I wonder how to get/set the caret position of a textfield. I dont wanna paste something, but only set the caret position. With firefox I can do this stuff: textfield.startSelection = pos;With IE I dont have a plan how to solve.
View 14 RepliesI have a contenteditable div, it has some paragraphs in it.Assuming a situation, when I click the button "set caret position", the main div will focus, the caret will start at position number 8 of second paragraph, which means the caret will appear after the word "draw".How would you do it?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI would like to determine where the current insertion point is in a text field.
Say I had a text field that held 80 characters. I would like to display to the
user the current position of the insertion point at any point in the field.
I have found the TextRange object and have found examples of how to insert text
at a particular location. I have not been able to find a way to return a
number depicting the current location of the cursor.
I'm using a div with contenteditable=true, and I need to know where the caret is for operations like splitting the html contents of that div where the caret is. Ultimately, if a piece of text is selected, I'll want to split that html content on the selection start / end.jCaret only seems to work for textareas.Is this possible in a div?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been able to find for an editable HTML textarea for a WYSIWYG editor. It can save and restore the caret position. It works on FF3.5+, IE8, but does not work on Opera 11, Safari 5, or Chrome 10. Any ideas why? I'm just trying to find some code that works on FF3+, opera 10+, safari 5, chrome 8+, and IE7+.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a contentEditable element, and am using setTimeout() to call a function which changes the innerHTML of the div. Problem is that changing innerHTML moves the caret to the end of the text.
I need to keep the caret pos so the user can keep typing. I tried storing the caret pos with
cursorPos=document.selection.createRange().duplicate();
And then later restoring it with cursorPos.select() - which is IE only, but it doesn't work because the content of the div gets changed between calls, and the behavior is undefined (it basically selects everything) ...
I am developing a page that works like a text editor.In that page, I am trying to show the user on which row and column he is in.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a problem with currency formatter function I made. On onkeyup's
method of a textfield I add function below:
<snip>
function formatCurrency(elm) {
var str=elm.value;
var re = /(-?d+)(d{3})(,d*)?/
var re1 = /./g
str = str.replace(re1,'')
arr = str.split(',')
str = arr[0]
while (re.test(str))
str = str.replace(re, '$1.$2$3')
str += (arr.length 1) ? (',' + arr[1]) : ''
elm.value = str
}
</snip>
It works as I expected, except that after the function finished its
execution the cursor moves to the end of the textfield. So if I want
to insert two or more characters, the rest of it goes to the end of
textfield.
How I determine the position of the cursor in the textfield before
executing the regex?

in a DHTML Editing control (MSIE), I need to "extend" the caret to the
nearest text character in order to obtain a text selection (and than a
textRange object with the createRange method).
This is needed because I have a set of functions doing operations
within the edit control's rich text. But all the functions need to
start from a selected text (for example, adding a table row). My aim is
to get the things work also if no text is selected from the user. But I
could not find a way to have a selected text starting from the simple
cursor position.
Is there a way to disable Caret Browsing in FF using Javascript?
View 1 Replies View RelatedDoes jQuery provide an abstraction for getting and setting the cursor for editable content div's? And if not, any assistance on how to do this? I really just want to pass the "id" and a cursor value to set it... or just the id to get the cursor value. Basically, I'd really like a high-level interface because trying to get it to work on Firefox alone is a massive pain :(
The fundamental problem is this:
If you have a div that contains text and other html elements, if the user's selection encompasses text and html, it won't do anything. I don't even think it registers.
Even when you do get a selection though, we can only find the cursor value within that range. So if there's html elements that are siblings to the left of it, the number of positions isn't accounted for.
I was I could just "get the selection information" and "store the selection information". When I try that, it still doesn't work :/
I'm new to javascript and am not sure why this works in firefox and not chrome. I am trying to create a script that keeps an object fixed horizontally while bing positioned absolute vertically. if I replace the toPP variable in document.getElementById('fire').style.top = toPP; with say '50px' it will move the element down 50 pxs, but how I have it currently it doesn't do anything in chrome
<script type="text/javascript" >
window.onscroll = function()
{
if( window.XMLHttpRequest ) {
var x = 0 -document.documentElement.scrollTop;
var toP = String(x);
var toPP = toP + "px";

#navigation li is the parent element, which is positioned relative.The ul element above that is also position relative. I previously tested a click function and was able to confirm I was getting the correct position back, so now I just need to set the CSS property correctly for all of those links.The reason I want to do this is I have a set of links that appear over a photo of a city skyline. When you hover over those items, I want them to be given a background image that is a blurred and lightened version of the same photo so it needs to line up (sort of like the tabs are made of frosted glass).

I'm hoping that someone can help me with a question I have about javascript syntax.
I got an html page that uploads an image and some text field to a database.
What I'd like to do is modify the content of one of the textfields prior to it being submitted to the database. Specifically, I need to append the contents of one of the fields to another.
The problem that I've encountered is that the textfield name contains square brackets , ‘extra_fields[Price]'
I've identified the square brackets as being the problem by changing the textfield's name to one that doesn't contain square brackets ,extra_fieldPrice for example and the script works fine.
Unfortunately, in the real world application of this page, I can't change the textfield name.
The specific part of the html page that's giving me problems is:
Actually I have this html interface;
<input type="text" size="20" name="brandname" />
<input type="hidden" name="brandid" value="" />
And this is my jquery;
$('#brandname').autocomplete("searchbrandnames.jsp", {
minChars: 3
});
