Cursor At Begining Of Textarea On Tab

Jul 13, 2010

The script sets the cursor position in the textarea at the begining of text. The textarea is already filled with text and I need to edit it, so I can start editing from the top. The scripts work fine.<textarea rows=15 cols=100 name='POST' onfocus='setSelRange(document. multiupdate.POST, 0, 0)' />The problem is that I have multiple textareas with names like POST[$i] in the same form. Multiple textarea being submitted to PHP script as an array. So now when I call the function in different textboxes, it doesn't work.

How to overcome these textarea names with square brackets [] in it?I am a complete newbie when it comes to javascript and have taken this function from another site.

Finding The Position Of The Cursor In A Text Box & Rich Formated <textarea>

Feb 16, 2006

Question 1
----------------
I am writing an advanced BBCode system for my forums and I would like
to be able to find where the cursor was positioned last in the text so
I could insert the BBCode there.

Question 2
----------------
Again I am writing an advanced BBCode system for my forums and I would
like to make is so that when someone puts in a [b] tag it goes bold, so
kind of a WYSIWYG editor and also for other things like [img] tags and
[url] tags. So could someone tell me how to do that. I would preferably
like it to still use the textarea tag, or at least a form component so
my existing code works.

Cursor Type

Jul 20, 2005

I have a problem changing the cursor type with javascript. I have a
button with an mouseover effect (change of color and cursor type). It
works fine in Netscape 7.x and IE 6.x but not in IE 5.5 I'm using the
following script:

function change(element,mode) {
if (mode=="in") {
cursortype = 'pointer'
colorval = '#FF491B'
} else if (mode=="out") {
cursortype = ''
colorval = '#F47240'
}
element.style.cursor=cursortype;
element.style.background=colorval;
}

The error I'm getting with IE 5.5 is "cursor type not defined..." or
something but the pointer is supposed to work even with IE 4.x

Does anybody has a solution for this problem?

Safari, Key[down|up] With Cursor Keys

Jul 28, 2005

I'm writing some stuff where I wish to allow the cursor keys to control
elements in a page. This has not been a problem except with Safari
which appears to duplicate the keydown and keyup events which are fired
when the cursor keys are pressed. I.e. pressing and releasing say, K,
results in one keydown event followed by one keyup event. Press any of
the cursor keys results in two keydown events followed by two keyup
events.....

Highlighting Text With Cursor ?

Nov 10, 2011

I'm trying to write a function that is similar to the ctrl+f functionality you get in IE, where you have a search string and when you click 'next' the whole string if matched is highlighted by the cursor.

This works fine for inputs and text areas using the following code:

But now I need to get it to work for normal text in a text node that is in the HTML/DOM. Is there an equivalent way of making the above method work for text in text nodes?

Alternatively is there a way to make the browser (IE) at least focus on some text in a text node? (I could then highlight it with CSS styles).

Detecting The Cursor Position

Feb 6, 2008

I have created a nice blog form for my users and I would like them to be able to use some aspects of HTML code that I have styled and they can utilise. The way I have this set up at the moment is, much like th reply boxes here, they can click on a button and the code (such as ) is automatically added to the textarea. The problem I have at the moment is that the cursor goes to the end of the content written so far and places whatever they have clicked at the end. I would like to be able to detect the cursor position and then they can add the various tags where they want them.

Also, is there a way I can get the cursor to automatically sit between the opening and closing tags that are generated (as can be seen here)??

function writeCodeTag(code) {
var cache = document.getElementById('f').article.value;
this.code = code;
document.getElementById('f').article.value = cache + code;
document.getElementById('f').article.focus();
}

This function adds the various code tags to the textarea... I have the same sort of thing for smilies.

Position Of Cursor In DesignMode?

Jun 23, 2005

I'm creating a text editor in the browser.

If the user presses enter and their cursor is in the middle of a <p>, i want to insert a <br> tag. If their cursor is at the end of the <p> tag's innerHTML, then i want to insert a new <p> tag.

I can insert both tags as I need, but I can't find a way to get the position of the cursor relative to its containing tag (just assuming there's no other markup in the <p>'s innerHTML, so that selection.parentElement() will return the <p> tag).
