Preserve Whitespace Textarea When Transform To <p>?
Nov 8, 2011
I currently have a <p> where it changes to a textarea when a button is clicked How do I preserve the whitespace when saving that text to a database and displaying back to a <p>?
In a Text Area or Rich Edit Text Box I need to control whitespaces in between strings. For example if I have a : 1234 this is text test123. When I restore this information on the text area the spaces between those strings are not respected and only 1 space is in between those strings. When I browsed forums I see that we can use <pre> to hold the formats. I am new to programming don't know whether I need to work on HTML DOM for this text area or I can handle it in Javascript.
On load, if a select box as the option X selected, display a specific input field.This works, because, after the validation, I go back to the previous page, and the input field is there.However, if someone selects the option X of the selectbox, the input field appears, BUT, if a refresh is made, we lost that input field.I understand this is a normal behavior since, we are on a client-side language, hence it should forget the previous state, but, what is the common workaround for dealing with this, in order to "preserve" the input field after refresh?
In one of my pages, I use javascript (AJAX) to populate one mulitple select field based on user's click event on another control. I noticed that when I navigate back to this page by clicking browser's "Back" button, the changes made to the multiple select is not preserved. (It shows the initial value). While all the other user selections are preserved.
I have a JavaScript application that needs to preserve double quote marks and apostrophes (" and ') that are entered into form fields by the user. The form data is passed through several screens using hidden fields.
Right now, apostrophes work because I have the input fields coded as value="". I have not found a way for JavaScript to retrieve the field's value if double quotes are entered by the user. If I change the parameter to value='' (single quotes) then the apostrophes probably won't work.
Is there a straightforward way for JavaScript to retrieve the field value containing quotes, so that I can manipulate it into a different string that can be easily passed between HTML pages?
I'm having problems with a custom JS object (XMLLoadObject) I designed to load XML and XSL files, perform an XSL transform with them and embed the resultant HTML fragment into the host HTML document. I designed this object so that I could generate and embed HTML fragments from more than one XML/XSL source into a single HTML document. This is done by instantiating an XMLLoadObject with an XML filename, an XSL filename, and the ID of the HTML element as arguments. Once the object is created, XSL Parameters can be assigned to the transformation with a member function. Finally the documents are loaded and transformed with call to the member function xmlLoad(). A distinct object must be instantiated for each transform. The object assigns closured member functions as event handlers to give access to the object's XML Document and XSL Document objects (member data). Code:
I'm a very beginner in Javascript. In a nutshell, I need a code which will transform a link name once user is hovering over link. Nothing really fancy, just a basic transformation, switch to upper case will do perfectly.(I got my own code for operations with text, which works when text is entered from a form. I just don't get, how to get string name on hover and put it back after). I've already googled for over an hour with no result.
I have several xml files and a common stylesheet on the server. In my html I have a sidebar of links. For each link I fire an onClick event that triggers an xml load and transform with the output displayed in a small popup. Everything works great for one click. My issue is that in Firefox, each subsequent click concatenates the results to the previous tranformed results. How can i start fresh each time. I've tried resetting all variables involved but the problem won't go away. This works fine in IE by the way. Does anyone have an idea on what the issue could be?
I got an php page who picks up data out of my data base and puts it ina multidimensinal array. That array is being encoded to Json$event = json_encode($super_array);Then i made an javasript get funtion to get that array to my mainpage.
function get(){ $.get("../position of my file/test.php", function(data){ alert (""+data);
I'm trying to figure out reading XML into Javascript, and, frustrating as that is alone, what really boggles my mind is Mozilla's default NOT to ignore whitespace! I realize this may have its applications, but for the sake of my sanity (not to mention being cross-browser), I NEED to parse my XML document WITHOUT whitespace!
All I want to do essentially, is read in an XML document that has, let's say, 100 or so <character> nodes off the root, and output their text values into the HTML. Not so hard right? But if I make an XML document that I can actually READ (so that I don't go insane), I'm going to wind up with much more than 100 nodes thanks to reading in the whitespace... what can I do about this?
I've seen custom functions that will remove the whitespace nodes for me, but certainly there's an easier way to do this?!?
I am ok with using objects creating classes if someone else defines, but when it comes to defining my own, I hit a nasty brick wall... I am using an XML/XSLT wrapper called Sarissa to help with programming a utility to transform XML into HTML in different views. For this to happen, I have created a Loader class which loads in XML required. I am aware of prototyping for binding methods to objects (as opposed to replicating the same method every time an instance is created)... The aim being I want to create a progress bar for the essential files that need to be loaded in. Presently I have them load in Synchronous mode just to get the utility working, which I know is poor, so would like to address it.
I'm creating a preview function that opens a new window, and then writes the values of the text fields, now my script is below, but I need to be able to make sure that the enters/breaks/carriage returns are kept when calling this page. The data I require to keep these breaks is an text area. Code:
I'm trying to access the source of an HTML page with as few alterations from the actual source (as in, that seen from the View Source option) as I can. The method document.documentElement.innerHTML returns the HTML source, but adds HEAD and other elements if they are absent from the source, and takes out whitespace (i.e., line feeds, carriage returns and tabs) within tags and between tags. The follow function:
function xhr() {
xhr = new XMLHttpRequest() xhr.open("GET","test-page.html",true); xhr.onreadystatechange = function() { if (xhr.readyState==4) { alert(xhr.responseText); } } xhr.send(null) }
doesn't add or alter any tags that are absent in the source, and does not take out line feeds within tags; it does, however, still take out all non-line-feed whitespace within tags and all whitespace in general between tags.
It seems that preserving whitespace is all that I need, but I haven't found a way to do that through my searches. So is there any way to get the unaltered HTML source of a page without innerHTML or applets, like a better version of the XMLHttpRequest object's responseText method?
I am toying around with this great plugin and want to use a css class with a whitespace in it. Can I do this somehow? If I use "error message" as errorClass it wont remove the error messages. But if I use "error-messages" it works, why is that?
I have a string containing whitespaces, for example, "Michael Douglasemail.com". In Javascript, how can I replace the whitespace with underscore? "Michael_Douglasemail.com"
I print random text through php/mysql on my page and near the text there is a button which i want to be floated on the right.Between these two there is a whitespace which is not generated through php.How can i replace whitespace with "/"?I know the replace function for strings but how can i define a string here for something that doesnt exist(whitespace)?code...
I have the following script sent to me and would like to know if I can edit this javascript to transform the layout of the products that are added to the cms system that it renders items for?
I have a HTML/Javascript code which dynamically calculates the entries and gives the grand total.I have it working in table form using textboxes, but when I try to transform it using iWebkit to Form using small fields, the calculator does not work.I want to simply subtract 1 text field from another and user presses a button and gives an answer in a 3rd text field
THIS IS THE GENERIC HTML USING JAVASCRIPT WHICH WORKS FINE....
I have a JavaScript string. I want to replace all consecutive occurrences of whitespace characters like spaces, tabs, newlines, and form feeds with another string.
For example, say I have a string consisting of:
-- 3 spaces -- The characters "hello" -- 2 newline ( ) characters -- The characters "goodbye" -- 5 spaces
After applying some sort of regular expression to replace consecutive occurrences of whitespace chars with the string "X", the string should consist of the following:
-- The character "X" -- The characters "hello" -- The character "X" -- The characters "goodbye" -- The character "X"
How could I do this using regular expressions? I'm quite familiar with JavaScript but don't know anything about regular expressions or using them in JavaScript, so please show me step-by-step how it's done.
