I found this code on some web site which actually works on my current Safari browser. I will be grateful if anyone out there with IE version 8 or less can verify it working as well.
Basically I wanted to highlight some text with mouse drag, and have that piece of text wrapped with [high] at the beginning and [/high] at the end.

I've got a form with a textarea box, currently you can just type a message in the box and submit it, then it is added to a mysql database and shows up on a page I made for people to view staff memos.
I've been asked to add formatting options like bold, italic, underline etc. Unfortunately me and javascript have never really met so I'm quite stumped. I can handle the form processing with PHP converting [b] to <strong> etc myself but I need help with the actual user interface.
I'm trying to 'wrap tags' around text in a text box.
<script language=javascript>
function insertFauxTags(fauxTag, e, endFauxTag)
{
var e = document.frmAddNewForum.txtTopicMessage.selected;
document.frmAddNewForum.txtTopicMessage.Value += fauxTag + e + endFauxTag;
}
</script>
And my form:
<form runat="server" id="frmAddNewForum">
<asp:textbox id="txtTopicMessage" runat="server" cssclass="formtext" rows="5" textmode="MultiLine" width="95%" style="width:95%"></asp:textbox>
</form>
And here's how I'm calling the function:
<a href="javascript:insertFauxTags('[p]' + e + '[/p]')"><img src="http://www.<%=strSiteName%>/images/parabutton.gif" border="0" alt="Paragraph" /></a>
When I run this in FF I get 'e' is not defined - any ideas?
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).

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got an unordered lists. I need to make the numbers larger (ordered lists numbers) and keep the text in the list at the same size. So what I was assuming I need to do is make the <li> font-size larger (the size I want the unordered list number to be), then wrap the text with a <span> and make the <span> smaller. I'm using a CMS and since the client will be modifying the text in the CMS, I can't exactly tell them to put <span> text, blah, blah</span> in the unordered lists as they won't figure that out. So how would I write the jQuery to wrap the text in the unordered lists with a span? Currently the output is like so:
<ol>
<li>Item One</li>
<li>Item Two</li>
</ol>

View 7 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to tell if the text in a text box has been selected forwards or backwards?If you select some text from left to right and then hold down shift and use the cursor keys the right end of the selection moves. If you select some text from right to left and then hold down shift and use the cursor keys the left end of the selection moves.Is there a way in Javascript to detect which way the text has been selected? I need to know if the "end" position is before the "start" position or after. Using ranges and selection objects seems to "normalise" the selection so that the start is before the end.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm working with an XML feed that I'm displaying using XSLT. Everything is working great except for 1 thing. One of the nodes that I'm using has a bunch of data in it that I need to split into separate divs for the design. jQuery should work wonderfully for it, but my problem is that in the data I'm supplied there is a string that *should* have a <p></p> around it, but it doesn't. So therefore I have no idea how to select it.[code]

How to unselect the text after the text was copied?
I have a textarea and some buttons. The buttons apply functions to
the text the user selects, i.e. the good old "wrap with a tag"
thing we all have seen in 100 different editors.
Trouble is, when I click the button, the selected text gets
unselected. Select some text in the textbox and click -anywhere-
and the text unselects.
