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've been trying to fix this.
Code below:
Im using this to add text to a textarea:[URL]
How do I append a character, to where the text cursor is, in a textarea?
I would like to do this so users could add special characters to their comments (like this one: ♥. this is my code:
<pre>
$("#special-char-1").click(function () {
var text = $(this).text();
$("#comment").val(text);
});
</pre>
I need to keep a log in a test application, so I'm using a textarea for that, and I'm appending text using the+= operator.Follows the trace function which fills the textarea:
window.trace = function(s) {
if ($('#enableLogCheckBox').attr("checked")) {
var logArea = $('#logArea')[0];
[code]....
I have an ajax form updater which is working absolutely fine for input type="text" fields using the change event to respond when the value has been updated.
$(".myInput").change(function() {
valueToPost = $(this).val();
// post valueToPost with $.ajax, works successfully
[code]....
Basically I want to get the current value from a textarea field and copy to a div element on the page. Here is my HTML:
<a href="#" class="desc-button">Edit</a>
<div class="product-data"><?php echo $prod_description; ?></div>
<form action="" method="post">
<div class="product-form" style="display:none;">
<textarea class="description" name="prod-desc">
I have a form with a textarea that can hold a lot of values. When submitted, a php-script takes over and processes the textarea line by line. When a lot of values is submitted, it can be time-consuming for the php-script, causing the webserver to timeout.
I would like jquery/ajax to send one or a few lines of the textarea to the php-script at a time, hence feeding the php-script with a lot of smaller requests instead of one massive one. Kind of like an upload form with a progress bar, but for textarea values instead of file submition.
I have looked around and failed to find any examples or tutorials on this, and since I'm not very experienced in javascript I would really need it.
So again, the javascript would check the textarea-field when user submits the form, and send one or five values from the field at a time to a remote php-script. In the meantime the user can be presented with a "loading..."-image or a progress bar.
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.
I have a dropdown menu as such:

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.
[URL]...lightweight text editor. I want to be able to submit without a page reload and I can't seem to figure out how to override whatever code the author created to disable the value of the text area field unless the form is formally submitted using the submit button. Additionally I don't seem to be able to attach any events to the submit button. I'm not sure you will be able to help me but thought it's worth a shot. Here's the form:

I need to count characters in textarea so I wrote sth like this:
$input.keyup(function() {
var new_length = $(this).val().length;
$word_counter.text(new_length);
if(new_length >= min && new_length <= max) {
[Code]....
But id doesn't work when I click the right mouse button on it and choose "Paste". Counter is not updated.
The thing I wanna do:
<input type="text" name="body" /> (with value cheese)
<input type="text" name="body" /> (with value car)
<input type="text" name="body" /> (with value food)
Put the value of those input fields (by a klik on a button or something), in 1 textarea, so it becomes like:
<textarea>cheese car food
I am trying to populate a preview div with the content of a textarea. I have 2 textareas on the page. One with ID compose and another with ID profile_signature. Each has its own preview button named respectivly #profile_sig_preview and #msg_preview. however no matter which button is clicked the div is always populated with the content of the first textarea ie profile_signature. I tired setting up 2 divs so the content could be seperated but that did the same thing.
$j('#preview_msg_btn').click(function(){
$j('#preview').html($j('textarea#compose').val());
alert($j('textarea#compose').val());
[Code]....
as you can see iam alerting out both textareas html content and the alert shows the content fine. Just not the div.
I have a textarea in a dialog and everytime I am resetting the textarea value before open the dialog.But on FF4 dialog value is not resetting. I checked the teaxtarea value from the Firebug and it is blank but still textarea conatins the previous value it had. If I reset the textarea from console the it works perfect.I didn't found any solution. At the end I am removing the textarea and re append it to the dialog when I am opening the dialog.

$(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 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 have a simple, three-field form that I am setting default values from within my jquery script. When a user clicks on a field the default values are removed, leaving that field blank for the user to type into.
The form accepts the default values from my jQuery script just fine. And when I click on the "to" and "from" fields, the default text is, in fact, removed. The problem is when I click on the textarea, the default value does not get removed.
Here is my html:
<form class="blogForm" name="blogForm">
<Input class="blogFormTo" type="text" name="email" />
<Input class="blogFormFrom" type="text" name="email" />
<textarea class="blogFormNote">
Simple question. How can I disable a textarea when a page is loaded(and re-enable it on a button click). I have tried several things with no luck. What I have tried is at the bottom. Here is mycode snippets:
Code to generate the text area
<%=Html.TextAreaFor(Function(model) model.NewestComment.Comment, 2, 60, New With {.id = "comment"})%>
JQuery Code I have tried to disable it....
<script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function() {
$(
"NewestComment.Comment").attr("disabled", "disabled");
I also tried....
$(
"comment").attr("disabled", "disabled"); Neither of which worked.
All expanding textarea plugins I've seen always insert an additional line at the very end. This signals the user that more text can be typed since there is more space (such as [URL]). But can anyone direct me to an expanding textarea plugin which doesn't add an extra space at the bottom? I want it to grow only to the exact number of lines which have been typed.
