Adding Text To Textarea - Create An Additional Button That Will Insert Some Text - Certain Html Tags
Mar 10, 2010
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.
I am trying to truncate some text within a 'span' in order to create a 'more/less' button to show/hide the additional. I effectively want to turn this:
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 want to have some text in an html file, but I don't want to have several paragraphs in that file. Can I use Javascript to insert text from a different location? If so, how do I do that?Can it really be impossible? I mean, you do it with pictures all the time... I just want to do it with text instead...I can't post any code because I don't know how to do it. >_>" I've been trying to find stuff online, but most of that was to put a whole window inside it, with scrollbars and stuff.
I have a text area that I want to add simple html formatting buttons to.The user should be able to:- highlight text and click a 'bold' button- highlight text and click 'itallic' button- Add bulleted list- LinkI've looked at a number of WYSIWYG javascript examples, but they seem to accept Microsoft Word formatting, which I dont want
I have some auto-generated code in a similar format to this:
<li class="item"> <a class="link1" href="#">Post Title</a> Text I want to remove <div class="content">
[Code].....
I want to select the line of text ("Text I want to remove" - with no HTML tags around it) and hide it using CSS (or remove it all together, if I can). I have tried using insertAfter to put a start <span> tag at the start of the line, and insertBefore to close the </span> tag at the end of the line (so I can apply CSS display:none; to it), but clearly JQuery doesn't work like that.
Is there another way to get rid of this line of text?
I want to display the content of textarea with html parsed eg. how gmail /yahoo displays its mail contents with all the images loaded, with all the links with hypertext parsing the html. Is there any way to display the same.

So that the result would beonsectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat volutpat.
I need to have an alert message that has an exponent in it. The only problem is, the built in "sup" function javascript has merely surrounds the text with HTML <sup> tags, and sadly, they do not work in alert messages. Is there any way to convert normal strings into superscript in a way that works with alerts?
I need to parse an an HTML page and pull what ever values are in these JavaScript tags. There will usually be multiple tags with different values between the single quotes. The value in the next example I need to pull into my array would be 'A728'. Here is an example code..
I'm trying to select a line a text and format it, only problem is there are no tags around it other than a closing </p> tag and a <br /> tag after it. Please see below the line in bold text which I'm trying to surround with <h3></h3> tags. [code]...

<script language=javascript> function insertFauxTags(fauxTag, e, endFauxTag) { var e = document.frmAddNewForum.txtTopicMessage.selected; document.frmAddNewForum.txtTopicMessage.Value += fauxTag + e + endFauxTag; } </script>
