Unwanted Text Selection In MSIE?
Oct 13, 2011
I made up a little test program to grab the mouse X and Y coordinates and plan to use it to allow users to resize a window.
Anyway, the problem I'm having is that in MSIE-8, the mouse down and movement causes text to be selected (which I don't want).
Here's is a screenshot from MSIE:
[URL]
And here is the test program live online: [URL]
Notice that the text in the box is selected... I don't want that to happen.
Of course, it works just fine in Firefox, but not MSIE.

This is probably more of an HTML question than anything else, so my apologies if it's out of place.I'm using a series of spans within a div to act as filters (selectors) to hide/show various divs. When the user clicks on the text within the span, the span toggles a "selected" class, and also triggers a function to hide the associated divs. My problem is that occasionally the area around the text (the entire span, it would seem) gets "selected" when clicked on and turns blue, obscuring the text. Here are two screenshots, one showing the word "lambs" correctly, the other showing the same word with the unwanted blue background. Question: is there any way to make this not happen? Should I be using different elements as the selectors?

I tried to get values from a input box which works great in Firefox, but not in MSIE;
$("input[name=name]").val();
Is there a workaround for MSIE to get this working or am I just doomed to use id's?

When you tab to a text input, the value gets highlighted. How can it be disabled?

I am working on code to wrap BBCodes around a user selection, then leave the selection selected for possibly adding more BBCodes around the same selection.My problem is that there seems to be several different ways to do it and I can't figure out which one is "the best".Now, I can't use the "standard" way of doing this because I am working with TinyMCE. I know there are countless examples on how to do this with textareas... that is NOT what I need.TinyMCE can give me a selection RANGE, a selection NODE or a selection OBJECT. Note that if I use TinyMCE's range, it internally "normalizes" the range to be a standard W3C range, regardless of browser.I've created a new range, extracted the selection from the user's range, created elements for the open and close BBCode, inserted the elements into the range and finally set the user's selection to the new range. Works fine.
I also tried taking the selection node (which is an element), then simply used "innerHTML" to add the opening and closing tags, then set the node to the modified node. Works fine.I've also used the editor's built in "selection.getContent()" and "selection.setContent()" calls and THIS also works.I've even tried using the DOM "surroundContents()" function, then used a regex to change the < and > into [ and ]. Freaky... but that works too.So, my dilemma is... which method should I use???To recap, here's what I want (blue represents selected text):
This is a test sentence. (user selected some text)
This is a test sentence. (text is wrapped and remains selected).
This is a test sentence. (user clicked another bbcode button).

I don't know if it was some kind of "upgrade" in a recent Windows SP but, I now have a problem...When ever I have JavaScript open a new window the URL is displayed in the title bar prior to the title, this is really just an aesthetic problem but seems to be fixed if I set the new window property of location to yes, but I then get an ugly url title bar in my new window. Does anyone know how to disable that "feature" or even what I am talking about. It just annoys me.

I don't want scroll bar -> I have a solution <body scroll="no">
I don't want status bar -> ? need solution ?
I don't want toolbar bar -> ? need solution ?
I don't want menu bar -> ? need solution ?
I JUST want the title bar, address bar and the IE window.

In a web based form I am able to make sure that there is text in an input field but I want to restrict the user from using such characters as ~ # & '
How can I modify this JavaScript below to enable this ?
if (document.form1.ProjectTitle.value == ""){
alert("Please complete the Project Title: field")
document.form1.ProjectTitle.focus()
validFlag = false
return validFlag
}
When entering the project title into another system it issues an error when those characters are input - hence the need to delete them from the request.

Instead of searching and replacing unwanted character in strings using cgi/perl, I would like to prevent some characters from ever being typed in text boxes and textfields. Two characters I would like to stop are "|" (pipe symbol) and the "carriage return". I am not even sure how to search and/or replace a carriage return in a string anyway. This may be a JavaScript function, because what I would really like to do is send an alert to tell the user that it is not allowed.

If you have an anchor and apply the button widget, text selection in the button is still possible.

I have the following code I picked up which tries to fill in a text field with data depending on a user's menu item selection. I place this code in the header:
Code:
var colors = new Array();
colors["apple"] = "red";
colors["grape"] = "purple";
colors["milk"] = "white";
colors["cheese"] = "yellow";
colors["chicken"] = "white";
colors["beef"] = "red"; .....
var groups = new Array();
groups["apple"] = "fruit";
groups["grape"] = "fruit";
groups["milk"] = "diary";
groups["cheese"] = "diary";
groups["chicken"] = "meat";
groups["beef"] = "meat";
function printColorAndGroup(){
var value = document.getElementByName('food').options[document.getElementByName('food').selectedIndex].value;
document.getElementByName('food_group').value = groups[text];
document.getElementByName('food_color').value = colors[text];
}
I then use the following html in the body:
Code:
Food:
<select name="food" onchange="printColorAndGroup()">
<option>apple</option>
<option>grape</option>
<option>milk</option>
<option>cheese</option>
<option>chicken</option>
<option>beef</option>
</select>
Group:
<input type="text" name="food_group">
Color:
<input type="text" name="food_color">
But when I run this nothing happens...
Here's the page [URL]. None of the code above is colored... looks like I'm using the wrong tags here. Which tags should I use to post this stuff correctly?

I have 2 example/test pages of the issue I'm experiencing. For now, I'm just trying to get it to work in a standards-compliant browser, so view in something other than ie:
[URL]
If you click and drag the orange bar up or down, it works fine on the first page. However, on the 2nd page, if you click the orange bar and drag down too fast, it starts selecting text and then the bar gets all wacky.
My suspicion is that the bar gets messed up because the text is being selected. That occurs because if you scroll too fast, the cursor goes off the orange slider bar and starts selecting. If you scroll very slowly so that the cursor doesn't go off the bar it seems to scroll fine.
I've tried everything I can think of to stop the text from being selected, but I'm not 100% sure if that's the cause of the problem or just a symptom of something else (maybe bubbling or something?). I tried returning false on every mouse event on the lower panel, tried creating an absolutely-positioned mask above the text in the lower panel, tried removing all text from the lower panel, tried stopPropagation(), etc., but nothing seems to work.
If I set the mousedown/over/move on the lower panel to return false, it prevents selecting text normally by clicking the mouse & dragging, but it will STILL select the text if I click on the slider bar and drag down.

how to properly add some text content before and after a user's selection?I am working with the TinyMCE editor, and I can get the following from it:
* User's selection as a W3C compatible range
* User's selection as a browser selection object
* User's selection as a node (element) that encompasses the user's selection
I also need the user's selection to remain selected after being wrapped.I've looked all over the web and could find nothing (except running into my OWN previous questions about this).Here's an example of what I'm trying to do:
[URL]
First line is original text, second line a part is selected, third line the selection is wrapped and the selection remains selected.
