Removing Text From Textarea Via Dropdown?

Feb 4, 2009

I have a dropdownbox with values. When the user selects a value and presses the button [add], this value is added to the textareabox. Now I like to create a function that will remove the selected value from the same dropdownbox from the textareabox when the user presses a button [remove]. Currently I check if the textareabox is empty and set the value from the dropdown to the textareabox. If it is not empty, it will add the value + a linebreak ( )

Example:
<Select name="A">
<option value="" selected>select</option>
<option value="123, xy; ">123, xy</option> (notice the space at the end after the [;] !)

[Code]....

Textarea Key Press Disables Dropdown Add In Firefox?

Aug 1, 2010

My script works ok in IE but not in firefox.Basically i have a dropdown list that onclick adds the values to a textarea field on same page. It works ok if you just select from the dropdown to begin.However as soon as you press a key with the cursor in focus of the textarea it disables the further addition from the dropdown.This doesn't happen in IE so it's probably a syntax error.'m new to all this and i search the internet to build the scripts by trial and error -this is my way of learning. Anyway here is the code;avascript:

function test(){
document.getElementById('taid').innerHTML+=document.getElementById
('selid').value;

Dropdown Menu - Value Displayed In Input Or Textarea

Jul 29, 2009

Years ago I used to have a Javscript Dropdown Menu. When an option was selected whatever was in the Value="text here" would be displayed in either a <input> or <textarea>. I have looked all over and can't locate such a script. This type of setup is great for FAQs in chats and in forums.

Dynamically Resizing TextArea - Jerky And "bounce" When Adding Or Removing Lines

May 23, 2010

This is a two-fold question:

1. first I have a link for something that works but I want to work better:

[url]

The dynamically resizing textarea boxes are in light orange. They work, but they are rather jerky and you see some "bounce" when adding or removing lines -unlike Face Book which doesn't do this. Can anyone propose a better coding system that is smoother AND less processor intensive?

2. If you really do UNDERSTAND javascript at the programmatic level I'd be interested in having you work regularly for me, but I think I might need to post that in another forum. I'm a PHP programmer, and because I don't understand the JS Kernel and how it thinks, I'm always chasing my tail on it.

Adding Text To Textarea - Create An Additional Button That Will Insert Some Text - Certain Html Tags

Mar 10, 2010

I am creating a small CMS module for a client. I created a little form and when they click Submit, it goes straight out into an include (.inc) file, which is connected to the web page to be displayed.

The trouble I am having is that I'd like to create an additional button that will insert some text (certain html tags to make their life easier, etc) - I got it to work, actually. The script executes and the text is inserted - but once the script runs and the page refreshes (or whatever it does), the text then disappears. The only way I can seem to get it to stay put is when I use "onmouseup" instead of "onclick" - which means that every time the user accidentally mouses over the thing, it inserts the text.

JQuery :: Removing Text Of A Label

Dec 9, 2010

I have the following radio boxes. A total of five in all. I'm trying to get a scale from 5 to 1 where the user agrees or disagrees a question. However, the client is looking for a scale from Agrees to Disagrees. This is a drupal site and I am using a module for my survey that generates the survey. There isn't an option of leaving out the label. I was hoping to use JQuery to change the displayed text from a '4' to ''.

<label class="option" for="edit-submitted-question-14a-2">
<input type="radio" id="edit-submitted-question-14a-2" name="submitted[question_14a]" value="4" class="form-radio" /> 4</label>

I have been banging my head against the wall for a long time and I am not that familiar with JQuery to solve this problem on my own.

Appending Text To Textarea?

Jan 27, 2010

End result: I want to have buttons along the top of a textarea which will be used to add tags around highlighted text / the text curser thingy. (Basically it will be an edit box like the I am using now to make this post).

Problem at the moment: I want to reference the var to use in the function. e.g.

function addtext(id) {
var al = "<div style="text-align:left;"></div>";
document.myform.outputtext.value += id;
}

"id" will be defined as "al" in the HTML onclick function, I want this to use "var al" where it says ".value += id;".

HTML:

<form name="myform">
<textarea name="inputtext">Type Here

Add Text Formatting To A Textarea?

Feb 28, 2009

I'm about to build a custom CMS using PHP, but I was hoping to add text formatting (bold, italic and maybe inline links) to a textarea in a secure admin section.

I was wondering whether it's possible to use Javascript to allow the user to highlight some text and click a button which will cause the script to write the appropriate HTML tags into the textarea.

By the way, I'm new to Javascript so be gentle.

JQuery :: Retain Text In Textarea?

Aug 7, 2009

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.

JQuery :: Textarea Text Won't Change?

Oct 3, 2011

I've been trying to change the text in a textarea element to no avail. I'm using the following to change the text:

$(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.
