View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to insert a string into a textarea, where the cursor is when a button is clicked. I tried google for this one, but all I found was how to change the text in the textarea, and how to append something to the end, but not how to insert where the cursor is. Does anyone know how to, or have a script that does this?

View 10 Replies View RelatedUsing js, I would like to write a single string of several phrases into a textarea such that each phrase is aligned in order, one above the other. I tried a function that receives the string argument and splits it into an array. With a 'for-loop', elements of the array are assigned in turn to the textarea value. This gives me only the last element ('GROUP BY room') displayed , since it was the last assigned. My placing of a '+', a break("<br>") or a newline( ) didn't help. To get the idea, the following piece of script displays the string as broken, stacked, but not in the textarea where I want it:
$Statement = "SELECT all data,
FROM Departments,
WHERE grouphead = 'Milo',
GROUP BY rooms";

I need help with substring or trim function in javascript. Find below my code. Selection holds the value Select State, and length of the string is 14. I need to equate the Selection value to string "Select State" and execute alert message.
function selected_item() {
if (Selection=="Select State")
alert("Select the State");[code]....
I tried this:
var state=Selection.substring(0,11); and then string would be equated to state variable. But it is not working.
When a certain option value is selected it is supposed to enable a text field. However, it's not working and I'm not sure why. Here's the code:

My plan is to find the index of the cursor position on the textarea. then go left and right from that index. Stop on getting space on both side. Find both the indexes and select that range. But I am not able to do it. I am stuck in the first step.

I want to do the following thing:
On a simple html page I included jQuery. The page contains a big form including text input fields as well as select list fields (with multiple values).
I want to combine the values from all fields (text and select list) into one (hidden) textarea.
I have a problem to solve where I have a Hidden set of 40 text inputs. A link to show 10 more of these in inputs at a time, all having unique ID's. The goal I am trying to accomplish is to set the focus to say the 10th input. If the "show more inputs" link is clicked then the focus should go to the next 10th input (really input ID number 20) and so on.

menu[i] should reference the "login" variable and then put one of the values for the login variable array in its place. So if menu is settings then the settings array would be used.
I have my website getting a value as a result of an ajax call. After that, I would like to insert that result (a string) into a tag. However, I would like to insert that result in a way that (1) it must have opacity = 0, then (2) it will slideDown() so the whole content list being pushed down using animation, and finally (3) change opacity = 1. Imagine this is just like a Facebook message list insert process The way I am planning to do this is to return the result string from ajax to opacity=0 first. However, I don't know how to use jQuery to select a tag from within a string. I know jQuery only select from the DOM. So how to do this?

View 1 Replies View RelatedHow do I retrieve the currently selected option string in a select box instead of the value?
<select id="choices">
<option value="value">String</option>
</select>
Using
$("#choices").val();
returns the value if it's set. if there is no value set, jQuery returns the string instead. I want to retrieve the string while a value is set!
I need to pass the selected option of a <select> tag into a query
string, so that the page is reloaded with the selected option already
chosen. This will occur with the onclick() event hander, and the query
string will be processed using a server-side technology. I'm just not
sure how to word the "onclick" handler. Here's what I have:
<select id="StartMonth" name="StartMonth" onchange="location.href =
'thispage.cfm?StartMonth=_______'">
What is the correct wording to set the underlined portion to whatever
was selected? I know it has to be done with JavaScript, since the
decision is made on the client-side.
I am doing some maintenance work on a classic asp web page that displays product information. I am changing how the page looks up the available quantities for the various sizes. The old method used several SQL queries to determine the number of sizes and available quantities and then used those results to build a table on the fly on the page.
My modification consists of a web service that consolidates product size availability from three different sources and delivers the data via an XML formatted return. I have also added DOM tags in the table that is built on the fly that identify each entry with the product id and size. So, for a product that has an ID of "P12345" and a size of "XXL," that corresponding cell in the table gets an id tag of "P12345_XXL."
My jQuery update statements worked just fine using this approach until the sizes included decimal numbers. My example for this is shoe sizes. A size represented by an integer (6,7,8,...,15,16,17, etc.) works fine. A half-size represented by a decimal (6.5, 7.5, 8.5,...) does not. Even though the period is contained within a string value, jQuery doesn't seem to be able to match the value with an id tag - and yes, I have verified that the two (the string that I am giving to the jquery select and the actual tag) do indeed match.
So far, the only work-around that I have come up with is to multiply numeric sizes by 10 and parse as integer values. Is this a "known issue" and is there a more elegant solution topursue?

I've seen a variety of implementations around that enable selecting all or no checkboxes by using a checkbox to toggle that choice. However, I'm trying to find a way like this: I have two text links on my page: Select All, and Select None. How can I get those links to call a jquery function to select all or select no checkboxes in my form? As a little food for thought:
<head>
$(function() {
//function for selecting all or none...is there a way to make a single function that passes in a parameter to differentiate between selecting all or selecting none, or do I need a separate function for both?[code]....

I need a simple, quick and efficient way to logically branch if I find a string is contained in another string in jquery Most other languages this can be resolved in one or two lines and it would be readable.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a simple example below showing how when I pass in the value of the value attribute of option node, and then use if operator to check whether parameter is a string or not, even though it's a string, it converts it to false boolean and triggers the else statement rather than calling a function.callback should be a string so why is it saying otherwise?
