Tags To Appear Around Selected Text And On Mouse Cursor
Jan 20, 2009
I am currently adding BBCode to my website, and I posted a while ago in this forum for a script that would add tags to my textarea when clicking an BBcode image. But my next problem now is that I need those tags to appear around selected text and at the mouse cursor if no text is selected. Currently all it does is just add the tags at the end of your sentence if you've written something in the textarea. Here is the code I use:
function lolwut(txt)
{
var ta = document.getElementById("my_ta");
ta.value += txt;
}
window.onload = function()
{
lolwut("");
}

I'm trying to 'wrap tags' around text in a text box.
<script language=javascript>
function insertFauxTags(fauxTag, e, endFauxTag)
{
var e = document.frmAddNewForum.txtTopicMessage.selected;
document.frmAddNewForum.txtTopicMessage.Value += fauxTag + e + endFauxTag;
}
</script>
And my form:
<form runat="server" id="frmAddNewForum">
<asp:textbox id="txtTopicMessage" runat="server" cssclass="formtext" rows="5" textmode="MultiLine" width="95%" style="width:95%"></asp:textbox>
</form>
And here's how I'm calling the function:
<a href="javascript:insertFauxTags('[p]' + e + '[/p]')"><img src="http://www.<%=strSiteName%>/images/parabutton.gif" border="0" alt="Paragraph" /></a>
When I run this in FF I get 'e' is not defined - any ideas?

I've got a form with a textarea box, currently you can just type a message in the box and submit it, then it is added to a mysql database and shows up on a page I made for people to view staff memos.
I've been asked to add formatting options like bold, italic, underline etc. Unfortunately me and javascript have never really met so I'm quite stumped. I can handle the form processing with PHP converting [b] to <strong> etc myself but I need help with the actual user interface.

I have a site at: [URL] If you notice at the bottom, you'll see PREV :: NEXT navigation links. When you mouse over them, the mouse icon turns to a Cursor. Does anyone know how I can revert this back to a regular mouse "hand" icon for better usability purposes? The cursor is not intuitive, imho.

I'm looking for a function that I can use which will do the following when the mouse cursor is in a textarea:
know which textarea to work with based on current cursor position (not sure if this possible, couldn't find examples) - i.e. just 1 'Bold' button to operate on multiple textareas.
insert tag or tags (i.e. ,[image]) at cursor position, if text is selected then insert tags around text selection.

I'm probably just blanking today, but, how can I find out what type the cursor currently is? Is
document.activeElement.style.cursor the way to go on this? But that's only for IE, right?

Below is example js:
function SomeLongProcess()
{
for(var i=0;i<document.all.length;i++)
document.all(i).style.cursor="wait";
// some long process here !!
for(var i=0;i<document.all.length;i++)
document.all(i).style.cursor="default";
}
so, the problem is, that the mouse cursor not change, until i focus to
different window, and return to this window.

I've created a carousel widget on [URL].. (under 'Featured Personas' and 'Featured Designers'). Every now and then when the arrow navigation images are clicked, the
mouse returns to the default arrow from a hand. (note: when you are at the end of the carousel, the mouse will change to an arrow). This is not supposed to happen, if I move the cursor away from the navigation arrow and back over, it changes back to a hand as intended. It should stay a hand until the end of the carousel is reached. I've only been able to reproduce it sporadically,

how do you retrieve the mouse cursor coordinates with Javascript?
the only method i know works only with ie... how do you make it compatible with opera, netscape 6 and netscape 4.7?
i was thinking of using overLIB, but it has too many extra features - i just need the popup without any extra options. overLIB is 7 kb... thats too big.

I need a javascript that will print out the X and Y of the mouse on the screen as I move the mouse and keep up to date. The X and the Y must also be stored in a variable. (Trying to increase my knowledge of javascript so that I can make my web sites better and my experiments are all in making games)

I am creating a small CMS module for a client. I created a little form and when they click Submit, it goes straight out into an include (.inc) file, which is connected to the web page to be displayed.
The trouble I am having is that I'd like to create an additional button that will insert some text (certain html tags to make their life easier, etc) - I got it to work, actually. The script executes and the text is inserted - but once the script runs and the page refreshes (or whatever it does), the text then disappears. The only way I can seem to get it to stay put is when I use "onmouseup" instead of "onclick" - which means that every time the user accidentally mouses over the thing, it inserts the text.

I'm trying to write a function that is similar to the ctrl+f functionality you get in IE, where you have a search string and when you click 'next' the whole string if matched is highlighted by the cursor.
This works fine for inputs and text areas using the following code:
But now I need to get it to work for normal text in a text node that is in the HTML/DOM. Is there an equivalent way of making the above method work for text in text nodes?
Alternatively is there a way to make the browser (IE) at least focus on some text in a text node? (I could then highlight it with CSS styles).

I need to control the cursor position in a textbox to do this, does anyone know how to place the cursor in the textbox at a particular position
The functionality I am looking for...
Excel provides data entry help based on previous entries i.e. if in a previous cell in a column I entered "Jim Bob" then the next cell I type a "J" Excel provides help by showing "Jim Bob" in a way that allows me to pick it or keep typing. This is the kind of functionality I am trying to get using JS.
In the code below I create an array of previous entries by the user over the last 45 days this all comes from a DB but that's not important here. When the user enters a key in the textbox I can pop the text box with a matching value from the array, only up to the chars entered.
The Problem or Question:
Is there a way to place the curser back into the last position and highlight the remaining part of the match from the array?
This is really hard to explain but if you ever used Excel you may have an idea of what I am trying to do. Code:

Using an onMouseDown, I can determine the coordinates of the cursor. Is there any way to write some text (a string) at that point. I am using at the moment a <textareaa> tag. I want the user to be able to click in the text and at a string to be inserted at that point.
