Testing For Overflow In A Textarea
Sep 27, 2006Is there any way to test if there is overflow in a text area (i.e. a scrollbar is displayed)? This is a read only field so I could change the textarea to a div if necessary.

View 1 Repliesi have a tetxtarea, with the style overflow:hidden, and a long text.
because of the overflow, user does not see the whole text but a part.
is there, in an IE browser, a mode to recovery the effective text
than user see?
I'm currently building a website that has a flash fullscreen popup at the beginning. The flash popup loads fullscreen, therefor I've set overflow-y to hidden. As soon as the flash popup is done, it removes the div it the flash is in using javascript, but I can't figure out how to put the overflow-y to visible.
I'm assuming I need to build a Javascript function to show overflow-y visible, and then need to call to that function from the flash file. I just can't figure out how to build the javascript function since I suck at javascript.
All the CSS is in the original file, so not in an external stylesheet, this needs to stay that way because I have to implement the code in to several different web sites.
I want to test if I get a overflow in a fixed sized div and in that case add 'overflow:scroll' to the div. I guess there is a way to check if a generated contents (from PHP) will create an overflow but how?

Is there any way to test for the presence of the Adobe Acrobat plug-in

it to work in MSIE.
How would i change back to the default length of textarea?
I have this comment area that after clicking submit i will append the new comment in the list of comments through ajax... i got one problem though, everything is working perfectly well except for the textarea that won't change back to it's default size...
EXAMPLE:
The problem is that the textareawon't change back to it's default size // let's say that the default size is rows=3
I'm trying to get JSUnit to work - I've tried everything I can think
of, but I can't get the simplest of tests working - example 1 of the
jsunit homepage - Both on my server and locally, nothing happens after
clicking run - or if I'm lucky, a window pops up, blank, other than the
heading "Tracing - JSUnit".
how I might use JavaScript to detect the overflow of text in a DIV. Currently, I have the CSS set to Code:
overflow:auto
However, having scroll bars are pretty tacky. Instead, I'd like to be able to detect the overflow, which would then add a small <a href> link that says "More."
i wrote a rough script to try and test which method of incrementation was faster: i+=1; i++; ++i;

I had a rethink about my problem discussed in this [URL] thread, where the function won't run properly a second time if the page hasn't been reloaded. That one appears not to have a solution, and I was thinking that a reasonable plan B is the following:
a) test if the function has already been run since the page was loaded
b) if not, run the function
c) if it has, reload the page with the onClick, then run the function automatically on reloading.
the problem I envisage is will the page "remember" to run the function once it has been reloaded?Of course, it would be simpler to do it running the function automatically once the page loads, then just reloading if the test comes back that the function has been run already, but that wouldn't work for the first time you visit the page - it would start running straight away, whereas I want it to wait for that first click. Here's the page [URL] I'm working on, if you want to have a look.
I discovered this really great jQuery plugin which adds a scroll to top link to every page (implemented through my CMS) - http://blog.ph-creative.com/post/jQu...ll-to-Top.aspxIn Firefox its fine but in IE after going through a few pages I start to get an alert box which says "Stack overflow at line: 13". I understand that this may be caused by an infinite loop but being a JS novice I'm kinda lost as to where to start.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was putting some javascript in a form and doing my usual testing and swearing when the javascript did not run without an error message of any type and reverting the code back until it did run and adding code til it didn't.
Then it hit me - isn't there a better way - doesn't someone have a program or utility that will help debug Javascript ???
As I'm doing Javascript it is much harder to decode than the 30 year-old Fortran programs - they typically gave a line number and variable name that was missing.
When I did Basic before Visual Basic, the editor identified errors in real time as we typed. What is available for Javascript?
If I have to test my code on different Netscape versions, can I download and run those versions on the same computer or will it create conflicts? And if I had to test only one version which one should it be - which one has the most common elements to all the versions?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to check if my new window is open and if it is change the url.
This works until I use the x in the corner to close the window. At that
point i get an error when i try to open the window again. I believe that it
is because newWindow is still active. How do I close newWindow when it is
unloaded or closed by the x. If this is truely the problem.
function openWindow()
{
if (typeof (newWindow) == "undefined" || newWindow.open == false)
{
newWindow = window.open("http://www.yahoo.com","","width=400,height=400");
newWindow.focus();
return false;
}
else
{
newWindow.location.href = "http://www.msn.com"
}}
Here's my solution, seems a little redundant though.
function openWindow()
{
if (typeof (newWindow) == "undefined" || newWindow.open == false)
{
newWindow = window.open("http://www.yahoo.com","","width=400,height=400");
newWindow.focus();
return false;
}
else
{
newWindow.close()
newWindow = window.open("http://www.msn.com/","","width=400,height=400");
newWindow.focus();
return false;
}}
Say I have a text area. When the user clicks a button the entered text
displays in a DIV. If there's too much text to fit in that DIV then the
overflow text (the text that doesn't fit in the first DIV) displays in
an adjacent DIV.
Is there a way to know if there's "overflowing" text and, if there is,
if there a way to know what that text is?
In this piece of code (common to a number of pages) I want to set focus to a second input field if there is one.

determine what the first letter of a selector is? For example, if the very first letter of a paragraph is a quote (or a ‘ , or a “ , etc) I would like to apply a negative text- indent to the found paragraph so as to replicate "hanging quotes" that are commonplace in the print world. The code I've come up with is: $("p:contains(“), h1:contains(“), h2:contains(“)").css({'text- indent':'-0.3em'}); but this grabs any p or h1 or h2 that *contains* an opening curly quote; not what I'm looking for. I need it to select paragraphs that *start* with the opening curly quote. Incidentally, I could not get this to work when I was searching for $ ("p:contains(“)... but it worked when I entered an actual opening curly quote in the search (as above top). I tried both single and double escapes too.

does anyone know how I can test, in javascript, which of several buttons was pressed when submitting a form? Currently, I use the onSubmit event handler to call a form validator function, and it is in that function which I would like to test which submit button was pressed. Anyone know?
View 3 Replies View RelatedCopy the following code and run it in IE and Firefox. In IE, you can see it works pretty damn good, with the center column using a div with "overflow". That is what I want!
Now, in Firefox, it doesn't work like that probably because it's doing it the RIGHT way
So, with that said, can any of you javascript guru's think of anything that we can use some JS to force the middle div to use that scrollbar when the content gets past the initial browser height? Code:
Is there any way to prevent this error, flush some memory maybe?
Is it caused by logical coding error? (script runs error free except this)
If I define two arrays identically and test for their equality I get a "false".
That is,

So I thought perhaps == could not be used to compare arrays.
But the following:

Why the first comparison fails?
