JQuery :: Get Id(or Text) Of A Div That Is Dropped After Dragging?
Jan 26, 2011I am working on implementing a dynamic drag-and-drop sortable jquery to php/mysql function in my app. I am following the tutorial here: [URL] I've got most of it figured out. The only problem is that it is not updating the mysql table correctly. It takes the orderID of the div that was dropped and sets it equal to the spot where it was dropped. As you can guess, that is a problem, because there is already an item with that orderID. So I need a way to grab the ID or even the text of the div that was dropped and pass it to that PHP script. And then I could reorder all the orderID's between the one grabbed and the spot where it was dropped.
Here is the existing Jquery code:
$(function() {
$("#eventBoxes").sortable({ opacity: 0.6, cursor: 'move', update: function() {
var order = $(this).sortable("serialize") + '&action=updateRecordsListings';
$.post("updateDB.php", order, function(theResponse){

View 1 Replies View RelatedCan't Stop Text Selection When Dragging Object
Jun 16, 2009I have 2 example/test pages of the issue I'm experiencing. For now, I'm just trying to get it to work in a standards-compliant browser, so view in something other than ie:
[URL]
If you click and drag the orange bar up or down, it works fine on the first page. However, on the 2nd page, if you click the orange bar and drag down too fast, it starts selecting text and then the bar gets all wacky.
My suspicion is that the bar gets messed up because the text is being selected. That occurs because if you scroll too fast, the cursor goes off the orange slider bar and starts selecting. If you scroll very slowly so that the cursor doesn't go off the bar it seems to scroll fine.
I've tried everything I can think of to stop the text from being selected, but I'm not 100% sure if that's the cause of the problem or just a symptom of something else (maybe bubbling or something?). I tried returning false on every mouse event on the lower panel, tried creating an absolutely-positioned mask above the text in the lower panel, tried removing all text from the lower panel, tried stopPropagation(), etc., but nothing seems to work.
If I set the mousedown/over/move on the lower panel to return false, it prevents selecting text normally by clicking the mouse & dragging, but it will STILL select the text if I click on the slider bar and drag down.

Highlighting Text With Cursor ?
Nov 10, 2011I'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).

Mar 4, 2003I need to control the cursor position in a textbox to do this, does anyone know how to place the cursor in the textbox at a particular position
The functionality I am looking for...
Excel provides data entry help based on previous entries i.e. if in a previous cell in a column I entered "Jim Bob" then the next cell I type a "J" Excel provides help by showing "Jim Bob" in a way that allows me to pick it or keep typing. This is the kind of functionality I am trying to get using JS.
In the code below I create an array of previous entries by the user over the last 45 days this all comes from a DB but that's not important here. When the user enters a key in the textbox I can pop the text box with a matching value from the array, only up to the chars entered.
The Problem or Question:
Is there a way to place the curser back into the last position and highlight the remaining part of the match from the array?
This is really hard to explain but if you ever used Excel you may have an idea of what I am trying to do. Code:

Inserting Text Into A Div At The Current Cursor Position?
Sep 9, 2009In IE it is a simple matter of: range.text += text; but I am having great difficulty figuring it out for FF.I have looked online for hours but the only solutions that I can find are to do with inserting text into textareas which supply you with nice 'selectionStart', 'selectionEnd' properties. Using a textarea would be useless for my purposes and a div element does not have such properties. An implementation in this case I am thinking would rely solely on the range object for the necesary selection / cursor position information, but I cannot figure out how to do this using the FF/W3C Range object.What I'm basically doing is trying to enable the user to paste unformatted (plain) text into a contenteditable zone for a WYSIWYG editor. I have got it working in IE, but FF is a whole other kettle of fish for this particular issue.
