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("");
}

Wrapping Tags Around Selected Text In A Text Area!!

Jun 16, 2006

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?

Wrapping Tags Around Selected Text

May 2, 2007

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.

JQuery :: Mouse Cursor Changing On Animation?

May 27, 2009

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,

Adding Text To Textarea - Create An Additional Button That Will Insert Some Text - Certain Html Tags

Mar 10, 2010

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.

Highlighting Text With Cursor ?

Nov 10, 2011

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).

Cursor Position In Text Box

Mar 4, 2003

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:
