JavaScript - How Does This Text Box Work On Deviantart?
I have always loved the way the text boxes work for comments on Deviantart:
http://www.deviantart.com/#/d37kh7x That is just a picture I chose at random. Underneath the picture, it says "Add a Comment" and there is a textbox. When you click inside it, the textbox expands. There is also a speech bubble coming from the lefthand side of the textbox? HOW THE HECK ARE THESE DONE??? It looks so clean and pretty. I think it's a Javascript thing. When I save the page to my computer to start messing around with the code, the textbox does not expand, and the speech bubble does not come from the lefthand side of the textbox. So i can't play with the code to try to figure it out myself. Why doesn't the feature work when I save the page to my desktop? Similar Tutorialsif you visit my site: http://site-tonight.com/works you will notice if you click the image, the Colorbox comes up with a new image, BUT if you click the word Details below the image, the colorbox effect does not take place, even though it using the same link as the image. is there a way to make that text link be clicked and have an image pop up in the colorbox style? thanks much, kyle I'm fairly new to JS so sorry in advance if this is a stupid question! I have a textarea which uses ckeditor to make it a wysiwyg. I also have a bit of JS which watches the ckeditor and when a user types into it, whatever they type appears in a div elsewhere on the page. My ckeditor allows the text to be bold, italic, underlined and resized. When I apply styles to the text in the ckeditor textarea, I want them to reflected in the div which updates. At the moment only underline and resizing the text works. Choosing bold or italic does nothing the text updates ok, but no bold or italic. I've been told: "Ckeditor is using strong for bold, em for italics. My guess is that the browser or framework you are using doesn't apply bold and italics styles to those tags. You'll have to do that yourself." I've tested on several browsers, I checked in FF Opera Safari Chrome IE8 & IE9 and its the same in all them. Underline works, resize works but neither bold or italic do. (Interestingly in IE7 bold and italic do work as well as the size and underline! What's going on with that?!?) So I assume it is the framework? Can anyone tell me if this is right and if so, how do I go about doing that myself? heres the JS I'm using to update the div: Code: <label for="editor1">Background Story</label> <textarea id="editor1" name="editor1">This is sample text</textarea> <div id="story"></div> <script type="text/javascript"> CKEDITOR.replace( 'editor1' ); timer = setInterval('updateDiv()',100); function updateDiv(){ var editorText = CKEDITOR.instances.editor1.getData(); $('#story').html(editorText); }</script> Hello everyone. I hope I'm posting this in the right place. I'm using the Disco Background Effect script found here that causes the background color of the page to continuously change. For my design I need other aspects of the page to change along with it. Such as some title Text and HR lines. Is it possible to call this script to work on other things such as images, text and HR lines? In other words I want some text to change color in time with the background changing. I appreciate any help you might have. Ron Hello I have this snippet for controlling the number of characters entered in a textarea. It works. But, if I replace in this code the name "my_form" by "contact-form" and "my_text" by "message", it doesnt ! It looks like the keyword is " my_form ". You change that , and the script will not work! It turns out that I have to change those names because the form as it was already had those names my_form and message before I added this counter And I dont want to replace the names of the form in order to adapt them to this code snippet below. The question is why would the script not work if I have just replaced two words, which dont seem to be keywords of JS programming (my_form and my_text) <html><head> <title>(Type a title for your page here)</title> <script language=JavaScript> <!-- function check_length(my_form) { maxLen = 50; // max number of characters allowed if (my_form.my_text.value.length >= maxLen) { // Alert message if maximum limit is reached. // If required Alert can be removed. var msg = "You have reached your maximum limit of characters allowed"; alert(msg); // Reached the Maximum length so trim the textarea my_form.my_text.value = my_form.my_text.value.substring(0, maxLen); } else{ // Maximum length not reached so update the value of my_text counter my_form.text_num.value = maxLen - my_form.my_text.value.length;} } //--> </script> </head> <body> <form name=my_form method=post> <textarea onKeyPress=check_length(this.form); onKeyDown=check_length(this.form); name=my_text rows=4 cols=30></textarea> <br> <input size=1 value=50 name=text_num> Characters Left </form> </body> </html> well the jquery is working fine for twitter and other stuff but its not working for facebook, when i highlight the text and select fb to share at then the facebook share just show the meta description of site and not the selected area. I am not able to understand where am i going wrong, any assistance provided is highly appreciated. Go to this link http://www.blobh.com/2011/09/testing-1.html there select some text then a tooltip kind of thing will appear first share at twitter then at facebook you will understand the matter. the script i am using is this Code: <script type='text/javascript'> $('.demo1').selectedTextSharer({ lists:"Twitter,http://twitter.com/home?status=%ts ,favicon|Facebook,http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.blobh.com%2F&t=%s,favicon|Wikipedia (en),http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&search=%s,favicon|Google Maps,http://maps.google.com/?q=%s,favicon", extraClass: 'dark', title: 'Share this text ...', borderColor: '#7F241C', background : '#4F663A', titleColor : '#7F241C', textColor : '#FFFFFF', hoverColor: '#7F241C' }); </script> and the other script is this one http://bloghuts.googlecode.com/files...-sharer.min.js and the html is like this Code: <!-- Just wrap a text with a div and add a class, thats all ! --> <div class="demo1"> Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.

Works great on all browser I've tested but IE 7. With IE I have only tested this will IE 8 and IE 7. IE 7 the effect doesn't work. No error message or anything. I'm unsure what to do from here. I was hoping I could find some help here. Code: function fade(obj, duration, toggle) { steps = 1000; elem = document.getElementById(obj); function fadeIn() { for(var i = 0; i <= 1; i+=(1/steps)) { setTimeout("elem.style.opacity = "+ i +"", i * duration); setTimeout("elem.style.filter='alpha(opacity="+ i * 102 +")'", i * duration); } } function fadeOut() { for(var i = 0; i <= 1; i+=(1/steps)) { setTimeout("elem.style.opacity = "+ (1-i) +"", i * duration); setTimeout("elem.style.filter='alpha(opacity="+ (1-i) * 102 +")'", i * duration); } } /* One for Fade in and anything will be fade out*/ if(toggle == 1) { fadeIn(); } else { fadeOut(); } } Thanks, Jon W 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. 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. 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! 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 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'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! 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? I know only basic Javascript. I'm making a choose-your-own-adventure game, but want parts of each "page" to display conditionally. For example: You see a sword, a hat, and a helmet here. Take sword Wear hat Wear helmet Continue into swamp Clicking "Take sword" would set a variable "haveSword" to true, and the page would display: You heft the sword, testing its razor edge against your thumb. You see a hat and a helmet here. Wear hat Wear helmet Continue into swamp It tells you the results of your action, then repeats the main part, but updated to reflect any changes. If you then pick "Wear helmet," it shows the action and main paragraph, but updated to reflect that change, etc., all in any order that you choose. This is a simple example, but I would like a system that allows for more complex interactions, that you can perform all in the same "room." Later on in the adventure, when you enter the dragon's lair, you get a page detailing the encounter: if you have the sword, you can attack the dragon, or else you get a paragraph about being powerless. The dragon attacks you, and if you have the helmet, it protects you; if you only have the hat, you get a sentence about it going up in flames before you die; and if you have neither, you just die. The concept is pretty simple, but I don't know how to code it cleanly in Javascript. I currently have each "page" contained in a hidden <div> tag with its own id. I put them in the body instead of as vars in the script because fiction has lots of single and double quotes which need escaped and make it hard to type and read (e.g., \"How\'re you doin\'?\" he asked.). I'd like to keep it that way, but maybe that's unrealistic. I have two placeholder divs in the body. OnLoad puts the first "page" of the adventure into placeholder2 using innerHTML. Clicking on a link in the text, like "Take sword," puts "You heft the sword..." into placeholder1 and refreshes the text of placeholder2. But I need that text to stop displaying the "Take sword" option if "haveSword" is now true, and not mention the sword in the room description... A different story that shows what I'm looking for, but is unfinished and unsustainably messy, can be found at http://taleofwayfinder.webs.com/red_0_2.html tl;dr How can I insert a paragraph using innerHTML (or whatever method) and have it evaluate what parts/options to display when it inserts? Hello everyone. I was wondering if anyone could help me come up with a script for fading text in and out then changing the text to something different when it fades back in again. I want to overlay a series of quotes on my website across the top and have them display for about 15 seconds then fade out to a new quote and have it cycle through them all indefinitely. I am pretty new to javascript and not much more experienced in html in general, so please be as thorough as possible. I'm a true noob Thanks!
Hi, I am wanting to insert text into a text area when a button or link is clicked. I know how to replace the whole lot in the text area, but I want it to insert text where the flashing cursor is in the text box. (Like Wikipedia) If any one can help, Then I will be very, very greatfull. Thank You. |
