I 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.
It 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
Im trying to make an application that selects phrases from a txt file using a random number generator. im good with js but for some reason im drawing a blank...
I'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?
I 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.
<a href="google.com" id="test"><span>0</span>The text that I actually want</a> Using JQuery I want to be able to select "The text that I actually want". $('#id').text // outputs 0The text that I actually want Is there a way to accomplish this?
So 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.
I need to select the lowest element containing a given string.The :contains(text) selector returns the element I want but also allits ancestors (since they too contain the text). I haven't been ableto figure out a selector expression that returns only the lowestelement.
You 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.

<script type="text/javascript"> function togglefield(val) { var o = document.getElementById('other'); (val == 'Other')? o.style.display = 'block' : o.style.display = 'none'; } </script> and the form: <form action="" method="post"> <select name="sel" id="sel" onChange="togglefield(this.value);"> <option value="1">1</option> <option value="2">2</option> <option value="3">3</option> <option value="Other">Other</option> </select> <input type="text" name="other" id="other" style="display: none;"> </form>
I'm trying to access a value from an input form. I know this works without the onkeyup event but with it it says the that document.formname.elementid.value is undefined! Its extremely frustrating. As the user types into the input, I am using AJAX to generate some more options which works but I need to be able to access the input type=text value.
On a page for product descriptions, I have a MySQL query that returns a list of purchase options and the price of each option.There is a drop-down field which lists the names of each option. To the right, the price of the selected option is displayed.Upon selecting a different option, how can I have the displayed price change to that of the newly selected option?
I 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?
I am trying to add a class to my menu for the page it is currently on.
I followed this example: [url]
But I am not able to make it work at all.
Here is my HTML:
To make the nav element highlighted, the list item must have a class of 'hover' like this '<li class="hover">...'
And here is my jQuery:
The script is not applying any CSS to the list elements. I tried different combinations, tried to add a class to the a element by removing parent(), but nothing is triggering.
I have a text field (field1) already displayed on the HTML page. However, there's a link where you can add additional text fields to the page as well. When the link is clicked, the second text field is added successfully (field2), and when the link is clicked again, the third text field (field3) is added successfully. However, the third field does not add itself to the page, and the text for anything greater than a third field also isn't displayed after. This obviously means that my "fields" variable is not working right

Is it possible to have a text box input searching for the entered text on another webpage in the same way Find In Page would do? I have a webpage that I want users to input an item, and that this will open the targeted webpage and bring you to (and highlight) the matched item(s) like find in page does. Is this possible or is the easiest way to just make users open the link to the target page and just complete the find in page search there?
I have a forum with over 5000 topics (lots of content in each topic) and I have a wiki-website with over 4000 articles. Both share the same database and are similar in context.
Now, I was wondering if there is a JavaScript out there that can could scan my forum page and underline words on that page that are articles on the wiki. For instance, if I have an article in the wiki entitled "Heart", where ever "Heart" appears in the forum, it is underlined and linked to that exact article on the wiki.
This conceptual idea is very similar to In-Text advertisements, such as Kontera, but I can't seem to find the scripting they use.
If you look on the right panel, at the heading "What our clients / journalists say", you will notice that it fades into another set of text. However when the page first loads because it takes a few seconds loading in the twitter feed, you will see a big lump of text running down the page.
Only when the Twitter feed has loaded does the lump of text disappear. Can i overcome this somehow?
