JavaScript - Link To Input Text In Textarea
Hello there,
I am having trouble with a javascript snippet that adds text to a textarea when you click on the link. Problem is that when you regularly type into the textarea, the links no longer add text. Here is the links: Code: <a href="javascript:insertText('<b></b> ','textIns');" onClick="void(0)">Bold</a>
Here is the javascript Code: <script type="text/javascript">
function insertText(val,e) {
document.getElementById(e).innerHTML+=val;
}
</script>
Any ideas or suggestions? Similar TutorialsHi all, I am working with a php code that I am trying to edit a bit. The last part I am trying to change I cannot figure out. Essentially I want to change the "Login" submit button to just a text link that says "Login" instead. Quote: <form action="<?php echo JRoute::_( 'index.php', true, $params->get('usesecure')); ?>" method="post" name="login" id="form-login" > <?php echo $params->get('pretext'); ?> <input id="modlgn_username" type="text" name="username" class="inputbox" alt="username" size="15" value="<?php echo JText::_('Username') ?>" onclick="login.username.value='';" /> <input id="modlgn_passwd" type="password" name="passwd" class="inputbox" size="15" alt="password" value="<?php echo JText::_('Password') ?>" onclick="login.passwd.value='';" /> <?php if(JPluginHelper::isEnabled('system', 'remember')) : ?> <label for="modlgn_remember"><?php echo JText::_('Remember me') ?></label> <input id="modlgn_remember" type="checkbox" name="remember" class="inputbox" value="yes" alt="Remember Me" /> <?php endif; ?> <input type="submit" name="Submit" class="button" value="<?php echo JText::_('LOGIN') ?>" /> <?php I am hoping this is just a minor change. Would someone mind showing me what I have to do? Thanks very much. so I am creating a silly word ;irate word interpreter page, and I need some logic behind how to add text to a textarea each time I click on a button. Each time the user clicks on the button, the value is inserted into the text area. You should be able to click on multiple buttons to add to the last text that appears. Then I have a delete translation button when I want to clear the textarea field. A good example would be if the user clicks on the button with the value "sir", than "matey" will appear in the textarea. Now, if the user clicks on the button with the value "your", then "yer" will come up after matey. It's like creating a sentence on your own, and then deleting it when your done. Code: <body> <div id="page"> <div> <img style="float:left" src="slue.gif" width="205" height="190" alt=""> <div> <h1>Pirate Translator</h1> <p>Simply click on the buttons to translate words and/or phrases from English to pirate talk</p> </div> </div><br /> <hr /> <form name="pirate"> <div> <fieldset> <legend><b>Greetings:</b></legend> <input type="button" id="greeting" value="hello" /> <input type="button" id="greeting" value="pardon me" /> <input type="button" id="greeting" value="excuse me" /> <input type="button" id="greeting" value="" /> <input type="button" id="greeting" value="" /> <input type="button" id="greeting" value="" /> </fieldset> </div> <div> <fieldset> <legend><b>People:</b></legend> <input type="button" id="people" value="sir" /> <input type="button" id="people" value="madam" /> <input type="button" id="people" value="miss" /> <input type="button" id="people" value="stranger" /> <input type="button" id="people" value="officer" /> <input type="button" id="people" value="" /> <input type="button" id="people" value="" /> </fieldset> </div> <div> <fieldset> <legend><b>Questions:</b></legend> <input type="button" id="question" value="where is" /> <input type="button" id="question" value="can you help me" /> <input type="button" id="question" value="is that" /> <input type="button" id="question" value="how far is it to" /> <input type="button" id="question" value="" /> <input type="button" id="question" value="" /> <input type="button" id="question" value="" /> <input type="button" id="question" value="" /> </fieldset> </div> <div> <fieldset> <legend><b>Articles:</b></legend> <input type="button" id="article" value="the" /> <input type="button" id="article" value="my" /> <input type="button" id="article" value="your" /> <input type="button" id="article" value="" /> <input type="button" id="article" value="" /> <input type="button" id="article" value="" /> <input type="button" id="article" value="" /> </fieldset> </div> <div> <fieldset> <legend><b>Adjectives:</b></legend> <input type="button" id="adject" value="old" /> <input type="button" id="adject" value="attractiv" /> <input type="button" id="adject" value="happy" /> <input type="button" id="adject" value="" /> <input type="button" id="adject" value="" /> <input type="button" id="adject" value="" /> <input type="button" id="adject" value="" /> </fieldset> </div> <div> <fieldset> <legend><b>Places:</b></legend> <input type="button" id="places" value="restroom" /> <input type="button" id="places" value="restaurant" /> <input type="button" id="places" value="mall" /> <input type="button" id="places" value="hotel" /> <input type="button" id="places" value="pub" /> <input type="button" id="places" value="" /> <input type="button" id="places" value="" /> </fieldset> </div> <div> <fieldset> <legend><b>Desires:</b></legend> <input type="button" id="desire" value="I would like to" /> <input type="button" id="desire" value="I desire" /> <input type="button" id="desire" value="I wish I knew how to" /> <input type="button" id="desire" value="my mother told me to" /> <input type="button" id="desire" value="my campanion tells me to" /> <input type="button" id="desire" value="" /> <input type="button" id="desire" value="" /> </fieldset> </div> <div> <fieldset> <legend><b>Actions:</b></legend> <input type="button" id="action" value="find" /> <input type="button" id="action" value="take a nap" /> <input type="button" id="action" value="kill" /> <input type="button" id="action" value="hurt you" /> <input type="button" id="action" value="beat you up" /> <input type="button" id="action" value="go to the bathroom" /> <input type="button" id="action" value="" /> </fieldset> </div> <div> <p id="output"><textarea id="task_list" rows="5" cols="130"></textarea></p> <p id="output"><input type="button" id="" value="Delete Traslations" /></p> </div> </div> </form> <script src="js/translate.js"></script> </body> </html> Hi, I am a beginner to javascript , I wish to learn how to create a .txt in local machine and store the data input in the textarea with the current data & time updated too.

I have an idea for a little script.....I'm just stuck on one little part: When a user changes the value in a input or textarea box, I want it to change the value of a certain hidden input tag too. Here's what I have so far: function getNewValue(inputhidden, textinput) { var data = document.getElementById(inputhidden); var text = document.getElementById(textinput); data.value = text.value; } <input type= "text" name= "name" id= "name" onChange="getNewValue('detail', 'name')"> <input type= "hidden" name= "detail" id="detail" value= ""> However, this is not working and I'm not sure why Hi all can someone guide me (total JS newbie) on this presumably pretty easy task? I have a "parent" page with some text inputs in it (a form). This is what I am after: -when the user clicks a link it pops open a new window via JS - "child" (this is working). -in the "child" window there are also some text inputs (another form) (done). -when the user changes the value for 'testChild_textInput_4' in the child window, then I want it to automatically set this same value, to effectively overwrite, what is currently in 'testParent_textInput_2' in the parent window. Presumably this involves an onChange event, but it is also OK with me if the needful (the text input's value in the parent window being overwritten) happens upon the child window's form submit. If anyone can show me either trick, I would be thrilled! I set up a test page to make this all easy to talk about: http://www.yellow-turtle.com/testDumpMe_parent.html Please let me know! Thanks! -John I am thinking this should be fairly easy but yet I am not getting far. I want to have a form with a single text imput field for a zip code. Depending on which zip code the user enters will determine which url they will be sent to. If they enter a zip code which is not in the script, they would be sent to a default url. I am also assuming this can be accomplished with javascript. Any help is greatly appreciated. Hi, I am just a noob and this is my first go at javascript and html I am trying to figure out how to display info from an array in the <textarea>, I have tried a number of things nothings worked and I know it must be something simply but have tried a number of things I also have to clear the <textarea> after it displays the info mentioned above and I think I have that sorted but I also have to have the <textarea> display all signup info stored in the array when a user clicks on a button Here's the code Code: function show()
{
var myArray = new Array();
myArray[0] = document.getElementById('fullname').value; myArray[1] = document.getElementById('Address').value; myArray[2] = document.getElementById('Phone').value;
document.writeln('Thank you for signingup,' + ' ' + myArray[0] + '. Your details will be confirmed by E-mail to ' + myArray[2] );
document.writeln("<br>")
document.writeln('Details:')
document.writeln("<br>")
for (var i=0; i<myArray.length; i++)
{document.write(myArray[i] + "<br />"); }
}
Thanks I would like to ask is it posible to add text from a text file to a text area on a page.. Philp if you read this i am not asking for a javascript code i am asking wether or not it can be done. P.s if your a nice person like philp is not and you want to private message me if you have one How do I resize a textarea to a certain length for text without the scroll bar, it this possible with CSS or do I have to use jQuery?
End result: I want to have buttons along the top of a textarea which will be used to add tags around highlighted text / the text curser thingy. (Basically it will be an edit box like the I am using now to make this post). Problem at the moment: I want to reference the var to use in the function. e.g. Code: function addtext(id) {
var al = "<div style=\"text-align:left;\"></div>";
document.myform.outputtext.value += id;
}
"id" will be defined as "al" in the HTML onclick function, I want this to use "var al" where it says ".value += id;". HTML: Code: <form name="myform"> <textarea name="inputtext">Type Here</textarea><br /> <textarea name="outputtext"></textarea><br /> <input type="button" value="Add New Text" onClick="addtext(al);"> </form> If I do this: onClick="addtext('al'); Then "al" is just written in the output box as it is sending a string, correct? If I do this: onClick="addtext("al"); / onClick="addtext(al); Then nothing happens... Reason I want to do it: Well, because I want to have multiple var's instead of a load of functions... Problem 2 (To fix after first problem): I also want the var to add around the highlighted text, not after all of the text. Hey guys, I am wondering how to send text to a textarea when clicking on a link. Kinda like when clicking on a smiley or bbcode. I have a script, and it works, but only when the text to insert is on one line. Here is the code: Code: <script>
function sendtext(e, text) {
e.value += text
}
</script>
Code: <img onClick="sendtext(document.myform.mytextarea, ':)')" src="smiley.gif"> Now I want to use this little script to insert an e-mail template which I am getting from the database into my textarea. Only, it works when the template is on one line, I am using this for my php code, which works, so no need to worry about that: Code: <img onClick="sendtext(document.myform.mytextarea, '<? echo ("$row['mytemplate']"); ?>')" src="smiley.gif">
When the "$row['mytemplate'];" is as follows: Code: Hey, this works It works, but when it's as follows: Code: Hey, it does not work Then it doesn't. So whenever there's a linebreak, it does not work. My question is, can someone help me with this, or a similar script, so I can add a piece of text to my textarea which has linebreaks in it? I hope you understand what I'm asking Thanks in advance for the help. Hey guys, I have a question about sending text to a textarea. What I want is, if I click on a button, a text has to be sent to my textarea, which I obtain from my mysql database. This last thing I can do myself, but I do not know how to send the text to my textarea. I don't know nothing from AJAX yet, so I think it can be done with AJAX, but also with javascript I guess. Could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks! I need to clear the default value from a textarea when a user clicks on the textarea and then replace it if the user clicks away from the textarea without modifying it. I have managed to accomplish this with the textfields in my forms but I am struggling to get the textarea element to mimic this behavior. Here is the script I am using: Code: addEvent(window, 'load', init, false);
function init() {
var formInputs = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
for (var i = 0; i < formInputs.length; i++) {
var theInput = formInputs[i];
if (theInput.type == 'text' && theInput.className.match(/\binput\b/)) {
/* Add event handlers */
addEvent(theInput, 'focus', inputText, false);
addEvent(theInput, 'blur', replaceDefaultText, false);
/* Save the current value */
if (theInput.value != '') {
theInput.defaultText = theInput.value;
}
}
}
}
function inputText(e) {
var target = window.event ? window.event.srcElement : e ? e.target : null;
if (!target) return;
if (target.value == target.defaultText) {
target.value = '';
}
}
function replaceDefaultText(e) {
var target = window.event ? window.event.srcElement : e ? e.target : null;
if (!target) return;
if (target.value == '' && target.defaultText) {
target.value = target.defaultText;
}

How can I get the selected text of a textarea with JavaScript? example: Code: <form name="reportForm"> <textarea name="report"></textarea> <br /> <input type="button" onClick="GetSelectedText();" /> </form> Thanks IC hi all, I have a simple website with 2 Frames, In top frame I have a button that invokes CGI script and internally that CGI script prints info (text) into the bottom frame. Going further we want to print the output coming from CGI into a textarea object in bottom form. I have a function in my CGI script: But ends up printing multiple textarea objects in lower frame. We want to print each line of text into the same textarea object in lower frame. and at the end display a new button. How can we do this using javascript/CGI? I tried the following but not displaying anything. sub print_message { my($message1, $message2) = @_; my $final_message = $message1 . " " . $message2; print <<END_HTML; <html> <head> <form name="myform"> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"> <tr> <td><textarea name="outputtext" rows="10" cols="100"> $final_message </textarea> </td> </tr> </table> </form> <style> <!-- a{font-weight:bold;font-family:arial;text-decoration:underline;font-size:13px;} a:hover{font-weight:bold;font-family:arial;text-decoration:none;font-size:13px;} // --> </style> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <a href="main.html" rel="nofollow" target="bottom"></a> <title>CTS Debug Information</title> <style type="text/css"> img {border: none;} </style> </head> <body> </body> </html> END_HTML I created this function in javascript: <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> function addtext() { var newtext = document.myform.outputtext.value; var nextLineTextNode = document.createTextNode(newtext + "\r\n"); var logData = document.getElementById("outputtext"); logData.appendChild(nextLineTextNode); logData.scrollTop = logData.scrollHeight - logData.clientHeight; } </script> But when i implemented in my CGI nothing is printed. Thanks!!! I searched about this problem over Internet and found the same result many times, I found this example on stack overflow 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; so, have you any idea?
I have searched this forum for similar queries & have come up with this http://jsfiddle.net/defencedog/P33FR/ I don't know why this ain't working Hi, I am having trouble searching for text in a textarea in all browsers. I display formatted text in a textarea with tinyMCE editor. Some of the text contains blanks ('______') which the user needs to find and fill in (usually with a number). I have written a new button on the toolbar of the editor which will find and highlight the blank when clicked. The user will click the button, fill in the text, click the button, fill in the text, etc. In IE the blanks are highlighted just fine. The only problem is: user clicks button and first blank is highlighted. User fills in the text then clicks the button again. Second blank should be highlighted but it skips right to the third blank. If you don't fill anything in, the next blank will be highlighted. If you highlight and then fill anything in, the next blank is skipped and the following blank is highlighted. Any thoughts? But my worst problem is with Mozilla. I get an error. It does not act like setSelectionRange(pos, pos+len(str)) is a valid function call. I receive the following error: "component returned failure code: 0x800004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)[nsIDOMNSHTML TextareElement.setSelectionRange]" Here is my function: var win = window; var n = 0; var str = '______'; function FindBlanks() { var txt, i, found; win = tinyMCE.get('txtPolicy').getDoc(); if (str == "") return false; if (window.execScript) { txt = win.body.createTextRange(); //Find the nth match from the top of the page for (i = 0; i <= n && (found = txt.findText(str)) != false; i++) { txt.moveStart("character", 1); txt.moveEnd("textedit"); } // If found, mark it and scroll it into view if (found) { txt.moveStart("character", -1); txt.findText(str); txt.select(); txt.scrollIntoView(); // n = i--; n++; } //Otherwise, start over at the top of the page and find first match else { if (n > 0) { n = 0; alert("End of document has been reached."); } //Not found anywhere, give message. else alert("No blanks found."); } } else { //document.getElementById('txtPolicy').setFocus; var ht = '______'; if (ht.length == 0) { alert('highlightText has zero lenth'); return false; } var str2 = document.getElementById('txtPolicy').value; var startPos = str2.indexOf(ht); if (startPos == -1) { alert('No blanks found'); return false; } document.getElementById('txtPolicy').focus(); document.getElementById('txtPolicy').setSelectionRange(startPos, startPos + ht.length); return true; if (n == 0) alert ("No blanks found."); } return false; } Can anyone help me with this?
