Get The Last Two Characters Typed Into A Textarea?
Oct 17, 2010
I am writing an HTML builder. On thing that I think would be helpful is if the user types in
="
A javascript adds another " for the user, but puts the cursor inbetween the two "'s. In other words, the javascript should assist users in writing HTML/Javascript codes. This may also be applied to < & >.
I have found this script that can get your position in a textarea. I also thought this might be of help:
Code:
var textarea = document.getElementById('code');
var tmp = textarea.value;
textarea.value = textarea.value.substring(0, textarea.selectionStart) + '"' + tmp + textarea.value.substring(textarea.selectionEnd);
Although I have tried, I have not been able to piece the scripts together.
I've a text box and a database table entry corresponding to the element. Now, I want to show suggestions as users keep on typing in the text box, the matching words from the database, similar to displaying friends as in facebook search.
I think I have what is a simple question: I would like a checkbox to be checked if it is not already when a user types in the text area beside it. Form layout is demo'd below.
<table> <tr> <td><input type="checkbox" name="box[1]" value = "x"></td> <td><textarea name="area[1]">
i wish to count number of characters in textarea box during typing in and display it somewhere in html page. so the number will increase during writing. is it possible to do it by javascript?

I am currently seeking help on how to best approach finding a solution to this. Essentially I have a textarea which a user is supposed to be typing a text based email message(no HTML) The textarea has a column width of 80 However there is a recommended width of 53 characters per line. Obviously the user can just keep on typing away past the 53 character recommended width if they want, but I want to add either a form button or a link with an onClick thatanalyzes the contents of the textarea. It should insert a hard return when it reaches 53 characters, but if the 53rd character is in the middle of a word it should count back to the previous space and do the line wrap there.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I assumed there has to a solution using jQuery, but I am at a loss. I did come across some javascript which works, but it doesn't take into account the fact that the 53rd character maybe in the middle of a word.
I have a script that limit characters and lines entered by users in a textarea.. I want instead of throwing that alert message to jump to the next line and the user can continue writing, here is the script:
<script type="text/javascript"> var alert_title='Input Restriction'; function limitTextarea(el,maxLines,maxChar){ if(!el.x){ el.x=uniqueInt(); el.onblur=function(){clearInterval(window['int'+el.x])} }window['int'+el.x]=setInterval(function(){ var lines=el.value.replace(/ /g,'').split(' .....
The HTML <textarea onFocus="limitTextarea(this,5,40)" wrap="soft">
I have a textarea with a specific width. I have wrap="off" set because I don't want to force my users to wrap if they don't want to. The reason for this is because this textarea is where the user is typing an email message. However I have a background image set on the textarea with a verticle line going down the textarea which indicates to the user the "Recommend Width"What I want to do is provide them with a link to click on which says something like "Wrap Lines" and when they click on it, the text within the textarea would wrap to the "Recommended Width" line in the background image. The maximum length of a line should be 53 characters when they click on "Wrap Lines" link.So I did some searching around and the code I came up with is:
Code: function showLines(max, text) { max--; text = "" + text; var temp = ""; var chcount = 0;
I'm working on creating a custom calculator to determine the amount of money / credits users may earn from referrals. I've tested onChange, and it will work only when I have changed to a new field or clicked off that field. How do I make this calculate live?
So if the current value is 5 and I change it to 6, it will automatically recalculate the new value.
You can see what I'm working on here:

Note: The one I'm testing is the 1st Level field. For now i'm just having it display the date.
My client has a training site that is associated with 4 different domains. If a user navigates away from one of the domains to another site (for instance google or msn) they want to display a message and ask them if they want meant to leave the training site. my understanding of the window.location.href is that it will not capture what is typed into the address bar until the request is submitted to the server but by then they are leaving the site. below is my code on the onbeforeunload event. concept: i want to capture the URL, compare the hostname and if the host name is one of the 4 domains then allow them to proceed if it is not then as them if they want to leave the site. if they click ok allow them to move forward, if the click cancel then reload the page. I know this is considered bad design and i have expressed this but this how they want the site to behave.
<script type="text/javascript"> function SiteCheck() { var strCurrentURL = window.location.href; var strNewHostName = strCurrentURL.split("/"); // for(i = 0; i < strNewHostName.length; i++) { alert(i + ' ' + strNewHostName[i]); } [Code]...
I want a script that "types" my text letter by letter and also deletes the text letter by letter. I want it to look as if someone is typing the text live, and then when the start of the text deletes (letter by letter), it would start from the beginning, erasing the letters in the same pace new letters are being "typed". So this way you would never see the whole text, but only a bit of it at a time. By the time you would get to the end of the text, the beginning wouldn't be there. And I don't want the text in a box!
My workplace has a lot of people doing manual entry. I'm looking to provide some friendly automatic formatting of data as they type it. I have working code (thus far) but I want to ensure I'm doing things in a sane way (there's a surprising amount you can do insanely that still works Here's a function below that transforms a phone number - the worker enters the digits(only), the field reflects (and could also accept) the fully formatted version (e.g. (123) 456-7890 ). I'm building this towards a plugin model (ala masked input with happy
I have a script that allows ONLY numbers to be typed into a text field. I have tried to modify this script to allow Decimals (periods) to be typed as well, but haven't succeeded. The code in Red are the changes I added to this script, but it isn't working out.
Second Problem: I need to set a Minimum number users may type in the text field. Normally this would be a simple task, but the minimum number they may type is a decimal (0.10). The default value in the field is .50. I tried replacing the .50 with .09, and I can't get the field to run the script and set its new value to .10 (<- this is the minimum). Here is the code I am working with.
is there a way to determine whether a user clicked on a link vs typed in the url to get to a page? I'm trying to stop users from messing with GET forms (and i have to use them, POST wouldn't make sense in this case).
I am having problems with the code below (obviously) coming up with illegal character for various characters within the field name which is: S_Gift Finder1_0
I have tried various ways of escaping the characters but to no avail.
I am unable to change the name of the field as it it comes from an external off-the-shelf package. Code ....
I have character counter for textarea wich counting the characters. Special character needs same place as two normal characters because of 16-bit encoding.
Counter is counting -2 when special character is added like some language specific char.
I'm trying to validate the text of an input as it is typed.I have this keyup:[code]The idea is that only let the user type a decimal number; and it does.The only problem is that it let type a dot [decimal separator I need] at the beginning; and I don't want that.I've been a while and searched Google for the Reg Exp, but had no luck.
I want to run a function when text is typed into an input field. So every time 1 character is put in it will process a function. However I do not know how to accomplish this. I tried the onchange attributed but that seems to only work when you unselect the input field.
how this might be accomplished? I'm also comfortable with jQuery if you think that's a better option.
