JQuery :: Wrapping Text With A Span In An Unordered Lists?
Aug 26, 2009
I've got an unordered lists. I need to make the numbers larger (ordered lists numbers) and keep the text in the list at the same size. So what I was assuming I need to do is make the <li> font-size larger (the size I want the unordered list number to be), then wrap the text with a <span> and make the <span> smaller. I'm using a CMS and since the client will be modifying the text in the CMS, I can't exactly tell them to put <span> text, blah, blah</span> in the unordered lists as they won't figure that out. So how would I write the jQuery to wrap the text in the unordered lists with a span? Currently the output is like so:
What I have is a dynamically created group of unordered lists. My jQuery code allows the user to "add" forms that essentially create a new unordered list per form. The first list item is displayed in a heading 2 tag strictly for the style formatting the h2 tag gives.
The user enters data in the forms which are then passed via url.data method to my action page. This is where my code loops(nested loop) through the lists, inserts the appropriate items in either the heading 2 tag or the rest of the list item tags. Then this(these) lists are saved in a temporary file and then called and displayed back by way of an include. The problem is I want these lists to be sorted alphabetically. I have a function that I am close to getting it working, but the problem I think is the fact that I have the special "first" list item within a heading tag.
Here is the function:
var items = []; $('li').each(function() { items.push($(this).text());
I have some code that creates form fields as needed, then the once the user inputs data the values are stored in my action page as an unordered list. The list is then displayed back on my page with an ajax call. All this works fine, but now I wanted and need to have the lists sorted alphabetically. I actually found a thread here and some code someone posted to do this. I thought at first it worked, but it seems to be if'y. Maybe it has to do with the order in which I might add an item to my form. I also wanted to sort by more than the first letter. When I thought, and Im pretty sure it was, working, it seemed it only sorted up to the first letter. Ex:
Let's say I have this paragraph..<p>My dog is brown.</p I would like to accomplish this.. <p>My <span class="animal">dog</span> is brown.</p> So, I want to use JavaScript to find all "dog" strings inside the paragraph and wrap them in a SPAN element of a given class. I would love to have a plug-in that does that... like this: $("p").findAndWrap("dog", "<span class='animal' />"); I know this can be done in JS, but I'm not particularlyexperiencedin JS string manipulation, so it would take a while until I would accomplish this...Is there a plug-in that does this?
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>
<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 am working on code to wrap BBCodes around a user selection, then leave the selection selected for possibly adding more BBCodes around the same selection.My problem is that there seems to be several different ways to do it and I can't figure out which one is "the best".Now, I can't use the "standard" way of doing this because I am working with TinyMCE. I know there are countless examples on how to do this with textareas... that is NOT what I need.TinyMCE can give me a selection RANGE, a selection NODE or a selection OBJECT. Note that if I use TinyMCE's range, it internally "normalizes" the range to be a standard W3C range, regardless of browser.I've created a new range, extracted the selection from the user's range, created elements for the open and close BBCode, inserted the elements into the range and finally set the user's selection to the new range. Works fine.
I also tried taking the selection node (which is an element), then simply used "innerHTML" to add the opening and closing tags, then set the node to the modified node. Works fine.I've also used the editor's built in "selection.getContent()" and "selection.setContent()" calls and THIS also works.I've even tried using the DOM "surroundContents()" function, then used a regex to change the < and > into [ and ]. Freaky... but that works too.So, my dilemma is... which method should I use???To recap, here's what I want (blue represents selected text):
This is a test sentence. (user selected some text) This is a test sentence. (text is wrapped and remains selected). This is a test sentence. (user clicked another bbcode button).
I found this code on some web site which actually works on my current Safari browser. I will be grateful if anyone out there with IE version 8 or less can verify it working as well.
Basically I wanted to highlight some text with mouse drag, and have that piece of text wrapped with [high] at the beginning and [/high] at the end.
I am building an e-learning lesson in Lectora that will be deployed to a SCROM compatible learning management system. The lesson is converted into HTML before that happens. My table of contents is around 100 pixels wide but some of the page names are longer than that and do not display fully when viewed in a browser.What I am trying to do is this:The page name for this page is very, very long and I can't see it all. Blah blahWould becomeThe page name for this page is very,
I've got a form with a textarea box, currently you can just type a message in the box and submit it, then it is added to a mysql database and shows up on a page I made for people to view staff memos.
I've been asked to add formatting options like bold, italic, underline etc. Unfortunately me and javascript have never really met so I'm quite stumped. I can handle the form processing with PHP converting [b] to <strong> etc myself but I need help with the actual user interface.
I am trying to truncate some text within a 'span' in order to create a 'more/less' button to show/hide the additional. I effectively want to turn this:
I've recently seen the following web app and I'm curious as to how they've been able to put items within the 'To' textbox. If you type a random name in the 'To' box and press enter it adds that as an item and then allows you to add more or even remove what's already there.
How have they done this and is there a name for this?
I have this script who will set a text to an existing or newly created <span>. When I executed the script, I can see ths <span> element to the source but the text never appear. Here is the last version of this script (the alert box is displayed but the "_message" is never dispalyed to the page):
var _message = response[inputId]; var $field = $(jqn('#'+inputId)); var $span = $(jqn('#'+inputId+'.errors'));
I currently have a script that extracts the text from an li using: $('li').text(); simply enough. But I have span within the li, and the text within the span is also being selected. Is there a way to remove the span text from the selection?
I'm working on a project with span's and event handlers.Basically what I need to do is be able to get the text from within a span when the user mouses over.I know how to set up the event handlers, that's all working fine, my issue is the actual extraction of the text. I've tried using .nodeValue and .TEXT_NODE but these keep coming back null.So is there a way to do something like: var text = document.etElementById ("example"). nodeText;and get a string of text?
In the following table segment, I have been trying to use DOM techniques to get the text values.For example in this line: (<span id="edit5_oname" >BOBBY</span>), I only want to get BOBBY. What's happing is if I use alert(x[2].innerHTML); it returns <span id="edit5_ownerid">8</span>.I have tryed various techniques like:
I have developed an website with drupal 7.10. I want this should be in bengali language. everything is ok but problem with numerical system. for example: date,time,points etc.
Now I have decided to add java code at the bottom of the theme. so that after loading the page javascript with replace those text. This replacement should be limited to some span not in all document.
The user enters the title of a movie in the text field. I'd like to mirror that title into a <span> so that users can search other sites based upon that title, gather the information and then put it into the current form on my site.
Code: <input type="text" name="title" value="" /> <a href="abc.com?title=<span>TEXT FIELD VALUE HERE</span>">search abc.com for this title</a>
What I want to know is if the span is something like 240px in width how can I make it so if the text inside the span tag is to long and puts the text onto a second line how can i make a cut off point in the text to stop the text moving to a new line and adding '...' if the text is to long??
