Selecting Highlighted Text
Aug 11, 2006It needs to allow the user to highlight some text within a paragraph. If the correct text (with an error) is selected it should provide feedback that the user has correctly selected this text.
So what I need to do is
1. Get the text selection
2. Compare this text selection to a predefined answer
3. Provide feedback to the user e.g. they are correct if text selection = predefined answer, and incorrect if text selection != predefined answer
Selecting Text On A Page?
Apr 13, 2011I have seen the "Select All" button or "Highlight All" button on numerous sites in the way of selecting text in a form field, but what I am wanting to do is with a button select all text in a table so all the viewer needs to do is press CRTL+C to copy the text. I have tried javascript:document.MyTable.select(); but it doesn't work. It really isn't an option for me to use a text box for the data as it is being formed dynamically in a table from a database.

Jul 23, 2005I'm desinging a graphical interface and I frequently take advantage of the double click event. Unfortunately in most browsers double clicking also involves selecting and I would like to avoid that since whatever is selected has dark blue background and white letters what spoils the whole visual effect.... Any way I can block it por avoid it?
View 3 Replies View RelatedSelecting Text So It STAYS Selected.
Jul 23, 2005I have a textarea and some buttons. The buttons apply functions to
the text the user selects, i.e. the good old "wrap with a tag"
thing we all have seen in 100 different editors.
Trouble is, when I click the button, the selected text gets
unselected. Select some text in the textbox and click -anywhere-
and the text unselects.
Auto-selecting All Text In A Field
Nov 28, 2006I have a simple form that contains an INPUT element that has an initial value.
<form name="Form">
<input name="Number" type="text" value="Hello">

When the form loads, I want all of the text in the field to be automatically selected. How can I do this?

Selecting A Dropdown Option By Its Text?
Jul 15, 2009So I've got some simple javascript functions to set dropdown selections based on index. But I've also have a field that needs to be selected based on its text (possibly value, but text would be better).The current code is really just based around this line:document.getElementById("Option3")[myOption1].selected = true;and what I'm looking for is:document.getElementById("Option3").getIndexByText("TheSelectorText").selected = true;Is there a built in function for this? Has anyone implemented it? I searched google and there didn't seem to be any standout answers.

JQuery :: Selecting Text Part Of 'a' Element?
Nov 12, 2011You can't select the 'text' part of an 'a' element with css, e.g. in the statement <a>some text </a> you can't use a css attribute selector a[text = "some text"]{} to style the 'a' element. You can select all named attributes such as HREF, TITLE, etc. Does jquery's .attrib map strictly to the css usage or is there some way I can match on that part of an 'a' element?
I need this because a menu list I'm working with doesn't by default require a TITLE element so I can't assume I can match on this attribute.

View 2 Replies View RelatedJQuery :: Including External Pages / Selecting Text Fragments?
Jan 9, 2011I want users to specify external sites, a) include them, and let b) users annotate certain paragraphs of text.
a)
As this sites are external (not on the same domain) I cannot use iframes since I cannot select text then, as I understood, right? So I need to create a proxy page which integrates them in the local domain. If this works, I guess the problem are relative urls - does anyone know a good way to correct these? Furthermore, do I need an iframe, or is there another way?
b)
I would like users to be able to select text paragraphs and add a description. Ideally I would get XPath for the selection. Is there a tool/plugin to do this? Like select some text and get the XPath for it?
Reading External Text File - Load The Content Of The File Into A Variable In Script
Jul 16, 2010I'm writing a script and I've encountered a problem.. I have a txt file with many words, each word in a different line. For example: the file words.txt contains:
word1
word2
word3
word4
word5
I need to load the content of the file into a variable in my script. I prefer that all the words will be in the same variable with line breaks, but if you'll figure out a way to put it in an array, it's ok too. I really don't know how to do it, and I tried to google but didn't understand.. By the way, I don't want to change the txt file to js file, I need it to remain txt..
How Do I Insert A Text File Just Like An <img> File?
Aug 19, 2006I have a folder of images from which I access individual pictures using the ID[Who] variable index passed down from the parent frame plus a local index variable p.
document.write('<img src="Photos/'+ID[top.Who]+p+'.jpg" width="100" border="3"><BR>');
where an example file in Photos is PhotosAndiamo1.jpg, the ID in this case resolving to "Andiamo" and the local variable is = 1. This works great.
I would like to add a file of text captions associated with the pictures, preferably saved in the Photos folder such as PhotoAndiamo1.txt.
While I can fetch the images easily by document.writeing the <img ....> command, how do I do a similar fetch for the text data and document.write it to the HTML? (Short of the hassle of creating text images and fetching those.)
