I am wondering if it is at all possible to create a button that--when
clicked--grabs a paragraph of text that a user has highlighted. So you
go to this website, then highlight a section of text. Once you have
the text selected with you mouse, you then click the button. The
button executes a function which acquires the selected text in a
string. Is this hypothetical situation possible? Thank you for the
time it took to read this post.
I have many divs with spans inside(just like it is below-no extra ids,classes for spans:
[...]
<div>
<span style="color:red;">a</span>
<span style="color:blue;">b</span>
<span style="color:white;">c</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color:red;">d</span>
<span style="color:blue;">a</span>
<span style="color:white;">a</span>
</div>

What I would like to achieve: user selects with mouse "ab", click button(input type=button) which remove style from selected span/spans. Similar behavior like it is in TinyMCE.
It needs to allow the user to highlight some text within a paragraph. If the correct text (with an error) is selected it should provide feedback that the user has correctly selected this text.
So what I need to do is
1. Get the text selection
2. Compare this text selection to a predefined answer
3. Provide feedback to the user e.g. they are correct if text selection = predefined answer, and incorrect if text selection != predefined answer
I know this can be done with form elements but I'm curious if this can be done with headers.

I need to know if the "end" position is before the "start" position or after. Using ranges and selection objects seems to "normalise" the selection so that the start is before the end.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a navbar numbered 1 thru 6 for a slider. You can see it here. [URL]. Is there a way to have the current navigation number share the rollover state? In other words, if I slide to #4 then the actual navbar #4 displays in a different color until I navigate away from it. I originally thought that this would be a simple CSS thing, but that idea went more towards javascript 'test'. Then I wondered if there might be a plug-in for this sort of thing.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am messing around with Google Maps a little and the fundamental difficulty in building anything useful is extrapolating address information from another website. I would like to be able to use a form like yahoo yellow pages send it a zip code and get back a bunch of, say, banks in that zip code and parse the address out. Some things, very few, actually return data in the XML format, but how do you write a script that send a request to a website and then returns that request as a DOM object. I'll even take HTML and then I'll parse it out myself, but how do you do that.
I know it sounds fundamental, but I'm a real beginner in this, so if you can push me in the right direction I would appreciate it too.
