JQuery :: Get Cursor/caret In An Editable Content <div>?
Apr 6, 2010
Does jQuery provide an abstraction for getting and setting the cursor for editable content div's? And if not, any assistance on how to do this? I really just want to pass the "id" and a cursor value to set it... or just the id to get the cursor value. Basically, I'd really like a high-level interface because trying to get it to work on Firefox alone is a massive pain :(
The fundamental problem is this:
If you have a div that contains text and other html elements, if the user's selection encompasses text and html, it won't do anything. I don't even think it registers.
Even when you do get a selection though, we can only find the cursor value within that range. So if there's html elements that are siblings to the left of it, the number of positions isn't accounted for.
I was I could just "get the selection information" and "store the selection information". When I try that, it still doesn't work :/

I've been able to find for an editable HTML textarea for a WYSIWYG editor. It can save and restore the caret position. It works on FF3.5+, IE8, but does not work on Opera 11, Safari 5, or Chrome 10. Any ideas why? I'm just trying to find some code that works on FF3+, opera 10+, safari 5, chrome 8+, and IE7+.

I'm using an HTML page with one section having editable content. Nothing overly complicated. All other execCommands are working fine, but I cannot get Paste to work. The function is called from this button:
And, here's the Javascript function:
When I use the Copy or Cut buttons the selected text is loaded into the clipboard. If I press Ctrl+V to paste, it works fine. But clicking the Paste button either has no visible effect (if no text is selected) or just deletes any selected text. I've used the Paste command before from VB without any problem, but it's been awhile since I've used JS.

I'm trying to implement is a table with editable rows and columns that will feed back into a database. If I could do it with AJAX that would be great too, but I'm not too familiar with javascript. I don't need the code, I need more of an idea. The HTML Table is currently a recreation of the MySQL table minus a few columns. Its all in text, but if I could make the text editable, or better yet, make the text turn into input boxes it would be really cool. I'm not really sure what kind of methods and properties I would need, or quite how to put it all together. What do you think is the best way to go about the entire project?

I'm using a div with contenteditable=true, and I need to know where the caret is for operations like splitting the html contents of that div where the caret is. Ultimately, if a piece of text is selected, I'll want to split that html content on the selection start / end.jCaret only seems to work for textareas.Is this possible in a div?

in a DHTML Editing control (MSIE), I need to "extend" the caret to the
nearest text character in order to obtain a text selection (and than a
textRange object with the createRange method).
This is needed because I have a set of functions doing operations
within the edit control's rich text. But all the functions need to
start from a selected text (for example, adding a table row). My aim is
to get the things work also if no text is selected from the user. But I
could not find a way to have a selected text starting from the simple
cursor position.

I have a contenteditable div, it has some paragraphs in it.Assuming a situation, when I click the button "set caret position", the main div will focus, the caret will start at position number 8 of second paragraph, which means the caret will appear after the word "draw".How would you do it?

I would like to determine where the current insertion point is in a text field.
Say I had a text field that held 80 characters. I would like to display to the
user the current position of the insertion point at any point in the field.
I have found the TextRange object and have found examples of how to insert text
at a particular location. I have not been able to find a way to return a
number depicting the current location of the cursor.

I have a contentEditable element, and am using setTimeout() to call a function which changes the innerHTML of the div. Problem is that changing innerHTML moves the caret to the end of the text.
I need to keep the caret pos so the user can keep typing. I tried storing the caret pos with
cursorPos=document.selection.createRange().duplicate();
And then later restoring it with cursorPos.select() - which is IE only, but it doesn't work because the content of the div gets changed between calls, and the behavior is undefined (it basically selects everything) ...

The code below calculates Total = (Quantity_01)*10.00 + (Quantity_02)*5.00, and displays the Total in a TextBox called "result": document.myForm.result.value = Total.toFixed(2);
I don't want and don't need "result" (Total) to be an editable input TextBox, like it is now. I would like it to be something like a label, non-editable. I played around with "writeln" and <LABEL> but actually I don't know how to combine them with document.myForm.result.value = Total.toFixed(2);.
I just want the Total not to be editable. Code:

I have an editable Iframe control that I am using to allow users to
input formated text into a database for later viewing. One feature I
am toying with is the ability to vertically align their text. The idea
is to have a button for TOP, MIDDLE, and BOTTOM in which each will move
the text to the desired location within the box. So far I have tried
two ways to accomplish this. One is with a DIV around the text and
when the button is clicked it moves the DIV based on how high the DIV
has become. The other way I have attempted this is with a TABLE which
covers the entire iframe. When the buttons are clicked the appropriate
location is set in the cells valign property.
With the DIV attempt the body of the iframe has contentEditable turned
off and the DIV turned on. This would restrict the user from typing
outside of the DIV. The problem is that when the user clicks on the
iframe but outside of the DIV the cursor is gone. The user could also
hit ctrl-a on the keyboard to select all and eventually delete the DIV.
With the TABLE attempt the body of the iframe has contentEditable
turned on sice the TABLE seemed to not have that property. With the
body being off the table couldnt be edited. The problem here is that
the user can now type outside of the table and also delete the table
much easer than the DIV.
