Caret Position In A Text Field
Jul 20, 2005I would like to determine where the current insertion point is in a text field.
Say I had a text field that held 80 characters. I would like to display to the
user the current position of the insertion point at any point in the field.
I have found the TextRange object and have found examples of how to insert text
at a particular location. I have not been able to find a way to return a
number depicting the current location of the cursor.

Mar 17, 2011I've been able to find for an editable HTML textarea for a WYSIWYG editor. It can save and restore the caret position. It works on FF3.5+, IE8, but does not work on Opera 11, Safari 5, or Chrome 10. Any ideas why? I'm just trying to find some code that works on FF3+, opera 10+, safari 5, chrome 8+, and IE7+.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSaving/restoring Caret Position In A ContentEditable Div
Feb 2, 2005I have a contentEditable element, and am using setTimeout() to call a function which changes the innerHTML of the div. Problem is that changing innerHTML moves the caret to the end of the text.
I need to keep the caret pos so the user can keep typing. I tried storing the caret pos with
cursorPos=document.selection.createRange().duplicate();
And then later restoring it with cursorPos.select() - which is IE only, but it doesn't work because the content of the div gets changed between calls, and the behavior is undefined (it basically selects everything) ...

View 6 Replies View RelatedInserting 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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedGet Position Of Current Click?
Aug 9, 2010I thought this would be pretty easy, but a Google search on it had a bunch of advanced things. I simply want to have an event response on a anchor tag that returns the position of the cursor onClick.
So:
<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="position()">here</a>
Where, when you click "here", you alert the position of the cursor (using screenX an screenY, if I read it right). But I'm seeing things about registering events to the .document, etc., but no easy solutions. The ones that look easy say that you need to "pass the event" through the function, but they never say how.

Denoting Current Position In Doc Without Using ID Attribute?
Nov 1, 2002I was wondering, let say I have the following HTML fragment:
<b>this is some text<b>
<span>This is some more text<span>
<script>
//my script here
</script>
and inside the script above, I wish to gain access to the elements and text above. Is it possible to do so without having to explicitly denote an ID attribute somewhere to use as the starting pointing? Something like:
currentposition.previousSibling //should return <span> tag
SetTimeout - Need To Check The Timer's Current Position
Sep 12, 2006I have a situation with setTimeout where I need to check the number of milliseconds remaining so that the program logic can decide whether to follow through with the operation or delay it a few more seconds.
Pretty much this is used to reduce lag on the user's end so that if they are in the middle of typing it won't execute the timed function unless they have stopped typing for a few seconds, making it safe to perform the operation (in the background) without interfering with their user experience.
In any event, there doesn't seem to be a native way to check the current progress or remaining millisecond count on a setTimeout. That is, unless I just haven't been able to find it.

Clear Text In Conditional Text Area When Radio Unchecked?
Sep 2, 2010I have a form setup so that selecting a radio button opens a specific text field. The problem is if the user starts to enter information, then switches to a different radio button (perhaps they chose the wrong radio to start), the text they already started to enter on the previous textfield doesn't get cleared. This will be a problem later when inserting to sql.
