JavaScript - What The Highlight Code Do?
Referring to following link, I get no idea on what the highlight code do,
I would like to retrieve the web page using direct URL coding without using function. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any suggestions http://www.dailyfx.com.hk/calendar/index.html function setFilter(field, value){ var params = {}; params["type"] = "calendar"; params["date"] = "2011-12-06" $('#calTable').load("/inc/process.php", params, function(data){ $(this).html(gbBig5(data)); }); } Similar TutorialsThis 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. Hi, I have say 12 pics on a page, in 3 rows of 4. The rows of pics are there so that a choice can be made from each row and I'm using a function <script> var highlight_color = '#FF0033'; function toggle_highlight(id) { var images = document.getElementsByTagName('img'); for (var i = 0; i < images.length; i++) { var image = images[i]; image.style.borderColor = image.id == id ? highlight_color : 'white'; } } </script> to toggle a border colour change so that you can see what was chosen from each row. The function I have used is fine in that it works, but I can only choose one picture and have the border changed, then if I click on another row the first border that changed obviously changes back and the new selection is highlighted. I don't really know where to go from here. Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you.

I'm trying to find a way so when they click that link, it will not only jump up to the text box but highlights it as well. I then want the highlight color to fade back to normal. I've been searching around but I can't find something that will work. Any ideas? I've Googled this without success. I have a webpage with an iframe which is on my same server. My parent page is a form which posts to the iframe page. The iframe page is a shell script that is used to telnet to routers and process commands and display the commands and responses. I need to have a highlight text option on the parent page for what is displayed in the iframe. Is this possible to do this with Javascript and if so, can you share that with me? Hey guys, So, I am using the highlight.js library to highlight posted code. It is working fine, however in IE it centers everything within my <pre><code>...</code></pre> area. This is because my body has the attribute: text-align: center; This is specifically because IE doesn't respond to: margin: 0 auto. So, how could I go about fixing this? Here is the code.

Is it possible to highlight the contents of all text and/or textareas within one form simultaneously?

The result is that only the last text/textarea within the form is highlighted. My aim is to highlight all fields for subsequent spell checking. Any help would be appreciated.

When clicked, each one dynamically loads a new Flash movie via Javascript, within the same page. This works fine. However, what I would really like, is to have each menu item highlighted after it has been clicked, to show the user what is being shown. This could be the same image as is displayed in the active CSS state. Does anyone know how I can do this? Because each link is simply dynamically loading flash movies, and not going to a new html page, I can't simply add an ID element. Take a look at a basic example I've mocked up, and see the code below: CSS: Code: #navlist { font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:.8em; font-weight:bold; list-style:none; } #navlist a { display:block; width:155px; color:#fff; text-decoration:none; background:url(../images/tab.gif) no-repeat; padding-top: 7px; padding-right: 4px; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 10px; } #navlist a:hover { background-position:0 -29px; color: #1e5ebd; } #navlist a:active { background-position:0 -58px; color:#1e5ebd; } HTML: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <title>Test Page</title> <link href="css/guided-tour-box.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <script> function changeFlash(url){ var d=document; (d.all)? d.all("flashMov1").movie = url : d.embeds["flashMov2"].src = url; } </script> </head> <body> <!-- Tour Box Begins Here --> <div id="box"> <div id="titleBar"></div> <div id="content"> <div id="menu"> <ul id="navlist"> <li><a href="javascript: changeFlash('f1.swf')">Menu Item 1</a></li> <li><a href="javascript: changeFlash('f2.swf')">Menu Item 2</a></li> <li><a href="javascript: changeFlash('f3.swf')">Menu Item 3</a></li> </ul> </div> <div id="videoDisplay"> <object id=flashMov1 classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=10,0,0,0" width="233" height="156"> <param name="movie" value="sb-main.swf" /> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <param name="SCALE" value="exactfit" /> <embed src="sb-main.swf" width="233" height="156" name=flashMov2 quality=high type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" scale="exactfit"> </embed> </object> </div> </div> </div> <!-- Tour Box Ends Here --> </body> </html> Hi all I have created a single page horizontally scrolling website comprised of 5 sections with a fixed navigation bar in the top right of the screen at http://www.clickmunki.com and I am trying to figure out how to highlight the active section of the site in the nav bar as the user navigates through the site so that the user knows exactly which section of the site they are in. I assumed this would be a pretty basic thing to try and do but I have not been able to achieve it so far. I have tried a few different methods but no success as yet. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how best achieve this? Can I do it just using css or would i need some js?

Trying to have my navigation have an on click and selected state, but I am not able to do so with this code (website is: http://bit.ly/rgwsite ) Code: $('nav li a').click(function() { $(this).parent().addClass('on').siblings().removeClass('on'); }); nav li is as follows Code: <nav> <li class="highlt"> <a href="index.php" class="home"><span>Home</span></a> </li> The reason we need to use a jquery/javascript action to add the class to the navigation is because it doesn't refresh when a new page loads. For instance, when you're on the home page and click on the tab "Experience RGW", it only loads the content for that page below the header (within the "#ajax" div). Currently, none of these scripts are working. There is no reason they shouldn't... could there be something else causing the page not to recognize the jquery script and run it on-click? The main reason I ask is because I've tried to test the function and add an alert, but even that didn't work Hi, Here's the slideshow embed code: Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>Slideshow</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <style type="text/css"> #large {width:448px; height:336px; background:#000 url(http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-ugFamEhbqPo/Thc6hoArbwI/AAAAAAAAABA/PFeHcJhR4Xw/s800/image1.jpg) no-repeat center;} #thumbs {padding-top:12px; overflow:auto; white-space:nowrap; width:448px;} img {padding:1px; width:80px; height:60px;} img:hover {background:#00F;} </style> </head> <body> <div id="large"></div> <div id="thumbs"> <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-hUXeHq5OxEo/Thc7hFFv3gI/AAAAAAAAABQ/Yh7omR8iwzI/s800/thumb1.jpg" alt="" onclick="document.getElementById('large').style.backgroundImage='url(http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-ugFamEhbqPo/Thc6hoArbwI/AAAAAAAAABA/PFeHcJhR4Xw/s800/image1.jpg)';"> <img src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-JU5a-eDnOSg/Thc7g5UkwLI/AAAAAAAAABI/9aCyCMixWb4/s800/thumb2.jpg" alt="" onclick="document.getElementById('large').style.backgroundImage='url(http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-u5BHGxpr0rg/Thc6hLbDRKI/AAAAAAAAAA8/IvQWzJBvqjg/s800/image2.jpg)';"> <img src="http://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-TdbbNGFbDNk/Thc7g0IBSsI/AAAAAAAAABM/pxpntZaTVoQ/s800/thumb3.jpg" alt="" onclick="document.getElementById('large').style.backgroundImage='url(http://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-4AMWSfi8q7A/Thc6haUv1QI/AAAAAAAAABE/oRdTWawPi_c/s800/image3.jpg)';"> </div> </body> </html> I wonder how I can highlight the active thumbnail so its background remains blue until I click another one. I also like to avoid the inline JavaScript. Any feedback to improve the coding is appreciated! Best regards Mike 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? Thanks. I need to highlight rows in a dropdownlist. I need to do this inside a function. I have a textbox filled with the indexes of the rows which need to be highlighted - e.g. by changing the background colour to blue. This is my function: function HighlightSelection() { var myList = document.getElementById('dropdown'); var myString = document.getElementById('textbox').value; var listitem; if (myString.length>0){ var mySplitResult = myString.split(";"); var thisInx; for (i = 0; i < mySplitResult.length; i++) { thisInx = mySplitResult[i] listitem = myList.options[thisInx]; // listitem.style.color='red'; } } } the index (thisInx) is correct - but setting its color does not work. |
