JQuery :: Getting Caret Position In A Contenteditable Div?
Nov 16, 2010
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?

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 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) ...

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'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 creating a custom text box.that's an easy thing to do for me but I encounter some problems on the javascript part.in the onfocus event of the textbox I try to get the caret position on the start.it works perfect on FF, IE and opera but I just can't get it to work in safari and google chrome. I found out both browsers use webkit but have no idea how you do it for the 2 browsers.I'm using asp.net ajax components for javascript and this works for the 3 browsers get_inputElement() = my textbox

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 :/

Is it possible to make a SELECT box editable, where a user can type their own entry to be acted upon on top of being able to select an option of course?

Does a contentEditable DIV have the notion of an internal document? I'm trying to convert code that uses an IFrame.contentWindow.document to use the "document" inside a contentEditable DIV but they don't seem to be similar beasts. Eventually I want to add stylesheets to the contentEditable DIV as well as event handling. I'm porting an IFrame editor to a contentEditable DIV based editor.

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'm building a rich editor to replace a textarea, and am about to
release it as "live." But there's one last thing I want to do with it.
When using a textarea, if the visitor clicks on "back" then the
information is (usually) still there. But with the contenteditable
field, it's gone.
I read on a web page a few days ago that there was an easy solution to
this, but I didn't save the information and didn't save the page. Any
ideas?

#navigation li is the parent element, which is positioned relative.The ul element above that is also position relative. I previously tested a click function and was able to confirm I was getting the correct position back, so now I just need to set the CSS property correctly for all of those links.The reason I want to do this is I have a set of links that appear over a photo of a city skyline. When you hover over those items, I want them to be given a background image that is a blurred and lightened version of the same photo so it needs to line up (sort of like the tabs are made of frosted glass).

I have contentEditable="true" on some span tags on my page. The idea is to allow admin users to edit content inline on the page without having to send them to a giant form page. When only using contentEditable="true" it works fantastically. You can click into the span and type away. Now, the admin users want the text to be selected in the span once they click into it or bring focus to it by tabbing. I'm using the following function onclick and onfocus to get this working:
Code:
function selectText(el)
{
var span = $(el);
// FIREFOX
if (Browser.Engine.gecko) {
var div = document.createRange();
div.setStartBefore(span);

I'm trying to emulate exactly how a div with the attribute contentEditable = "true" would operate using a textarea...trying and failing. I found some code somewhere which attempts to do something like his but it isn't working well for me.
I want to do this without jquery and with javascript only. The best example I can think of is Facebook's text area that you use to write on somebody's wall.
Here's my sizing function
Code:
And here's my text area:-

I'm new to javascript and am not sure why this works in firefox and not chrome. I am trying to create a script that keeps an object fixed horizontally while bing positioned absolute vertically. if I replace the toPP variable in document.getElementById('fire').style.top = toPP; with say '50px' it will move the element down 50 pxs, but how I have it currently it doesn't do anything in chrome
<script type="text/javascript" >
window.onscroll = function()
{
if( window.XMLHttpRequest ) {
var x = 0 -document.documentElement.scrollTop;
var toP = String(x);
var toPP = toP + "px";
[Code]...

I have a div inside another div, I want to keep inner div centered vertically at the visible portion of outer div. Say the outer div is 3000px in height, most of the monitors can not display all of it, only a portion will be seen, I want the inner div to be centered in the view port, if users scroll down the browser window, they will see another portion of outer div but the inner div should still be centered vertically.
