Display A Default Text In Textbixes And Textareas?
Jul 2, 2009A form on my website's contact -us HTML page has two fields
1) subject
2) message
When the page loads for the first time I want these two boxes to display messages like "**Enter subject here**" and "**Enter Message here**".
I found that we can do this by using the "value" attribute of the text box, is this the best way ??.. What alternatives do I have to achieve this ?
SSI With Text Formatting
May 9, 2001I have read about using a SSI to incorporate .txt files into your site.
Okay, I did that, but the Items do not word wrap i.e "<br>
How can I get each item in the .txt file to break after each is printed using a SSI??
*Details
-----------------
The .txt file is a listing of songs that get updated everyday and it is being put into a scroll area.
I work in Notepad (does it matter for creating .txt)?
-----------------
I need to know as soon as possible 'cause I want the site to go "Live".

Add Text Formatting To A Textarea?
Feb 28, 2009I'm about to build a custom CMS using PHP, but I was hoping to add text formatting (bold, italic and maybe inline links) to a textarea in a secure admin section.
I was wondering whether it's possible to use Javascript to allow the user to highlight some text and click a button which will cause the script to write the appropriate HTML tags into the textarea.
By the way, I'm new to Javascript so be gentle.
Online Text Formatting?
Mar 22, 2001I'm currently working on an online content management system which allows users to edit html-pages without seeing the HTML-tags.

View 11 Replies View RelatedText Formatting In Random Javascript
Jul 23, 2005I'm going through some "learning by doing" of javascript through trial
and error, and admittedly have a lot to learn. But in taking various
scripts and dissecting them, I still can't figure out if what I want to
do is possible, and that is this:
I'm trying to include a paragraph on my page that is randomly chosen
each time the page loads. This I can do. But in this paragraph I'm
trying to include varied text formatting (parts bold, parts different
color, etc), and make part of it a link.
If I use unformatted, un-linked text, it works fine, but that's not my
goal. When I try including html in the items from which to be selected
randomly, whether by directly specifying the attributes or using CSS
class references, nothing displays, which makes me wonder what of all
this is the problem.
Retain Text Formatting From Web Page
Dec 1, 2006Apologies for the almost duplicate post but thought this was much
clearer description of the issue than what I originally posted.
I'm trying to do simple integration with a third-party
web application. The app has an 'Action' button on all pages that
can be associate with a JS function. Our application is very
proficient at parsing text provided it is in some reasonably standard structure.
Is what we are trying to do is have a JS function that can be called
from any page in their system that will provide a reasonable representation
of the text on the screen. I need something close to document.body.innerText; the problem with this function is that it strips spacing from tables so we can't get consistent layout.
The consistent layout I am looking for would be the same as if you did
the following on any page:
1) Select all
2) Copy
3) Paste to notepad
Is there a function or process that will retrieve all text and retain
formatting?
Formatting Text Within A Script.js File?
Jul 27, 2011I have been in the process of re-designing my website to utilize some of the functionality and benefits of jquery. I'm building a slider set for my site, and each slide contains it's own nav box and text description of said slide. Things are working fairly well for the most part, but I'm encountering an issue with text formatting on the slides, and I figured it would be best to post my information here and try to get some assistance.My script.js file contains all of the necessary info for the slides (a code example is below):
Background images, slide text and url's
var photos = [ {
"title" : "Clouds",
"cssclass" : "cloud",
"image" : "bg_cloud.jpg",
"text" : "
A cloud is a visible mass of water droplets or frozen ice crystals suspended in the Earth's atmosphere above the surface of the Earth or other planetary body. Clouds in the Earth's atmosphere are studied in the nephology or cloud physics branch of meteorology. Two processes, possibly acting together, can lead to air becoming saturated: cooling the air or adding water vapor to the air. Generally, precipitation will fall to the surface; an exception is virga which evaporates before reaching the surface.",}];Here's what the finished product of that code looks like on the front end:Each slide in the set looks similar to this (but obviously contains different information). As the text for each slide is contained within the .js file and not within the html, is there any way to format it so that I can use things like italics, bold, etc.?

Open Post Data How To Keep Text Formatting?
Apr 19, 2011im sure this will be pretty simple, at the moment i have some code which sends text from a textarea to a php file, the php file then stores the data into a database.the javascript post is as follows:
var text = document.getElementById(area).value;
http.open('post', 'autosave.php?text='+text);
there is a little bit more to this(just a handle response).My issue is that when the data is passed through javascript newlines and breaks disappear, so when i call the saved data it is presented as one long string with no formatting.i tried the nl2br() function and htmlspecialchars() function in the php file that the javascript passes the data to, this made no difference. I then tried to replace /n with <br /> in the javascript before passing the text variable again this made no differnce.

Jun 16, 2006I'm trying to write a small little bookmarklet to insert some text into a textarea on a website I frequent. The first problem I ran into was that while the textarea I wanted to mess with was named, the form wasn't. To get around this I tried:
window.document.forms[0].comment_body.value
which, for some reason, sometimes worked. But not every time. Then I found getElementsByName but I can't seem to get that working either. Here's my latest attempt:
javascript:function wlcauto() {elements = document.getElementsByName(comment_body);V = 'bla bla bla bla bla'elements.value = V;}wlcauto();void(null)
Anyone have any ideas or links to something?

Feb 18, 2010I am trying to read something like the following in a textarea
Code:
|Note|Dur:4th|Pos:n1
|Note|Dur:4th|Pos:n-3
|Note|Dur:4th|Pos:n0
|Note|Dur:4th|Pos:#2
|Note|Dur:4th|Pos:n3
|Note|Dur:4th|Pos:n-2
|Note|Dur:4th|Pos:#-2
There are other types of records but I am only interested in the ones which start with "|Note|". The field after "Pos:" will be compared to members of:
Code:
var offsets = [ "n-6", "#-6", "n-5", "#-5", "n-4", "n-3", ... ]
If there are other fields after Pos:, there will be a "|" or "!" instead of the end of the line.
I was able to run the split(" ") command against the textarea to break it into separate lines, but I couldn't search those lines.

Aug 25, 2006I have some Javascript code that reads and sometimes sets the content of

Setting the content is more of a challenge. I don't want to have nasty browser detection to select what to use for newlines. Is there one newline pattern that is safe for all browsers?
