I wrote a simple search function to find text in a textarea where not
all the text is visible (ie. the text box displays 10 lines but there
may be more than 1000 lines to search). I can find the text and select
it using the function below, BUT I can't figure out how to have the
textarea automatically scroll to the selection in Firefox. Any ideas or
suggestions?
function search(needle,haystack,start) {
var element = document.getElementById(haystack);
index = element.value.indexOf(needle,start);
element.setSelectionRange(index, index+needle.length);
}
I have two textareas on a HTML page. If a user scrolls in one textarea I want the other textarea to scroll as well. In otherwords I want both textareas to scroll up and down in unison.
I'm really struggling to find any sample code for getting the start and end position of a text area selection (i.e. a textarea contains the phrase "Why isn't there a standard, well-known function that does this?" and somebody selects the word "there" -- using a function, I'd like to be able to grab the start position and end position of the word "there").
Can anybody help me with this, or am I going to have to hack together some long-winded function to do this seemingly simple task?
I have a form which has a dropdown menu on it. The last option on the menu "other". When "other is clicked, I would like a textarea to become visible, so that the user can enter the new information. Does anyone know how I might do this?
Here is the html for the form:
HTML Code: Union: <select name="union" id="union"> <option value="choose">Choose One</option> <option value="ibew">International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers</option> <option value="ibt">International Brotherhood of Teamsters</option>
jQuery - Scrolling browser Window. I have two demos of scrolling page content with jQuery.
This one - [url] is scrolling the contents inside a container and it works as I wanted on Mac/PC
Code:
I need the same effect as above but I need to scroll the whole browser window.
I have a demo here - [url]
Code:
Problem here is on the Mac the transition are jumpy and it seems to flash the first yellow div before sliding up or down. Testing on a PC it will slide down but won't slide up. How can I get the whole browser window to slide up and down with a smooth transition.
im searching for a plugin/code example for text scrolling. I got some text in a <div> if text is longer than for example 300px it gets cut and is scrolling from start to end, stops for a second and then scrolls back, stops and all over, and if its not long enough than 300px then just displays normaly. Something similar to the Song name scrolling inin anyMP3 player.
How would i change back to the default length of textarea?
I have this comment area that after clicking submit i will append the new comment in the list of comments through ajax... i got one problem though, everything is working perfectly well except for the textarea that won't change back to it's default size...
EXAMPLE:
The problem is that the textareawon't change back to it's default size // let's say that the default size is rows=3
function addText(t) { var d = document.getElementById("initialtext"); if (d) { d.innerHTML+=t; // Now I want the div to scroll down so I can see the new line! } }
I've tried doScroll(), scrollTop(), and a bunch of other ideas I found in this group but cannot get anything to work!
I am using display:none to make a DIV disappear, this works fine, but when I press the link to make the div disappear the browser scrolls to the top of the page, which is very annoying. Is there any way of stopping the browser resetting the scroll.
I have a simple page where the user adds a comment to a form that gets saved in a database, the page refreshes and reads the contents of the database and displays them inside a scrolling div.
The following piece of code simulates some text inside a div where the text is longer than the div is high. I would like to force the display to the end of the - as if the user had scrolled to the end - when the page refreshes.
What is the property of the div that controls the position of the text inside it and how do I set this to the end with javascript? IF this was a text area then I could just say:
document.all.Comments.scrollHeight = 10000;
I think. I am using a div instead of a text area because the text I am displaying will contain html. Code:
Is it possible to scroll the div by fixed number of pixels on clicking scroll arrow buttons on scrollbar associated with the div.. I tried to find scrollbar arrow click events but i could find none.
I'm developing an application in which I can add infinite divs dynamically into a main div, which has the property overflow and so, when his content reach a certain amount of divs, it shows the scrollbar. Ok, my question is: how can I scroll down the scrollbar when a new div is added, in order to make that div visible to the user?
Hey guys im trying to create a box that when your not moused in is always scrolling up. But it also has up and down arrows incase you want to go up or down yoruself but agian if you get off of those arrows it just keeps scrolling....
I'm looking desperatle for a javascript that allow me to show a few small images scrolling horizzontaly on the screen from right to left. I'm sure I've seen a lot of time such a script, but now I can't find it again.
Does anybody know how to disable the horizontal scrolling on ASPX form? What JAVA script should be used for that? The standard methods don't help and I'm looking for some JAVA function to fire it onscroll event to scroll the page back. Actually it's a bug of ASPX pages, we can disable the vertical scrolling but horizontal scrolling works if we try it with the touchpad. The only one possible solution I see is to use JAVA scripting.
In my webpage I have an embedded Windows Media Player and an unordered list with a table of contents.
When playing a video, the Windows Media Player is triggering events for new 'chapters'.
The corresponding chapter in the unordered list is then highlighted with css.
The list can contain up tot 100+ items. Because the page itself should fit the screen without scrolling, i put the list in a scrolling div.
I also want the div to scroll automatically in order to keep the current chapter inside the visible scope of the div.
Right now i do this by initually creating an anchor for each listitem. When an chapterswitch event occurs i scroll to the corresponding chapter with the folling line of Javascript code:
window.location = "#" + ListItemId;
There is one problem; the annoying tick sounds in IE. For my application it is not rare to have 25 'chapters' switched in one minute, so that's an awful lot of ticking.
I was wondering if it is possible to automatically scroll up or down to a specific point in a div without the browser making any sounds.
I want to do something after the user finished scrolling. The scroll event fires whenever the user is scrolling. I don't want this actually. Does anyone has any idea or trick of how to achieve this?
I am working on a project to scroll text with arrows in a div. I found a tutorial in which it does do some aspect of what it needs to do which is scroll the text. First I will show you where I got it from and the code that is used:
I am trying to make it to where when the user clicks on the down arrow and holds down on the mouse, the content scrolls down or when they hold the arrow up button and hold down on the mouse the content scrolls up. I tried using the onMouseup and onMouseDown but it is not working properly.
I included the code if anyone can help me figure out another property or function to use to do it correctly. I highlighted the part where I think it all makes a difference but again I am new to javascript. Code:
Now i know this is possible as ive seen it on a number of sites before. But as usual when i want something i cant find it.
Basically, i want to make a small part of my page scrolling use 2 buttons labelled "up" and "down". I want it to have the same effect as a scrollbar. if this doesnt make sense. let me know and ill try and find an example.
How can i make it so that either the ugly scroll bar moves to the left or so i can control the scrolling of a single frame by using two buttons or images using the onClick function? Preferably in another frame?
I want a scrolling JS layer (not CSS) am trying to fit it into an already existing site design which the client doesn't want to change. It works fine when i try it on a new page but the moment I put it into my actual page where it has to fit into a particular are (I used the overflow: hidden it doesn't behave!!
I am updating my web pages so that they work in FireFox but I have come across a problem with my divs. I am unable to scroll use the mouse wheel. The scroll bars are visible and I can manually move them up and down but it just doesnt seem to work using the mouse wheel. This feature works fine in IE. I have set the styles of my divs to overflow:auto.
Code: <script language=JavaScript> function scrollit(from, dist){ y = from; scrollEnd = y + dist; for (I=1; I<=scrollEnd; I++){ parent.scroll(1,I) } } </script> and i call it like this: <a href="#" onMouseOver="scrollit(0,500);">scroll</a>
but i was trying to make the window scroll from a position since my script will only scroll down from the top, how do i do this?
