Javascript is my very weakest, and i'm not all that good..I need to adapt this (already working) code to add the text where the cursor is within the textarea.Like i say, the above code works fine, its just now to get it place where the cursor is within the box.
I have this script that when run will search a form field (pricenum) and make sure that only a period or numbers are entered. If anything else is found, the script should clear the field, display an alert and then return the cursor to that form field. Everything works perfect except that the cursor will not return to the "pricenum" field after the alert popup is closed.
I am new to javascript, and am having an issue, which I'm sure is elementary.. I found a script for expandable content, it suffices fine. As it stands, the script toggles images onclick. For example, whence the menu is collapsed, it displays "plus.gif" next to it, and when the menu is expanded, it displays "minus.gif" next to it.
Basically, what I would like to know is, thus: how would I change it to display text icons next to it? For example, in place of "plus.gif" I should like it to display "+" as actual text. I've dredged a number of places, however, I've found nothing. Furthermore, I cannot figure out how to do it.
I want to get the cursor start and end position of a selected range in a text-field or text-area. i tried lot of functions in various forums. but when the last character of the selection is a new line character JavaScript ignore it in IE6. any one having idea ?
I want function to present something.png instead of the text for Good Morning etc.if (houris >17) display =gm.png;in this fashion.Also IE8 reports "clientside is undefined" as an error message, occasionally.My javascript knowledge is still rudimentary.
I don't know any Javascript except for using image rollovers with the help of Photoshop and ImageReady, so please excuse my n00b knowledge.
I am looking for a tutorial that, when you cross over an image on one part of the page, text appears on another part of the page (e.g. describing that button).
Is it possible using some kind of Script to get text/pictures/symbols from typed text and from a gif. file (already on the web site) to show on another place in the web site by clicking on a button.My coding is like this:
By pressing "Show" I want the text typed in the form to show on the same site, and then the user should have the opportunity to also place a symbol (the gif. file) the same way as the text and to be viewed on the same site too.
I'm trying to write a function that is similar to the ctrl+f functionality you get in IE, where you have a search string and when you click 'next' the whole string if matched is highlighted by the cursor.
This works fine for inputs and text areas using the following code:
But now I need to get it to work for normal text in a text node that is in the HTML/DOM. Is there an equivalent way of making the above method work for text in text nodes?
Alternatively is there a way to make the browser (IE) at least focus on some text in a text node? (I could then highlight it with CSS styles).
How to add a function that will add some text in textarea, when someone clicks on button, where the cursor is?(Like here, on daniweb textareas!)eg. There is bold button! The user clicks on it, and the text "[BOLD][/BOLD]" writes where curser/caret is. Cursor/caret (|) is focused between these two elements "[BOLD]cursor/caret (|)[/BOLD]"
I need to control the cursor position in a textbox to do this, does anyone know how to place the cursor in the textbox at a particular position
The functionality I am looking for... Excel provides data entry help based on previous entries i.e. if in a previous cell in a column I entered "Jim Bob" then the next cell I type a "J" Excel provides help by showing "Jim Bob" in a way that allows me to pick it or keep typing. This is the kind of functionality I am trying to get using JS.
In the code below I create an array of previous entries by the user over the last 45 days this all comes from a DB but that's not important here. When the user enters a key in the textbox I can pop the text box with a matching value from the array, only up to the chars entered.
The Problem or Question: Is there a way to place the curser back into the last position and highlight the remaining part of the match from the array?
This is really hard to explain but if you ever used Excel you may have an idea of what I am trying to do. Code:
Using an onMouseDown, I can determine the coordinates of the cursor. Is there any way to write some text (a string) at that point. I am using at the moment a <textareaa> tag. I want the user to be able to click in the text and at a string to be inserted at that point.
I have a form with several different text boxes for things like dates, numbers, etc. arranged in a table, each row has the same kind of text boxes for data entry (10 rows probably).
I want to have a separate section above the form where I can toggle a div containing an appropriate error message to appear after the onchange event fires for the text box.
The thing is, I want all the divs with their different text messages to appear in the same place and disappear from the same place above the form instead of different places on the form or web page.
Well, they don't have to be multiple divs, but there are multiple different error messages that should appear depending where the user is typing...
Example: 'wrong format,' 'month must be between 1 and 12,' etc. Of course the messages will be nicer than this.
it works fine but when it enters the text - 'http://' - the cursor jumps back to the start of the line in the text box. How do I then make the cursor be placed at the end of the text. For example:
I'm using contentEditable divs. I want to have a button a person can press, a modal window appears, some text from the modal window is selected, then it is to be inserted into the contentEditable div in the location the cursor was at before pressing the button. So how can I save that spot so I can insert there?

I'm working on an ajax driven chat room (you can see the "proof of concept" at URL..., and I'm currently working on a function to add color symbols to the chat textbox;As written, function works just great. however, I wish to add the further feature of placing the cursor between the symbols, if the "middle" variable is empty.
I would like to find out the followings: 1) how to set the cursor to a particular textbox depending on the value entered (after the alert message or without alert message)
2) how to make the prg to execute the js function in 2nd textbox (in textbox2row1) if the values changes in textbox1(textbox1row1) but the value in the current textbox(textbox2row1) no change.
It's supposed to be a custom button with centered text in. I cannot include the text in the image and make a bitmap out of it. I have to be able to change the text, and there are lots of different strings.
When the cursor is over the text. It has the shape of a text cursor, not a hand.
