I am trying to work out if this is possible: I have some html/text that I want to break apart into different elements (div tags), only one div tag should be visible/shown and at the bottom of the element are the number of "pages" (01/02/03/04...), each of these "pages" is actually just the next div element, the user can click on the "page number" so they can move to the next element (hidden initially) by using javascript to change which element should be displayed. Clicking on the the "page" will bring up that particular chunk of text. The div element is a specific size (width and height), and thats why only a certain amount of text can fit into it. These elements will be created dynamically from a database.
Right now I can do this by either manually forcing the user to break the text apart themselves by entering the text/html using multiple WYSIWYG editor text areas and giving them a rough amount of characters they can use and/or only allowing a certain amount of characters per textarea....Another alternative I thought of was to use php cut up the text into pieces and place them into divs by counting the number of characters based on the which font is theoretically being employed (I have a javascript script to detect if a particular font is available - how reliable it is I have yet to determine). But I was hoping that there was a solution in javascript to automatically detect when the text overflows and generate/change the number of divs, split the html/text up into the correct number of pieces and RE-generate the internal div page numbers (01/02/03/04...).
I guess there a number of problems with this idea that may stop it from being practical, such as which browser is being used, which font is being used and how the user has their text size set on their browser window... and probably other things I am not thinking of. I was hoping that by detecting if the text overflowed something could be done, but perhaps it is too complicated? Is there something out there that can do this? Is it possible? Perhaps too there are other solutions to the problem, either ones that are already out there or one that has to be built from scratch? I guess in the end my question is, is there a cleaner way of breaking the text apart in javascript by using overflow or something similar than doing it by counting characters with a server-side language?
how I might use JavaScript to detect the overflow of text in a DIV. Currently, I have the CSS set to Code:
overflow:auto
However, having scroll bars are pretty tacky. Instead, I'd like to be able to detect the overflow, which would then add a small <a href> link that says "More."
How to detect/prevent it? I found the following through google, but is not working. This goes into the page containing the external source iframe.
Code JavaScript: window.onbeforeunload = function (evt) { var message = 'Are you sure you want to leave?';
[Code]....
Something I would like to point out, as I seen such responses in most google results regarding this... something along the lines of "you shouldn't be showing external content that you do not own."
I shouldn't be using an external site within iframe? yes, I should! why? I would have consent from the author. But this check is necessary because I can't tell otherwise if the author added that iframe breaker after manual site verification.
I'm currently building a website that has a flash fullscreen popup at the beginning. The flash popup loads fullscreen, therefor I've set overflow-y to hidden. As soon as the flash popup is done, it removes the div it the flash is in using javascript, but I can't figure out how to put the overflow-y to visible.
I'm assuming I need to build a Javascript function to show overflow-y visible, and then need to call to that function from the flash file. I just can't figure out how to build the javascript function since I suck at javascript.
All the CSS is in the original file, so not in an external stylesheet, this needs to stay that way because I have to implement the code in to several different web sites.
I want to test if I get a overflow in a fixed sized div and in that case add 'overflow:scroll' to the div. I guess there is a way to check if a generated contents (from PHP) will create an overflow but how?
Say I have a text area. When the user clicks a button the entered text displays in a DIV. If there's too much text to fit in that DIV then the overflow text (the text that doesn't fit in the first DIV) displays in an adjacent DIV.
Is there a way to know if there's "overflowing" text and, if there is, if there a way to know what that text is?
I have a width limited box on a website that contains text. Normally the text will break across several lines as expect just fine. However, every now and then there is a really long word that breaks out of the box:
Code: |--------------------------| | Some would say that |
Does anyone have a possible solution for this problem: ? I have a DIV with a text in it. But I have to break the text into to variables after 5 linies: fx:
I have three columns from the css on my webpage, I have some text that is overflow:hidden in the first column and two empty columns next to it. My question is how could I use jQuery to make the text overflow onto the next columns rather than hidden in the first column.
This supposed to be simple, but I don't really know jQuery in order to implement this the proper way.All I want is to create a div with some text inside. The div will be overflowed some text will be visible.So all I want to do is to create to small links "up" and "down" so when the visitor clicks on then the text scrolls up or down. like this effect hereI tried to do some search ... but all I find are plugins and scrollers to create carousels or so
Does JQuery support multiple lines ellipsis for overflow text? That is, for example, Original text: This is a question about multiple lines ellipsis using JQuery Desired text: This is a question about, multiple lines ellipsis ... If yes, how to use it?
I have a Superfish Menu hover and text overflow issues due to special characters from foreign languages. In English or a language without special characters the menu and hover expand properly but with special characters you get text overflow and a hover with a negative right margin.
I am a complete newbie to javascript. Actually I don't really know the first thing about it yet but I have a div on a site that uses javascript to fade in and out text. All I want to do is but a line break / return in the text. Here's the script: Code JavaScript: arrFadeTitles[0] = "A line of text here. PAGE BREAK HERE. More text here";
I have been using Ajax to send data to php scripts and I would like to send text data from a textarea of a form. Normally I send data to the script with the following code...
How can I send larger amounts of data to the php script? Can the url contain 750 characters? I think the limit is 255 characters.
Specifically, assume I have a div tag of absolute dimensions. I need to figure out, first, whether or not the text inside the div tag is partially hidden by the overflow setting, and if so, what the hidden text is.
Is this even possible? Obviously, the rendering engine in the browser "knows" this information, but is it accessible through Javascript?
What I'm trying to do is insert hard-coded line breaks where ever the text wraps inside a div or td element (or any other element, I suppose). The point is to ensure that the text always wraps in the same place in print as it does on screen, which in turn will ensure that the container element is always the same height in print as it is on screen. It needs to work on non-monospaced type, so counting characters isn't really an option.
I've done lots of googling on this and the only thing I've found that even acknowledges that wrapped text has multiple lines is the getClientRect() method. This method returns a collection of rectangles-- one for each line of text in the container element. This can be used to determine how many lines there are, and the dimensions of each, but I don't think that really helps me, unfortunately.
Can Jquery Detect How Many Lines of Text within a Div or A tag?
I am attempting to have different backgrounds depending on how many lines the left navigation takes up. For example if the item in the left nav only takes up one line it will have backgroundA. If the item in the left nav only takes up 2 lines it will have backgroundB etc.. Currently I have everything with backgroundA but there are a few that are taking up two lines or three lines and I can't shorten them as that is what the customer needs to have, but it looks horrible...
So can Jquery detect how many lines of text within a div or a tag and follow the css so it knows when it goes to another line and it can switch the background to something longer?
I am trying to detect the DOM element on a unkown web page from thecurrent selected text on that page.Which means: I select text on a web page and then I would like to getthe dom element to which this text belongs.What I came up with was something like that: (imagin we selected theword John on that page....)var array = $("*:contains('John')"); ---> get all domelements that contain the text 'John'But, instead of returning all dom elements that contain 'John' , itreturns only the path from the HTML element to the P element thatcontains the text 'John'. (HTML->Body->P)Did I miss something ? Is there a complete different way to accomplish
Can Javascript be used to detect a certain url and then "not" write some html according to that url and also detect something on the page and "then" display some html?.
Example: I'm working on a volusion site that uses asp. There's basically only one page that's changed dynamically. I would like to display some html when and only if the cart has any items in it. But also not to show up on the check-out pages.
The page dynamically displays "Your cart has 1 item in it..." when the visitors puts something in their cart.
So could javascript detect when this is displayed then write some html and then also detect if the url is showing the cart and then not show the html?
I discovered this really great jQuery plugin which adds a scroll to top link to every page (implemented through my CMS) - http://blog.ph-creative.com/post/jQu...ll-to-Top.aspxIn Firefox its fine but in IE after going through a few pages I start to get an alert box which says "Stack overflow at line: 13". I understand that this may be caused by an infinite loop but being a JS novice I'm kinda lost as to where to start.
When loading my web page I'm getting this error"stack overflow at line 0"What can be the reason for that? Is it related to the images I'm using in my site?
