Create A Chrome Extension That Can Pass Text From A Text Box To A Webpage Text Box
Feb 19, 2010
I am trying to create a chrome extension that can pass text from a text box to a webpage text box. Basically my company has an intranet site where you can search for an employee. The url does not display the search terms so i cant just append to it. Since I cant really work on this outside of work (its an intranet site) i have tried replicating it from home using the let me google that for you (www.lmgtfy.com) site.
I want to use the values of text boxes on my HTML webpage to create a webpage URL (like below):
<script type="text/javascript">
My text boxes are as follows:
Now this all works and the result webpage URL prints to id='ID1', but the big question is how do I use this resulting URL in another Javascript section as the src="?
Is it possible to have a text box input searching for the entered text on another webpage in the same way Find In Page would do? I have a webpage that I want users to input an item, and that this will open the targeted webpage and bring you to (and highlight) the matched item(s) like find in page does. Is this possible or is the easiest way to just make users open the link to the target page and just complete the find in page search there?
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:
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 have a form with 9 text fields and a text area. What I want to do is replace the text in the text area depending on how many fields contain text. For example my text boxes are named 1 to 9, if the user enters text in the first five boxes I want the text area to auto fill with 'you have selected boxes 1 to 5' if the user selects all nine it will say 'you have selected 1 to 9', therefore, the user must complete the text boxes in order. I have it working with an onchange event but i have a button on the form to also auto fill the text boxes and it does not work if this is clicked
As of right now I have a code that will work in IE but wont work in FireFox...go figure. Basically what I want to have happen is when you type in an area code it will provide an output in a predetermined area of the page.
For Example: Input- 512 Output - Austin, TX
The code that I have doesn't work with firefox and I was just wondering if there was a code that would allow that to happen.
Would u pls let me know whether the following is possible or not: User can be able to insert text on a text-box or text-area(form) as usually we use text-area to do so. But I want to put some readonly text using an open and close tag
for example: <ro>This is readonly text</ro>insert your text here Can I be able to make the text inside <ro>..</ro> tag readonly, it means user can't be able to modify or delete this readonly text. readonly text length not fixed. only way to recognize the readonly text is the <ro> tag.
I have a text field (field1) already displayed on the HTML page. However, there's a link where you can add additional text fields to the page as well. When the link is clicked, the second text field is added successfully (field2), and when the link is clicked again, the third text field (field3) is added successfully. However, the third field does not add itself to the page, and the text for anything greater than a third field also isn't displayed after. This obviously means that my "fields" variable is not working right
There is a Text Area that user can enter text. assume that user enter something and put a dot Following values should be populate in a drop down at the place where dot locate .
like when we get the string object using Net Beans IDE and when we put "Object." , drop down will be displayed with available methods for that particular object. idea is to build a editor using java script.
How would I access the source of a webpage? I would like to get the source, then use a regexp to find text on a webpage. For example, retrieving a counter, or some other text that dynamically changes. I'm implementing this for firefox.
right now, i have a web page opening that contains that info, but i would rather have a pop up alert() that shows that info.
For a personal project, I want to see if I can make a Greasemonkey userscript (or eventually a Firefox add-on) to list how far a certain ad on Craigslist is from where the user is (by the city listed beside the ad). My question is really just looking for ideas on how I can parse out the city's from the webpage text (with javascript or some other language?). Not even sure if this is possible.
The city's or ads aren't their own div elements or anything (nothing can ever be so simple) - but the city's listed are formatted by <font size="-1"></font>, and each ad is in it's own paragraph tag.. maybe I can use that somehow?
I have a script to copy the text in a textarea, but the script seems to work only in IE and Firefox. I need it to work in Chrome
Code: function copyit(){ document.getElementById("area").focus(); document.getElementById("area").select(); var copytext = document.getElementById("area").value;
I'm trying to write a macro, but I'm lost. So say if I have an array of keywords to check for on a web page, var keywords=new Array(); keywords[0]="You are a cat"; keywords[1]="Are you a robot"; keywords[2]="Have a good summer"; How would I make a function that checks the currently opened web page for one of the specific keywords. And if that keyword is found, then execute some action - and if not, then execute some other action?
The red part of the code below doesn't work correctly, but I hope it shows what I want. Code: <html><body> <div id="container" style="float:left;"> my<br> dynamic<br> contents </div> <script type=text/javascript> var container = document.getElementById('container'); var containerHeight = container.clientHeight; if (containerHeight >= 100) { dispaly("big sideBanner"); } else if (containerHeight > 50 && containerHeight < 100) { display("middle sideBanner"); } else { display("small sideBanner"); } </script></body></html>
I like to display "big sideBanner" on the webpage if containerHeight is 100 or containerHeight is more than 100 and "middle sideBanner" if containerHeight is more than 50 and containerHeight is less than 100 and "small Banner" if containerHeight is less than 50. How can I make it work?
When I try and do this in IE it works fine but when I do it in Chrome, it cuts off some of the text. There is a footer below this. IE expands the page properly but Chrome doesn't.
I am trying to place text output from a url on another webpage.The output is the status of an alarm system.hash and mac info remove for security reasons.I would like to place these three outputs on another page.
I created a web page having textbox and an update button. My need is to display data in the text box when page is loaded. After that when I click on the textbox it will become an input textbox and can enter data. when data entered completely, click on the update button, after that newly entered data must be displayed on the text box. i.e same text box will be used for input and output data.
I created my web page using html. I knew that, by using ajax i can implement the above functionality. but i didn't get any idea to write the code.
I've written a function to change the font, this is working in IE but not in FF or Chrome. No errors come up in Firebug. Once this is working in both browsers I will change the function to gradually increase the size of the font to make it look as if the font is growing. This is why I haven't just assigned a class to the text. URL of the site with the script is [URL]
I can't figure out the code to perform this task. I need to change the menu's text color with a mouseover on a webpage. The menu consists of 7 text links. Each one is a different color. The mouseover is to change the text link to orange while the other 6 menu items change to purple.
can a web parser differentiate between static and dynamic text on a webpage? for example there is a string on a webpage Hello "Fantastic Four"In this "Hello" is a static data and "Fantastic Four" is a dynamic data (say being populated form a database value)Is it possible for web parser to detect whcih is a static and dynamic content?
