Text In Text Box Has Been Selected Forwards Or Backwards?
Aug 16, 2010
Is there a way to tell if the text in a text box has been selected forwards or backwards?If you select some text from left to right and then hold down shift and use the cursor keys the right end of the selection moves. If you select some text from right to left and then hold down shift and use the cursor keys the left end of the selection moves.Is there a way in Javascript to detect which way the text has been selected? I need to know if the "end" position is before the "start" position or after. Using ranges and selection objects seems to "normalise" the selection so that the start is before the end.

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 found this code on some web site which actually works on my current Safari browser. I will be grateful if anyone out there with IE version 8 or less can verify it working as well.
Basically I wanted to highlight some text with mouse drag, and have that piece of text wrapped with [high] at the beginning and [/high] at the end.

I have a textarea and some buttons. The buttons apply functions to
the text the user selects, i.e. the good old "wrap with a tag"
thing we all have seen in 100 different editors.
Trouble is, when I click the button, the selected text gets
unselected. Select some text in the textbox and click -anywhere-
and the text unselects.

I have a textfield and you of course you can select text...
When they hit the bold button I want it to obtain the selected text and
bold it, the hard part is trying to figure out if javascript can even
OBTAIN selected text?!?!
I can do this in java if I have to, I know java better than javascript,
it seems as that is the only way to do it from looking online.

I am wondering if it is at all possible to create a button that--when
clicked--grabs a paragraph of text that a user has highlighted. So you
go to this website, then highlight a section of text. Once you have
the text selected with you mouse, you then click the button. The
button executes a function which acquires the selected text in a
string. Is this hypothetical situation possible? Thank you for the
time it took to read this post.

I have an html drop down list. the list has an 'other' option. when the other option is selected I want a text box to pop up to the left of it for entry. I was thinking about using a hidden <div> to contain the text box. and when other is selected to unhide it. How do I unhide it when other is selected?

I'm trying to make a template generator. I want the visitor to select a background (options: none, color, image). If 'color' or 'image' are selected, I need the appropriate text input field to be displayed.
I've found code to do this which I was able to understand and install. I've also found code that was well beyond my current understanding and that I couldn't get to work to save my life.
The problem is that the code snipped I found and installed is designed to work with a single dropdown, and it's beyond me to figure out how to turn it into a function that could be applied on the page multiple times. I have no idea if it is possible with this piece of script, but that is what I need to have whatever script I use do on the page.
This is the snippet I installed:
Code:
function Choose(op) {
document.getElementById('None').style.display='none';
document.getElementById('Color').style.display='none';
document.getElementById('Image').style.display='none';
[Code]....

I searched about this problem over Internet and found the same result many times, I found this example on stackoverflow [URL] but this example didn't work in my project; I am making a toolbar with buttons that insert HTML tags around the selected text in a <textarea>, this exemple didn't work because when the user click on a button the selected text won't be selected anymore because <textarea> loses focus and selected text will be unselected, I am targeting Firefox and compatible browsers so you don't need to give me the IE code; jQuery codes are accepted;

I’m trying to get the text() of a selected option that has been dynamically built.
I am using the following code in a doc ready fun:
Code javascript:
$('#content_category').change(function(){
var catselect = "";
$('#content_category option:selected').each(function(){
[Code]....
The second select (#content_sub_category) is populated dynamically (PHP) onChange of the #content_category select.
I can get the text() of the #content_category select but nothing for the #content_sub_category select!
I’ve tried to look into rebinding on Jquery’s FAQ page, but can not get it working.

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.
