Using "contentEditable" On Span And Auto-selecting On Click
Dec 1, 2009
I have contentEditable="true" on some span tags on my page. The idea is to allow admin users to edit content inline on the page without having to send them to a giant form page. When only using contentEditable="true" it works fantastically. You can click into the span and type away. Now, the admin users want the text to be selected in the span once they click into it or bring focus to it by tabbing. I'm using the following function onclick and onfocus to get this working:
Code:
function selectText(el)
{
var span = $(el);
// FIREFOX
if (Browser.Engine.gecko) {
var div = document.createRange();
div.setStartBefore(span);
[Code]...
I want to select the contents of a span in jquery. This is the html: <a href="?page=home&action=add&id={$film.film_id}"> <img src="images/shoppingcartButton.png" id="shoppingButton" alt="shoppingcartButton" title="shoppingcartButton"/> <span>{$film.film_id}</span></a>
The jquery I have is: lalala = ($('#shoppingButton span').text()); alert(lalala); But the result is empty.
I want to be able to post to a page, and one of the post values, auto selects one of the values in a drop-down box.So say i post a value 'Red' from a field called 'Colors' to a form, I would like 'Red' to be automatically selected in the 'Colors' select dropdown list.I am working with dropdown lists of many values, so need a way to automate this selection.
I am trying to add a class to my menu for the page it is currently on.
I followed this example: [url]
But I am not able to make it work at all.
Here is my HTML:
To make the nav element highlighted, the list item must have a class of 'hover' like this '<li class="hover">...'
And here is my jQuery:
The script is not applying any CSS to the list elements. I tried different combinations, tried to add a class to the a element by removing parent(), but nothing is triggering.
I don't know if this can be done in Javascript, or requires any other language but i was wondering if this would be possible.I would like to embed this Javascript code in to a PHP file and then for it to run automatically upon the PHP file loading:
I'm making an ajax call to my server and then, with the information I get back,ynamically creating HTML with jQuery, then appending it to my desired div. This part works excellently. The issue I'm having trouble with is I'm only returning five records, so I'm creating a span at the bottom labeled "see all", but even if I give that span a class,it's clearly not registering in the DOM because when I click it, my jQuery code doesn't even know it's there.My question: How do I get those dynamically generated elements to register in my DOM so they can be called by a jQuery click event?I realize that I can just do an inline javascript call to my function and that works fine(ish). The problem is, however, I want specific information about the particular span that I click, and if I call it inline, it doesn't send $(this) to my function... it recognizes $(this) as $(window), not as $(span that I clicked)
I'll have a button in page ... and when i click it .. content of a div
tag has to be get selected (i.e what we normally do with mouse to selecting some part of a page).. then i can do CTRl+C to copy the selected div content.. to paste it in MS Word or in any other external application..
i ve tried the select + copy + paste sequence with the use of temporary text area element to store the innerHTML of Div tag and copied to Clipboard. but while pasting the selected content in MS word it appears like the textual tags not html formatted.. but when u do the
same with mouse clicks and drags u get the formatted pasting in ms word. why? is it possible to just let to user to select a div while clicking a button, pressing ctrl+c to copy and paste the content in another application(ms word etc)?.
I know how to do a select/deselect all function. Where I'm having issues is with a select some function. I am querying a database to come up with a list of companies. I then query the database to come up with individual names/email addresses associated with each company. (Individuals can appear under under multiple companies, and I need this to continue.) The checkbox name must remain the same from individual to individual.
What I want to happen: When I click on a name that appears multiple times, I want all related checkboxes to then be checked; also, if I uncheck one, all should then uncheck. What I've been trying: Each record for John Doe has the same id name (not a must, but I thought this would make it easier. Though I don't think it is necessary, I am including a snippet below:
Again, if I select/deselect someone from any Company, I want all of their related check boxes to follow suit. If there is a better use of id records, I'm all for it.
In jQuery, how to select a parent element to a child if I attached a click event on the parent but also want a click event on a child within.
Let's say I have a the following code :
HTML Code:
There may be several of those classes in the page. I then use jQuery to replace the inner HTML to the clickclass div when clicked on with some other code and a input button (with an ID of, let's say 'save_button').
This works fine for that part:
HTML Code:
I then want to have the button clickable so that I can replace again the HTML in the div (like a save button). But if I try a separate event listener on the input button, it also fires the parent event. Even if I return false on the child event or use event.stopImmediatePropagation() in the .click child function.
I've managed to almost get it with the following code :
HTML Code:
If the event is triggerd form 'clickclass', then replace with HTML + input button
The problem is that whenever I try using .parent() with jQuery, it always tells me that parent() is not a function. I've tried various other ways of getting the parent object (the clickclass div) but can't get it to work.

Does a contentEditable DIV have the notion of an internal document? I'm trying to convert code that uses an IFrame.contentWindow.document to use the "document" inside a contentEditable DIV but they don't seem to be similar beasts. Eventually I want to add stylesheets to the contentEditable DIV as well as event handling. I'm porting an IFrame editor to a contentEditable DIV based editor.
I have a contenteditable div, it has some paragraphs in it.Assuming a situation, when I click the button "set caret position", the main div will focus, the caret will start at position number 8 of second paragraph, which means the caret will appear after the word "draw".How would you do it?
I have a problem with auto click function jQuery.I use jQuery menu EXAMPLE- (firstmenu) - its good,but I need use auto click toHeader-1 (div block<div id="CLICK" class="menu_body">)and to open a menu with Link-1,Link-2,Link-3
I really don't know what I am doing, but I need to know how to alter this script to load this website without having to click "Weathersentry online". I would like to double click on the icon the code is attached to and it sign in automatically.

I'm in the process of working on a page that uses layers and iFrames in conjunction with javascript and <div> layers. The problem I'm hoping to solve with your help is that I implemented onclick="this.className='stylesheetstyle'" in the <a href> tag and so therefore when users click the links, the text becomes bold. However since I'm using multiple frames on a page, this makes it look odd when the user back tracks and clicks a different link in the frame. Is it possible using JavaScript to have a users input on click of link unbold the previously clicked link?In short:
Click link -> link goes bold move forward.... click another link (different frame) -> go forward
After all, there is some difference in the way we 'click' using our mouse at some place in the document, and what can be achieved by the dispatchEvent "click" in Firefox. We have a page, which has two iFrames on whole. Left frame having a table of clickable email subjects, and right frame showing the entire body of the selected email. The problem is, the clickable area on the subject is too small, making it a pain to click each email to see its body. So I implemented a way of navigating through them using keyboard in the parent page(using key handlers in Javascript). The problem is, when we load the page for first, the navigation works fine, since the focus is on the parent page. But as soon as someone clicks on any area on the two iFrames, the key handlers don't work because they are in the parent page, not in that frame.
I noticed that when I click on any area outside the two frames, it works again. Idea : "Why not do a setTimeOut or setInterval sort of thing, which just sits and keeps on clicking on a place outside the frames"? Good idea, but doesn't work. Why? Is installing the same kind of key handlers in both the frames the only other way? Even setting focus on an element on the parent page doesn't work.
I'm using a div with contenteditable=true, and I need to know where the caret is for operations like splitting the html contents of that div where the caret is. Ultimately, if a piece of text is selected, I'll want to split that html content on the selection start / end.jCaret only seems to work for textareas.Is this possible in a div?
I have some jQuery which I used on a site a couple of years ago. It basically loads some content into a DIV, which can be rotated using a .click function.I'd like to use the same code again, and I have got it working, but instead of having to click a link with a specific ID, I'd like it to automatically run every 4 seconds.
Here is my code:
var $j = jQuery.noConflict(); $j(function(){ var offset = 5;
