up in the textarea field.
<textarea cols='1' rows='1' title='Reply to this post' id='entryField' name='entryField' style="width: 100%;" class='expand20-200'>
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.
[URL]..I want to wrap some html code to user's selected text inside the textarea, I tried the code in above url but it seems not work in IE, is there a plugin of any way to make it work?
Is it possible to read text from a file and then place it into a div using javascript. I read something on the Internet that I would need to have a server side language such as php or perl to do that. Is that true and if so why is that.
I have a grammar check on the server that can grammar check text... big surprise there. It'll return a list of match problems, along with the positions in the text that are flawed. It'll also send the grammar rule that was broken in plain english, to help someone fix it.
So we have a list of these basically:
What I'd like to do is apply different styles to the text inside of the <textarea> for all these positions (5 to 10 in the case above, but I'm going to have a list of these).
I also want to make it so if a user hovers on top one of these problems, I can show a tooltip that contains the "message" property.
I have a form that, during submission to another page, uses the submitted text field data and creates a cookie. But how would I do that with a radio button/checkbox field or pulldown? Just fyi, the code is created using onsubmit() and processes this before the response page.
All demos I see are for self submitting (same page) scripts. Not for those going from form.php to response.php and I cannot use this type of submission and find a value for a NON text field. I need to recognize non text fields since I want to create cookies for all form fields, not just text fields.
The code I have, to read the value of a text field is here: var email = document.myform.email.value.split(' ')[0];
I just want to have something similar to above, using 'myform' as the form name, but able to get the value for any *non text field*
is this possible? The rest of the code I won't post as it isn't relevant. I just need to read a value of a non text field and I can work with that.
Is there a way for JavaScript to read a text file from a server? Any APIs in HTML5 letting you do that? I would like to build a WebGL object viewer but the files should be read from the server.
I am using ActiveXObject to read a text file using javascrilpt, it is working in IE but when i use in other browsers, it is not working. Code which I have written: var fText; var location = "D:\a.txt"; var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"); var tempFile = fso.OpenTextFile(location, 1); while(tempFile.AtEndOfStream!=true) { fText = tempFile.ReadLine(); } The above code is working in IE but not working in other browsers.
