Static Text Highlighting -- Can It Be Done?

Jan 6, 2007

I'm trying to write an application to demonstrate to a friend how to
highlight text in javascript, only problem is he wants it to be on divs
only.

So say for example you have a page, and you select some text in the div
(this is static text, not a form or anything) and you click "highlight"
is there a way to wrap style tags around that highlighted text using
javascript, without refreshing the page?

Bookmarklet - Append Location.href To A Static URL And Get The Resulting Content From The Static URL?

Nov 2, 2009

I need a java bookmarklet that does a real simple thing. I need to take the current URL (ie, where the user is when they click the bookmarklet) and append it to a static URL and return the text on the resulting page.For example:

The user is at http:[url]....

The user clicks the bookmarklet.

the bookmarklet takes http:[url].... and appends it to http:[url]... HERE where you see the URL HERE text.That PHP script echos a simple line of text (a shortened URL actually).Then I want that result from the outside_create.php file to be displayed in a window back to the user.Is this even possible? Basically I need to know how to append location.href to a static URL and how to get the resulting content from the static URL..

Inline Text Highlighting - User To Be Able To Select The Text They Want To Highlight

Sep 10, 2010

Alright, I'm using a Rooh.It WordPress plugin right now, but I don't like the way they do it, so I want to write my own code to do something similar.

I want the user to be able to select the text they want to highlight, and the background color of that text changes to whatever color they have selected.

How can I do this in JavaScript?

Possible To Prevent Highlighting Text Within A Text Field?

Oct 26, 2002

I am using a calendar control based on the one at Brainjar.com. I have made the text field into which the date is inserted readonly. The problem with this is that if a user attempts to change the date manually by deleting part of the highlighted text, the browser goes back one page.

I want to force the user to use the calendar control and not input text directly into the textfield- readonly is not enough as the text can still be highlighted and then causes problems if the user attempts to delete.

Highlighting Text With Cursor ?

Nov 10, 2011

I'm trying to write a function that is similar to the ctrl+f functionality you get in IE, where you have a search string and when you click 'next' the whole string if matched is highlighted by the cursor.

This works fine for inputs and text areas using the following code:

But now I need to get it to work for normal text in a text node that is in the HTML/DOM. Is there an equivalent way of making the above method work for text in text nodes?

Alternatively is there a way to make the browser (IE) at least focus on some text in a text node? (I could then highlight it with CSS styles).

Disabling Highlighting Of Text

Dec 22, 2010

The first page with the menu works just fine, but when you go to any of the other pages it won't let you highlight the text to copy and paste - in certain circumstances. It works fine on my home computer which is running Windows XP. I've been able to work with it in all browsers. On Windows Vista and Windows 7 there are issues. The only real difference is the previous/next page menu and the switch div script which is written in Javascript. This is the only thing I can think that's interfering. I've only tested Internet Explorer and Chrome in Vista (don't know about Chrome in 7) but it inhibits in both browsers.

Might there be any work arounds? On 14.html which is the Index (as in book, not the main web page) the switch div is gone but it's still not working. However, I tested just the switch div script on another web-site without the previous/next page menu and that also doesn't work.

Highlighting Text Within A Specific Cell

Sep 7, 2006

I'm currently working on a project which is essentially a clickable
world map. I have successfully mapped the image and using a
OnMouseOver = "Continent()" OnMouseOut = "World()" command in each
mapping line ie. <area shape="poly" onmouseover="NA()"
onmouseout="World()" coords="(lotsonumbers)".

In my continent functions I change the image using something like:
function Africa()
{document.images[35].src="/_View/images/maps/worldmaps/world.africa.jpg";
return true;}

This gives me the "highlighting" effect I was looking for when people
mouse over the continent.

However! my problem now is that I need to find a way to essentially
link that with a cell within the same table as the mapped image. There
is a list of the continents in the column next to the map (the map has
all the rows merged in that column). I need it so that if I run the
mouse over the continent or that cell both of them highlight at the
same time. I see the best way of doing this as having both call the
World or Continent function. However I have been unable to find any
way of setting a specific cell's background or text from within a
function.

Menu Won't Resize - It's Static

May 14, 2009

I have a javascript file that contains methods and the structure to form a popout menu. Then I have another javascript file that uses those methods/structure etc. to build a specific menu with all it's links, titles, etc. To have the menu created on my html page I link to the two .js files and put window.onLoad = writeMenus();

in between script tags that creates the menu right when the user gets to the page. My problem is, since the menu is created when the window loads, it's static. So when I resize my window, the menu won't resize. In my .js files I have the positions of the menu based on screen.width/# so they aren't set values. I think my problem is with using the .onload. It loads the menu once at the beginning but doesn't know to redo it when the window resizes.

Assign Different Static Values To Different Variables?

Jul 10, 2010

I'm trying to learn JavaScript on my own and am using a Dashcode example (if anybody uses Dashcode, the example is the "Browser" web application template that is shown when Dashcode opens).

Briefly, the JavaScript generates a list of "Locations" in the USA:

Code JavaScript:
// Sample data. Some applications may have static data like this, but most will want to use information fetched remotely via XMLHttpRequest.
var parks = [

[Code]....

I want to retain the layout and structure but, depending on the "Location" have different text for each of the new pages (not "the scenery is amazing etc).

JQuery :: Jsonp To A Static Remote File?

May 12, 2009

Currently I was able to load remote JSON (php) file using JSONP protocol. However, how to do if my remote file is static? In the doc, it said: you can load JSON data located on another domain if you specify a JSONP callback, which can be done like so: "myurl?callback=?". But since my remote file is a static text file, how can I specify the callback in the output dynamically? In fact, I also wonder if it is possible to control the random callback name by modifying jquery source code...
