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.
I'm presently working on an existing web mapping site written in 'old' asp (not .net) using JavaScript on server side and JavaScript on client.
I'm more familiar with .net and vb, rusty with both 'old' asp and JavaScript so please forgive me if this question is too easy!
I need to set variables from web page tools, (e.g. a combo box) that have been coded in client JavaScript then save those variable back to the server as something like a session or application var. As when the page is refreshed (every time the map is paned for e.g.) I need the selected variable to stay and not have the user have to reset it every time.
I havent posted any code as I dont real know where to start!
I have no problem passing session vars from asp to the page but not collecting data from the page and saving back to server.
like for example i have text areas named upload1 and upload2when I click or add input on upload1 a drop down list below upload2 will not change, but when I add input on upload2 the dropdown will select "parts"
View 3 Replies View RelatedCan anyone show me how to select text before or after a cursor in a
textarea or an RTE?
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

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'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....

View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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?
Doing a:
document.Form.Number.select();
selects the INPUT element itself, not the text inside of it.

how to select the text "Our Partnership..." inside of $("#breadcrumbs").
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.

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.

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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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?
Using a css dropdown menu with javascript work-around for ie. Sorry to post yet again on this subject, but I couldn't find a solution in previous threads. My problem (in IE): I'm using the workaround as detailed in the "suckerfish" article [URL]. Works great to drop my menu down, but when I mouse out the menu remains. On checking back with the original article, they have the same problem so I tried adapting the mouseout line in different ways. Still can't figure it out. Here is my site: [URL]
Drop down menu only exists for the "producers directory".
