I would like to ask is it posible to add text from a text file to a text area on a page..
Philp if you read this i am not asking for a javascript code i am asking wether or not it can be done.
P.s if your a nice person like philp is not and you want to private message me if you have one
I have some Javascript which says this:
Now that is fine when the text is only one line long. Suppose it's longer? What I want to do is have Javascript give the variable contentString its text from a hosted text file in a similar manner to the way Javascript can insert more Javascript using a hosted .js file.
I illustrate what I need to do using some "dummy" javascript:
I am creating a small CMS module for a client. I created a little form and when they click Submit, it goes straight out into an include (.inc) file, which is connected to the web page to be displayed.
The trouble I am having is that I'd like to create an additional button that will insert some text (certain html tags to make their life easier, etc) - I got it to work, actually. The script executes and the text is inserted - but once the script runs and the page refreshes (or whatever it does), the text then disappears. The only way I can seem to get it to stay put is when I use "onmouseup" instead of "onclick" - which means that every time the user accidentally mouses over the thing, it inserts the text.
What I need to do is create a simple wiki editor. A user will be able to type <html> code and click submit. onclick a new window will appear with the html page that they typed
My problem is I am grabbing the textarea by its Id but when it opens the new window it is displaying the Id of the textarea, not the actual information inserted into it.
[Code]...
I try to created a function to (Add Text into <textarea>), but the problem is that if I click on the button again it keeps adding " - New Text" again and again, while it suppose to be stopped and be added only once.

How do I append a character, to where the text cursor is, in a textarea?
I would like to do this so users could add special characters to their comments (like this one: ♥. this is my code:

Does anyone know if its possible to left-justfy text in a <textarea>? I can do left justify with a simple style declaration, but can't find any reference anywhere to a left justify as can be done.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there any way that I can make a textarea wrap in firefox? I've tried this:
calculateLines: function(text){
text = text.split('
').join('');
temp = '';
chcount = tchs = c= 0;
[Code]...
End result: I want to have buttons along the top of a textarea which will be used to add tags around highlighted text / the text curser thingy. (Basically it will be an edit box like the I am using now to make this post).
Problem at the moment: I want to reference the var to use in the function. e.g.
function addtext(id) {
var al = "<div style="text-align:left;"></div>";
document.myform.outputtext.value += id;
}
"id" will be defined as "al" in the HTML onclick function, I want this to use "var al" where it says ".value += id;".
HTML:
<form name="myform">
<textarea name="inputtext">Type Here
I'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.
i'm trying to set text in a textarea but it's not working.

Can you pick out just the text that a user has selected in a TextArea using
JS?
I have a webpage I've been working on and it utilizes jQuery Autoscroll. You can view it here [URL]
I'm having a problem and I can't figure it out.
I have a text area. I can put text into it and it will scroll. However, when I go to File>new window to create a new identical but separate webpage the text which I just typed into the autotext area doesn't get copied over. Everything else does. Why is that? How can I fix it so that it will copy over.
Is this a JQuery issue or is it more of an html issues.
I am trying to take text that is in a <DIV></DIV> and insert it into a <TEXTAREA> tag. in CHROME the line breaks are preserved however in IE I lose all my line breaks.
$("#serviceEdit-notes").val($(this).next().html());
#serviceEdit-notes : the TEXTAREA
$(this) is a 'A' linkprecedingthe DIV
Like I said, it works in CHROME, but in IE(8 or 9) I lose my line breaks.
I've been trying to change the text in a textarea element to no avail. I'm using the following to change the text:
$(inlineEditor.CurrentEditCollection).find('#resource_description').each(function(){
this.val(vals.value);
});
vals.value contains the text. The Textarea element is in a TD in a TR that is contained in inlineEditor.CurrentEditCollection
The selector seems to find the element just fine but the text will not change.
I'm having a problem. What I'm basically trying to accomplish is a quote function on a forum. When I click the quote button, I want the text for that specific forum post to end up in the textarea field.
<textarea cols='1' rows='1' title='Reply to this post' id='entryField' name='entryField' style="width: 100%;" class='expand20-200'>
I'm looking to get some code so that if the user clicks a textarea for the first time after the page loads, the text clears out, else if he types some text, navigates away, comes back and then clicks again, it does not vanish.
And oh, I'm trying to find something other than what I already wrote:
JavaScript Code:
onClick="if(document.form1.tarea.value=='Click here to make this text disappear and begin writing.') document.form1.tarea.value='';"
onClick="if(document.form1.tarea.value=='Click here to make this text disappear and begin writing.') document.form1.tarea.value='';"
I have a dropdownbox with values. When the user selects a value and presses the button [add], this value is added to the textareabox. Now I like to create a function that will remove the selected value from the same dropdownbox from the textareabox when the user presses a button [remove]. Currently I check if the textareabox is empty and set the value from the dropdown to the textareabox. If it is not empty, it will add the value + a linebreak ( )
Example:
<Select name="A">
<option value="" selected>select</option>
<option value="123, xy; ">123, xy</option> (notice the space at the end after the [;] !)

I have a simple website with 2 Frames,In top frame I have a button that invokes CGI script and internally that CGI script prints info (text) into the bottom frame.Going further we want to print the output coming from CGI into a textarea object in bottom form.
I have a function in my CGI script:But ends up printing multiple textarea objects in lower frame.We want to print each line of text into the same textarea object in lower frame. and at the end display a new button.How can we do this using javascript/CGI?I tried the following but not displaying anything.

my($message1, $message2) = @_;
my $final_message = $message1 . " " . $message2;

I searched about this problem over Internet and found the same result many times, I found this example on stackoverflow [URL] but this example didn't work in my project; I am making a toolbar with buttons that insert HTML tags around the selected text in a <textarea>, this exemple didn't work because when the user click on a button the selected text won't be selected anymore because <textarea> loses focus and selected text will be unselected, I am targeting Firefox and compatible browsers so you don't need to give me the IE code; jQuery codes are accepted;
