JavaScript - Wrapping Text In Table Of Contents
I am building an e-learning lesson in Lectora that will be deployed to a SCROM compatible learning management system. The lesson is converted into HTML before that happens. My table of contents is around 100 pixels wide but some of the page names are longer than that and do not display fully when viewed in a browser.
What I am trying to do is this: The page name for this page is very, very long and I can't see it all. Blah blah Would become The page name for this page is very, very long and I can't see it all. Blah blah I've been led to believe there is javascript that will do that. Similar TutorialsHi all, I am working on code to wrap BBCodes around a user selection, then leave the selection selected for possibly adding more BBCodes around the same selection. My problem is that there seems to be several different ways to do it and I can't figure out which one is "the best". Now, I can't use the "standard" way of doing this because I am working with TinyMCE. I know there are countless examples on how to do this with textareas... that is NOT what I need. TinyMCE can give me a selection RANGE, a selection NODE or a selection OBJECT. Note that if I use TinyMCE's range, it internally "normalizes" the range to be a standard W3C range, regardless of browser. I've created a new range, extracted the selection from the user's range, created elements for the open and close BBCode, inserted the elements into the range and finally set the user's selection to the new range. Works fine. I also tried taking the selection node (which is an element), then simply used "innerHTML" to add the opening and closing tags, then set the node to the modified node. Works fine. I've also used the editor's built in "selection.getContent()" and "selection.setContent()" calls and THIS also works. I've even tried using the DOM "surroundContents()" function, then used a regex to change the < and > into [ and ]. Freaky... but that works too. So, my dilemma is... which method should I use??? To recap, here's what I want (blue represents selected text): This is a test sentence. (user selected some text) This [bbcode] is a test [/bbcode] sentence. (text is wrapped and remains selected). This [bbcode][newcode] is a test [/newcode][/bbcode] sentence. (user clicked another bbcode button). If no text is selected, then simply the open and close tags are inserted, with the cursor blinking in between them.... [bbcode] | [/bbcode] (pipe symbol represents the cursor) Any guidance will be greatly appreciated! -- Roger Hi, How I build a table based on a list under a <DIV></DIV> like this? printing: 1 and: 3 typesetting: 2 industry: 2 has: 2 been: 1 s: 1 standard: 1 ever: 1 since: 1 1500s: 1 when: 1 an: 1 unknown: 1 printer: 1 took: 1 a: 2 galley: 1 type: 3 scrambled: 1 Regards Bob Good morning! I am Brazilian, sorry if there is a clerical error because I used the Google translator. I'm having trouble recovering in JS content of the columns of a <TABLE>. I did many searches but found nothing that could help me. I appreciate any help. Thank you! Manoel Zancheta Hi all, Please forgive me if this is a dumb question. Is it possible to highlight the contents of all text and/or textareas within one form simultaneously? I've tried to do it using the funciton below, it cycles through allright, but only highlights each field whilst it is in focus, then loses it when it moves to the next field. 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. Code: <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function SelectText(){ var fields = document.getElementsByTagName("input"); for (var i = 0; i < fields.length; i++){ var node = fields[i]; if (node.getAttribute('type') == "text"){ node.focus(); node.select(); } } } </script> </head> <body> <form id="form1" action=""> <p></p> <input type="text" id="one" style="width:500px;"> <p></p> <input type="text" id="two" style="width:500px;"> <p></p> <input type="button" value="Select Text" onclick="javascript:SelectText();"> </form> </body> </html> Hello, I've been looking around the web for a simple JavaScript to solve this problem but can't seem to find something that would work both in IE and FF and the other major browsers? So basically I have a page listing about a dozen badges people can use to link back to me. I have presented the code for each badge (eg. a href, img src, alt...) in a separate textarea and I'd really love to add a link next to each textarea that would say something like "Click here to copy to Clipboard" then it would copy the text from within the corresponding textarea to the Clipboard so as to eliminate the need for Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C. Thank you in advance people! Hi I want to get javascript to show or hide a row in a table depending on whether a value is held by a variable collected in a mulitple part formmail. If only 1 adult fills in their name on the earlier form there is no need to show the row which asks him to agree to membership on a later form page. This is what Ive got so far Code: <form name="frm3" method="post" action="bookingscript.php"> <input type="hidden" name="adult2fn" value="$adult2name" /> <script Language="JavaScript"> var name1 = document.frm3.adult2fn.value; if(name1 =="") {alert("hello");document.getElementById("hidden_row").style.display = 'none';} else {alert("no way");document.getElementById("hidden_row").style.display = '';}; </script> <table border="1"> <tr> <td>Always visible</td> </tr> <tr id="hidden_row"> <td>Hide this</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Always visible</td> </tr> </table> </form> If $adult2name is blank then name1 is blank and the row does not show, else $adult2name contains a name, name1 is not blank and the row shows. I have tried displaying the hidden form field (by changing it to text), and adding my own content, also putting in my own values instead if $adult2name and the Alerts appear as appropriate, but the whole table disappears whilst the alert is on and reappears when the alert is OKed for either condition of the if. Same in Firefox and IE7 & 8 Could someone please tell me the error of my ways. Many thanks Richard Hey thanks in advance to anyone who can take a peak at my code and hopefully point me in the correct direction. I have been working on my final project in my javascript class for a bit, and there are a few erros I cant seem to find through firebug or error console. It is due this evening at midnight, so anyone that could help, I really need this assignment for a decent grade. Basically there are two issues so far, one needs to be solved so the other can be as well. First, line 103 - 105 should create a hyperlink to the specified id, but is doesn't return a number. so the link goes no where it is this code: PHP Code: //create hypertext link to the section heading var linkItem = document.createElement("a"); linkItem.innerHTML = n.innerHTML; linkItem.href = "#" + n.id; Next I belive there is a problem with the function expandCollapseDoc(), that might fix itself when the other problem is solved. The document should expand and collapse with the menu. Here is my javascript code: PHP Code: /* New Perspectives on JavaScript, 2nd Edition Tutorial 7 Tutorial Case Author: Mike Cleghorn Date: 2-15-10 Filename: toc.js Global Variables: sections An array contain the HTML elements used as section headings in the historic document Functions List: addEvent(object, evName, fnName, cap) Adds an event hander to object where evName is the name of the event, fnName is the function assigned to the event, and cap indicates whether event handler occurs during the capture phase (true) or bubbling phase (false) makeTOC() Generate a table of contents as a nested list for the contents of the "doc" element within the current Web page.

Any questions just ask! Hi all, What I am trying to achieve. I have a php page that has a button on it when clicked shows a div (previously hidden) in the middle of the page this div contains a table with rows. Each row has an image acting as a button and a series of fields that are populated from a database. One of the fields is a quantity box I want to be able to change the value in this box and click on the submit img and have it submit this info (including the altered quantity) back to the php page or to the submit function so that I can then access the values. I have absolutly no idea how to start this. I have very limited javascript experience. the submit looks something like (at the moment) Code: echo '<a href="#" onclick="javascript: document.getElementById(\'stockitemid\').value = '.$stockline->purchaseitemid.'; submitbutton(\'addLineFromStock\')" >'.$purchaseLineImg.'</a>'; and then I was trying to alert in the submit function something like: Code: alert(document.getElementById('stockitemid').value); my div td fields look like Code: <td> <input type="text" size="3" name="sid[<?php echo $stockline->purchaseitemid; ?>]" id="stockitemid<?php echo $count; ?>" value="<?php echo $stockline->purchaseitemid; ?>" /> </td> <td> <input type="text" size="3" name="stockqty[<?php echo $stockline->purchaseitemid; ?>]" id="stockquantity" value="<?php echo $stockline->quantitysupplied; ?>" /> </td> Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks Kate I am working on a project where I have 5 XML files that I bring into HTML and display the tables on one browser page. I would like for the row of the tables to change depending on what is in the "status" field.

Any help would really be appreciated and thanks in advance. I'm writing divs to a page that will be used to hold images of various sizes, so I'm setting the width to auto. However, some of the images will need captions, and with the auto width, the div is widening to accommodate the size of the text, rather than sizing to the image and wrapping the text. I could wait for the image to load and base the div width on imageobject.width, but waiting for a image.onload is screwing with the rest of my code. Rather than roto-rooting my code to make the image.onload work, I thought I'd ask if anyone had ideas on making a div auto-size to an image while constraining text in the same (or maybe a child?) div. Lemme know your thoughts! Thanks! ~gyz I have the following table row printing on a webpage PHP Code: echo "<tr><td id='counter1'>{$row['counter1']}</td><td><input type='button' name='counter1' onclick='submit();'</td></tr>"; While counter1 is 0, 0 is displayed in the cell. When the user clicks the button, the users username is written to a txt file and counter1 value is increased. What I'm trying to do is display the new counter value but as a link to the txt file like this <a href='path/to/txt/file.txt'>{$row['counter1']}</a> After creating the link, how do I put the link into the cell? Appreciate any help with this. Hello, I am trying to search for a string within a table and I am using "createTextRange" but all of the examples I can find use the path "document.body.createtextrange", which uses all of the page data to create the text range. I have tried using the element id but that doesn't seem to work. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you Hello now i found better way how to show it to you people. I finished one teail of this workd . Now the most important thing i need to do is > 1. Check this http://zr-gaming.ucoz.com/index/ban_lista/0-5 2. In place "Nick Igraca" __________ . When i type there something , that text shoudl go automaticly in table oben Example When i write "OMG" it should fill "OMG" Under "Nick Igraca" There you see Pred@t0R is allredy filled in , but i do it alone in codes . So i want when i fill the text and press submit it should go to real place automaticly , so it should be filled in . How can i do it ? I hear i need some script or something . I will give you Reward and Reputation points for help , its inportant for me , i need to finish it for 24 hours . Thank you very much guys . If you dont understand something just tell me . And very thanks to you who will try to help me . I currently have a table where the current cell (cursor hover) is highlighted along with the top cell in that column and first cell in row. I want to assign the values in these cells to input text fields. The first column cell is identified by Col1Cell[0] where Cell is the top table data cell of the current column. I can access the value of the cell by Col1Cell[0].innerHTML But when I try to assign this value to a text field nothing happens. I have Code: document.getElementById("tableID").fieldID.value = Col1Cell[0].innerHTML Any ideas? Hello All, I'm working on a project which requires a small portion from a large table of information to be displayed on a webpage (sort of like a magnifying glass). The display will be a table of fixed size (m by n cells). Some of the cells will be merged. When the table updates, different sets of cells may be merged. It needs to be coded in HTML5, which I assume includes the use of JavaScript and CSS (The specs of this is rather unclear at the moment, so I'm going to cover all bases). Anyhow, looking through the HTML5 and JavaScript tutorials, I found two ways to solve this problem. One way would be to have a script to parse out the relevant information, and have it output into a table (dynamically generating the HTML required). The second way would be to have the script draw the table on its own in a canvas. User events (such as arrow keys on the keyboard) will change the position of the focus (move the magnifying glass in a cardinal direction). I hit a small snag with the first solution - Is it possible to update the table on the page (including changing the structure of it) without having to refresh? If you could point me to a relevant tutorial or example on the web, I'd greatly appreciate it. Ok. I'm going to start by saying I'm a complete novice. I am having a hell of time finding specific codes for the things I need. I'm pretty impressive I've gotten this far. So I am trying to make a portfolio website, for myself, which has thumbnails on the left(which I'll crop in photoshop because it is easier for me than having to do any coding) which will make the main image on the right change. At the same time, I want it to change the text below to correspond to the current image. Now I have the images swapping alright, except that the thumbnails that have the onClick function in them won't sit inside the table I have inside the table. I don't understand why that happens. I can work around this, and just get rid of that table. Another problem is that even though I defined the collumns as each being 20%, they are not all the same size. I am using percentages so that the site will function regardless of screen resolution. Anyway, here is my current code. Ignore the image names, I'm just using what random images I have at hand while I test things out. Code: <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function swap(image) { document.getElementById("main").src = image.href; } </script> </head> <body> <table width="80%" align="center"> <tr><td colspan="5">I'll put a header image here.</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="20%"><center>Print</center></td> <td width="20%"><center>Motion</center></td> <td width="20%"><center>Photo</center></td> <td width="20%"><center>Misc</center></td> <td width="20%"><center>Resume</center></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><table align="left"> <td colspan="100%">Catagory 1 </td> <tr> <a href="mario.jpg" onClick="swap(this); return false;"><img src="../Jpg/sluticon.jpg"></a> <a href="../Jpg/cattits.jpg" onClick="swap(this); return false;"><img src="../Jpg/sluticon.jpg"></a> <a href="bowie.jpg" onClick="swap(this); return false;"><img src="../Jpg/sluticon.jpg"></a> </tr> <td colspan="100%">Catagory 2 </td> <tr> <td><img src="../Jpg/sluticon.jpg" /></td> <td><img src="../Jpg/sluticon.jpg" /></td> </tr> </table></td> <td colspan="3"> <img id="main" src="bowie.jpg" width="400"> </td> </tr><td colspan="5"> <p>Description goes here</p></td> <tr> </tr> </table> </body> </html> Hi, I have a php script that displays database data in a web table.

Capturing the tags for re-insertion, done. Getting the start point of the tag, done.

Thanks, Hi I need to produce some code to get the contents of the particular TD I am running a function in. I have the following code which works fine up the point of wanting to delete a row. In order to make it work again I have to go into the code and adjust all the numbers in the functions (not sure that's the correct terminology) Code: <head> <script language='javascript'> exchRate = '1.12'; function gettheUKP(which) { // This is the line I think I need to change var x = document.getElementsByTagName("span")[which].innerHTML; var s = Math.round(x / exchRate); document.write('(£' + s + ')') } </script> </head> <body> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" class="charges"> <tr> <td><strong><span>368</span>€</strong> <script type="text/javascript">gettheUKP(0);</script></td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong><span>471</span>€</strong> <script type="text/javascript">gettheUKP(1);</script></td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong><span>598</span>€</strong> <script type="text/javascript">gettheUKP(2);</script></td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong><span>720</span>€</strong> <script type="text/javascript">gettheUKP(3);</script></td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong><span>998</span>€</strong> <script type="text/javascript">gettheUKP(4);</script></td> </tr> </table> </body> So in essence I think I need to change the highlighted line to say "get the contents on the span within this TD". Is this possible? Thanks Hey. I have been pulling out my hair trying to do this. I am printing out the contents of a DIV tag but it does not print the css with it. Just the basic text For example: .testDiv { border: 1px solid #0F0; margin-right: 300px; text-decoration: underline; font-weight: bold; } The print does not change the text according to the css. Why is this? Thanks in advance for any help. Marc |
