JavaScript - Text Increase Then Decrease Code

This might be a little complicated. I'll try to be as clear as possible. I got some help from Old Pedant a little while ago and the code worked great.

The problem came after I tried some code that will highlight (select) text in a DIV:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
function selectNode (node) {
   var selection, range, doc, win;
   if ((doc = node.ownerDocument) && (win = doc.defaultView) && typeof
win.getSelection != 'undefined' && typeof doc.createRange != 'undefined'
&& (selection = window.getSelection()) && typeof
selection.removeAllRanges != 'undefined') {
     range = doc.createRange();
     range.selectNode(node);
     selection.removeAllRanges();
     selection.addRange(range);
   }
   else if (document.body && typeof document.body.createTextRange !=
'undefined' && (range = document.body.createTextRange())) {
     range.moveToElementText(node);
     range.select();
   }
}
</script>

Code:

<div id="bb1"></div>

<form>
<input type="button" value="Click Here to Highlight Data" onclick="window.selectNode(document.getElementById('bb1'));" style="margin-left:4px; font-weight:bold; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:14px;"> 
</form>

It works great with Firefox and Internet Explorer, but there is a problem with Opera. The contents of the DIV is selected, but so is everything after the DIV. Below is a link to the page, but be sure to turn down your speaker volume before you visit the page so you won't have a heart attack:

http://www.randomterrain.com/atari-2...music-toy.html

The DIV is empty when the page loads. To put content in the DIV, jump down to All Sounds and left click on a couple of the numbers than run from 0 to 31, then jump down to the DIV. When you click on the "Click Here to Highlight Data" button, you'll see that more than the contents of the DIV is selected.

I hope someone can figure out how to make the code work properly with Opera.



Thanks.

I have been looking around for a while on google and have come accross a few things but still am unable to find the exact codes.
I am trying to have a page setup so that when the user clicks a button it will add preset text to a form box and keep the chronological order of buttons that are clicked. This is going to be used for my ambulance service to assist dispatch so basically i am looking for preset buttons that the dispatcher can click disp. and have the dispatch and time added to a list in the form box that can later be copied and emailed to our cell phones.

Thanks for any help.

I am looking for a javascript code for this idea under this message

I want to create a kind of shopping website so when you click on a image or text it will add some text to a textarea,, it will include the name of item and price of an item

As of right now I have a code that will work in IE but wont work in FireFox...go figure. Basically what I want to have happen is when you type in an area code it will provide an output in a predetermined area of the page.

For Example:

Input- 512

Output - Austin, TX

The code that I have doesn't work with firefox and I was just wondering if there was a code that would allow that to happen. Thanks!

Hi,

I have a form with 9 text fields and a text area. What I want to do is replace the text in the text area depending on how many fields contain text. For example my text boxes are named 1 to 9, if the user enters text in the first five boxes I want the text area to auto fill with 'you have selected boxes 1 to 5' if the user selects all nine it will say 'you have selected 1 to 9', therefore, the user must complete the text boxes in order. I have it working with an onchange event but i have a button on the form to also auto fill the text boxes and it does not work if this is clicked.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi all,

Thanks for reading. I'm having an issue trying to accomplish the following -

I have a text field (field1) already displayed on the HTML page. However, there's a link where you can add additional text fields to the page as well. When the link is clicked, the second text field is added successfully (field2), and when the link is clicked again, the third text field (field3) is added successfully. However, the third field does not add itself to the page, and the text for anything greater than a third field also isn't displayed after.

This obviously means that my "fields" variable is not working right, so I'm wondering, would anyone be able to assist me to help me get that variable processing correctly?

Code:

<script language="javascript">

fields = 1;

function addMore() {

if (fields = 1) {

document.getElementById('addedMore').innerHTML = "<input type='text' name='field2' size='25' /> <span>Field 2.</span>";

fields = 2;

} else if (fields = 2) {

document.getElementById('addedMore').innerHTML = "<input type='text' name='field3' size='25' /> <span>Field 3.</span>";
fields = 3;

} else {

document.getElementById('addedMore').innerHTML = "Only 3 fields are allowed.";
document.form.add.disabled=true;

}

}

</script>

Here is the code in my HTML -

Code:

<input type="text" name="field1" size="25" /> <span>Field 1.</span>
<div id="addedMore"></div>
<p class="addMore"><form name="add"><a onclick="addMore()">Add another field.</a></form></p>

Thank you very much.

This post will contain a few guidelines for what you can do to get better help from us. Let's start with the obvious ones:

- Use regular language. A spelling mistake or two isn't anything I'd complain about, but 1337-speak, all-lower-case-with-no-punctuation or huge amounts of run-in text in a single paragraph doesn't make it easier for us to help you.

- Be verbose. We can't look in our crystal bowl and see the problem you have, so describe it in as much detail as possible.

- Cut-and-paste the problem code. Don't retype it into the post, do a cut-and-paste of the actual production code. It's hard to debug code if we can't see it, and this way you make sure any spelling errors or such are caught and no new ones are introduced.

- Post code within code tags, like this [code]your code here[/code]. This will display like so: Code:

alert("This is some JavaScript code!")

- Please, post the relevant code. If the code is large and complex, give us a link so we can see it in action, and just post snippets of it on the boards.

- If the code is on an intranet or otherwise is not openly accessible, put it somewhere where we can access it.

- Tell us any error messages from the JavaScript console in Firefox or Opera. (If you haven't tested it in those browsers, please do!)

- If the code has both HTML/XML and JavaScript components, please show us both and not just part of it.

- If the code has frames, iframes, objects, embeds, popups, XMLHttpRequest or similar components, tell us if you are trying it locally or from a server, and if the code is on the same or different servers.

- We don't want to see the server side code in the form of PHP, PERL, ASP, JSP, ColdFusion or any other server side format. Show us the same code you send the browser. That is, show us the generated code, after the server has done it's thing. Generally, this is the code you see on a view-source in the browser, and specifically NOT the .php or .asp (or whatever) source code.

Hi,
I have a form setup so that selecting a radio button opens a specific text field. The problem is if the user starts to enter information, then switches to a different radio button (perhaps they chose the wrong radio to start), the text they already started to enter on the previous textfield doesn't get cleared. This will be a problem later when inserting to sql.

Here is a summary of the code:

Code:

<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function doClick(objRad){
if (objRad.value=="0"){
document.getElementById("textbox").style.display='block'; 
}
else{
document.getElementById("textbox").style.display='none'; 
}
if (objRad.value=="1"){
document.getElementById("textbox1").style.display='block'; 
}
else{
document.getElementById("textbox1").style.display='none'; 
}
if (objRad.value=="2"){
document.getElementById("textbox2").style.display='block';
}
else{
document.getElementById("textbox2").style.display='none';
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>

<form action="insert.php" method="post">
<p>Please choose the business type:
<input type="radio" name="rad" value="0" onclick="doClick(this)">
Sole Proprietorship
<input type="radio" name="rad" value="1" onclick="doClick(this)">
Partnership
<input type="radio" name="rad" value="2" onclick="doClick(this)">
Corporation

<div id="textbox" style="display:none">
<input type="text" name="txt">
This is my sole proprietorship info.</div>
<div id="textbox1" style="display:none">
<input type="text" name="txt">
This is my partnership info.</div>
<div id="textbox2" style="display:none">
<input type="text" name="txt">This is my corporation info.
</div>
</form>
</body>

Any help is appreciated,
Thanks in advance!

Hello.

I have a textarea where user can select a text then copy to clipboard (using EditArea script for highlighting)
I need append additional information to the selected text so it won't be visible in the textarea, but only appear after copied to clipboard.
For example:
Code:

text line one
text line two
text line three

user selected word "two", hit CTRL+C to copy into clipboard (or used browser's context menu), but in clipboard it should be saved as: "selected word 'two'"

What would be the approach?

Thank you.

I'm trying to get my Client Side Firefox DHTML app to display a list of eBooks. For this, i have the following files

F:\Textbooks.html
F:\eBooks.txt
F:\FirstBook.txt
F:\SecondBook.txt
F:\ThirdBook.txt


textbooks.html is my DHTML app
eBooks.txt is the Library file with a listing of all of my eBooks.
Inside of eBooks.txt is the following data:
-----------------
FirstBook.txt,
SecondBook.txt,
ThirdBook.txt,
-----------------

FirstBook.txt to ThirdBook.txt are my actual ebooks.


The problem that i'm having is that When i try to click on any buttons other than the FirstBook button, i get the following error:

----------------------------------
Error: unterminated string literal
Source File: file:///F:/Textbooks.html
Line: 1, Column: 10
Source Code:
LoadEbook('
----------------------------------

So, unlike clicking on the FirstBook button, these other buttons do not load the eBook data into the DIV for displaying the eBook data.

I use the DOM insepector to checkout the DOM of the button code, and it seems like whitespace maybe is the problem. However, i have removed whitespace from the HTMLdata string, and that's not fixing the problem.

did i forget something silly? LOL

i'm using FireFox 3.5 to develop this App. So obviously this will not work with anything other than Gecko Based browsers.

here is my HTML code:


<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
var eBookLibrary = "eBooks.txt";
var SystemPath = "f:" + String.fromCharCode(92)

function Init()
{
// Initialize the eBook reader
document.getElementById("EbookCanvas").style.visibility = "hidden";
document.getElementById("EbookToolbar").style.visibility = "visible";
document.getElementById("FileManager").style.visibility = "visible";



// Load the List of eBooks in the Library
LoadBookList();
}

function UpdateEbookList()
{
// Update the Library of Ebooks
alert("Updating eBook Library");

// Go back to the File Manager, and Reload the List of Ebooks
LoadBookList();
}

function LoadBookList()
{
// This will load the list of books that are available
var EbookList = LoadFromDisk(SystemPath + eBookLibrary);
var EbookListArray = EbookList.split(",");

for(var x = 0; x < EbookListArray.length -1; x++)
{
// Strip the Filename Extension off of the eBook File Name
// The Name of the Book is always the first Index in the Array
var BookName = EbookListArray[x].split(".");
// Remove the weird whitespace - it screws things up...i think...
BookName[0] = BookName[0].replace(/(^\s*|\s*$)/g, "");

var HTMLdata = HTMLdata + "<input type='button' value='" + "FirstBook" + "'" + " onClick=LoadEbook('" + EbookListArray[x] + "');><br>";
}

// For some ****ed up reason the first string always generates an 'undefined' even though it's nonsense
// So just delete that from the HTMLdata string, because it's just ugly - LOL
HTMLdata = HTMLdata.replace("undefined", "");
HTMLdata = HTMLdata.replace("", " ");

// Write the HTML data to the DIV
document.getElementById("FileManager").innerHTML = HTMLdata;
}

function LoadEbook(EbookName)
{
// Hide the File Manager and Show the Ebook Canvas
document.getElementById("FileManager").style.visibility = "hidden";
document.getElementById("EbookCanvas").style.visibility = "visible";
document.getElementById("EbookToolbar").style.visibility = "visible";

// Load the Ebook content into the Ebook Reader Pannel

var EbookContent = LoadFromDisk(SystemPath + EbookName);

document.getElementById("EbookCanvas").innerHTML = EbookContent;
}

function LoadFromDisk(filePath)
{
if(window.Components)
try
{
netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalXPConnect");
var file = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/file/local;1"].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsILocalFile);
file.initWithPath(filePath);
if (!file.exists())
return(null);
var inputStream = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/network/file-input-stream;1"].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIFileInputStream);
inputStream.init(file, 0x01, 00004, null);
var sInputStream = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/scriptableinputstream;1"].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIScriptableInputStream);
sInputStream.init(inputStream);
return(sInputStream.read(sInputStream.available()));
}
catch(e)
{
//alert("Exception while attempting to load\n\n" + e);
return(false);
}
return(null);
}
</script>
</head>

<body onLoad="Init();">

Hi,

I'm hoping this will be an easy one for you experts out there.

I am working on a convention registration form.

What I'm trying to do is have the text "50.00" pop into the COST field when any text (even if it's only one character) is entered into the NAME field.

If the text in the NAME field is deleted, the "50.00" should also be deleted.

Does anyone have a script that does this?

Thanks!

Hello there, this is my first post on this forum.

I have learned a good bit of PHP and have implemented it for use in my work as a math tutor.

My kids are telling me, however, that it is too inconvenient to hit tab or click on the next text box and would prefer to use the old style pencil and paper.

I thought of a good idea: Javascript would be able to automatically focus the curser on the next text box if some condition was met.

For example: 6+7. If the textbox reads 13, it will focus on the next text box. Otherwise, nothing happens. This kills three birds with one stone; the user will know if they got the question right or wrong and it will move automatically if they got it correct.

The problem is I lack any real JavaScript wisdom. I would guess this would be quite simple. The closest thing I have found upon searching was this from the user requestcode, but this has to do with once the user has typed in 4 characters it moves automatically.

Code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function nextbox(fldobj,nbox)
{
if(fldobj.value.length>3)
{document.forms[0].elements[nbox].focus()}
}
</SCRIPT>
</head>
<body onLoad="document.myform.txt1.focus()">
<CENTER>
<FORM NAME="myform">
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="txt1" SIZE="4" MAXLENGTH="4" onKeyUp="nextbox(this,1)">

Thank you for the help.

Hi. I have developed a form all working fine but am struggling on the following.

I need a checkbox for an item, when the checkbox is true the user can enter text in a text box, only if the checkbox is ticked.

I have numerous items I need for this.

Hope someone can help. Thanks

Hi,

Here's a sample form:

Code:

<form action="#" method="post">
Name:<br />
<input type="text" name="name" value="your name" /><br />
E-mail:<br />
<input type="text" name="mail" value="your email" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Send"> 
</form>

When you tab to a text input, the value gets highlighted. How can it be disabled?

Any help is appreciated!
Mike

im clueless when it comes to javascript, but this is what im trying to find:

i have a page that has multiple text areas, i also have 4 links that when clicked i want to add some predefined text into the active text area the one with the text cursor in?

The Hyperlinks:
Code:

<a href="#sc">Shift Changed</a> | <a href="#ol">On Leave</a> | <a href="#ot">OverTime</a> | <a href="#ss">ShiftSwap</a>

The textareas:
PHP Code:
                <td><textarea name=details$i rows=4 align=absmiddle cols=16 value="$details[$i]\">$details[$i]</textarea></td> 


as you can see the textareas are created on the fly based on a php array.

would anyone be willing to put some code together for this?
or even give me the basics on how i can get the active textarea's name so i can pass that to a script that inserts into a given field?
