JavaScript - Add Html Tags To Text Area

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.

So I'm working with a code that I can't seem to get the translation to show up in the text area. The user is supposed to enter text in a text area on the left hand side, hit the translation button, and the translation will appear like a sentence in the right hand text area. I don't seem to be able to get anything to show up in the right hand text area........ I know that i'ts probably something very simple that I am not seeing because at this point I am brain dead.

Code:

phrases = [["hello","ahoy"],["pardon me","aaarrgghh"],["excuse me","aarrr"],
		["hows it going","hows it goin"],["sir","matey"],["madam","proud beauty"],
		["woman","beauty"],["children","sprogs"],["where is","whar be"],
		["can you help me find","know ye"],
		["is that","be that"],["how far is it to?","how many leagues to"],
		["the","th'"],["my","me"],["your","yer"],["there","thar"],
		["outstanding","outstandin"],["attractive","attractive"],["happy","horny"],
		["dead","went t' Davy Jones' locker"],["restroom","head"],["restaurant","galley"],
		["hotel","fleabag inn"],["pub","pub"],["I would like to","I be needin' t"],
		["I desire","I desire"],["I wish I knew how to","I'm a hankerin' t"],
   		["my mother told me to","MeAhoy! ol' mum, bless her black soul, always tol' me t"],
		["have a great dinner","have a great what crawled out o' t' bung hole"],
		["have a cocktail","swill a pint or two o' grog"],["fall on the ground","fall on t' ground"],
    	   	["get drunk","get splice t' mainbrace"]];
    		    
   		    
    		    
   	            

	function Translate(text)
	{
	  for(var i = 0; i < phrases.length; i++)
	   {
		var toReplace = new RegExp("\\b"+ phrases[i][0]+"\\b", "i");

		var index = text.search(toReplace);
		while(index != -1)
		  {
		    text = text.replace(toReplace, phrases[i][1]);
		    index = text.search(toReplace);
		  }
		
	   }

		return text;
		
	}

Code:

<div>
	
	<textarea id="first_text" style="float:left" id="task_list" rows="20" cols="53"></textarea>
	<button  id="translated" width="50px" heigth="100px" ><img src="pirate2.gif" />Translation----></button>
	<textarea id="second_text" style="float:right" id="task_list" rows="20" cols="53"></textarea>
	</div>

Hello im trying to update a text area value with edited code with javascript, i dont know how to and im asking if you guys know

I'll admit I'm new to javascript, so my apologies if this looks like crap.

I have a need to display, edit and save the contents of a text area to a text file or what ever is best suited, directly to the website root or folder within the root of the site. Is there anyway this can be done with out database software? As I dont have the option to install mysql or any other software to the webserver. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thx


Just a little backround: The webserver is acually an open source linux firewall which i was able to edit the apache config file to host a second site. I just want the ability to store edit and display some network information within a very small site I made without the use of a database. Is this even possible?

Need help with my text box. I want to make it so if i have several text boxes only one number can be entered once. So if i type the number 15 in the first text box and type 15 in the second text box an error will occur saying you cant enter the same number twice. Any idea how to do this?


Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<script>
function checkForInvalid(obj) {
	obj.value = obj.value.replace(/[^0-9\-]|(-{2,})/gi, (RegExp.$1.indexOf("-") > -1) ? "-" : "");
}

</script>
</head>

<body>
<form name="myForm">
<input type="text" name="one" onkeyup="checkForInvalid(this)">
<br>
<input type="text" name="two" onkeyup="checkForInvalid(this)">
<br>
<input type="text" name="three" onkeyup="checkForInvalid(this)">
</form>
</body>
</html>

Hi,
I am not sure if what I am trying to do can be done, but basically I want to add/edit/delete information in a text area from inputs.

I know how to add from inputs to text area but I am struggling with the edit and delete.

Code:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function addtext() {
	var newtext = document.AddProduct.extran.value + ":" + document.AddProduct.extrav.value + "|";
	var newfields = document.AddProduct.extran.value + ":" + document.AddProduct.extrav.value + "|";
	document.AddProduct.extraf.value += newtext;
	document.getElementById("fields") += newfields
	
	
}
function removetext()
{
	var re = new regExp("(^|,)\\s?user3","gi");
	document.getElementById('extraf').innerHTML = document.getElementById('extraf').innerHTML.replace(re,"");
}
</script>
</head>

<body>
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="process-forms.php" name="AddProduct" class="admin_form">

        <dl>
        	<dt><label for="Addfield">Custom Field(s) :</label></dt>
            <dd>Name: <input size="10px" type="text" name="extran" id="extran" value=""> Value:<input size="10px" type="text" name="extrav" id="extrav" value=""></dd>
        </dl>
        <dl>
	        <dt>blej</dt>
	        <dd><textarea name="extraf"></textarea>
			<input type="button" value="Add New Text" onClick="addtext(AddProduct);"><br/>
            <input type="button" value="Remove Text" onClick="removetext();">
			</dd>
        </dl>
        <div name="fields" id="fields">here</div>
        </form>

Currently if you click add, it adds the 2 input fields in to the text area separated by : and then ended by | so I can determine new lines, the first input will be "name" the second will be the "value".

What I would like to do is be able to edit and delete these from the text area if possible?

Hope some one can point me in the right direction?

Thanks

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!

hello

im attempting to display the output of the radio selection into the textbox.
For example, if the user selects 0-15 then display "Your age group is 0-15 years" in the text area.

i get the basic logic. i just dont understand how to display the value in the textbox. heres what i have so far if it will clarify my issue.

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>lab 8</title>
<script language="javascript">
function textbox()
{
var i;
for(i = 0; i < form1.agegroup.length; i++)
      {
  
         if (form1.agegroup[i].checked)
		     alert("you picked " + form1.agegroup[i].value);
      }
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
 What is your age group?<br>
 <form name="form1">
	 <input type="radio" name="agegroup" value="0-15" checked>0-15<br>
	 <input type="radio" name="agegroup" value="16 to 20">16 to 20<br>
	 <input type="radio" name="agegroup" value="21 to 25">21 to 25<br>
	 <input type="radio" name="agegroup" value="26 to 35">26 to 3<br>
	 <input type="radio" name="agegroup" value="36 and up">36 and up<br>
	 <input type="button" value="submit" onclick="textbox();">
	 
<form name="form2"><textarea rows ="2">

</textarea>
</body>
</html>

btw i know the alert part is wrong. its there because im taking the code i previously had and changing it to display in a textbox instead of an alert.

thanks

Hey there everybody,

Seems I need help again. Still trying to learn the ways of the javascript.

So here is my dilemma:
I have a text field and some buttons below it. When I click on the button it insert the text for it into the text field. However, in order for that text to display in the text field a second time in a row I have to click on the text field and then click on the button again.

What I would like to be able to do is to click on the button several times in a row so that it inserts the text again and again without having to click on the text field to reselect it. What's wrong with this script that is causing it to work that way? What can I do to fix it?

By the way, I will be coupling this code with a popup code. The popup code, which works perfectly fine, has buttons in it as well and insert that text into the main window text area repeatedly. I just need some buttons on my main window that do the same thing. I hope the explanation makes sense.

With all of this playing around, I know I'll get the hang of it eventually. I hope. . .

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Code:

<html>
<script type="text/javascript">
function insert(el,ins) {
window.lstText={};
    if (el.setSelectionRange){
        el.value = el.value.substring(0,el.selectionStart) + ins + el.value.substring(el.selectionStart,el.selectionEnd) + el.value.substring(el.selectionEnd,el.value.length);
    }
    else if (document.selection && document.selection.createRange) {
        el.focus();
        var range = document.selection.createRange();
        range.text = ins + range.text;
    }
}
</script>
<body>
<form>


<textarea rows="20" cols="100" name="txt1" onfocus="window.lstText=this;">
This is sample text, click anywhere in here then
choose on of the buttons above to see text inserted.
</textarea><br /><br />
<input type="button" value="Hi" onclick="insert(window.lstText,'Hi')">
<input type="button" value="Bye" onclick="insert(window.lstText,'Bye')">
<br />
</form>
</body>
</html>

Hi, I'm a student learning web design and having a problem with some javascript code, I'm validating a text area, i dont have a problem limiting how many characters can be typed in the textarea, but I cant get it to give an error if there is no text in the text area.
In the code below the validateMes() function is not working, the other functions work fine


Javascript code:
Code:

function validateLimit(fld){
	  
	  var error ="";
	  
	 
	  if(fld.value.length > 300){
		 error = "Cannot exceed 300 characters.\n"
		  fld.style.background = 'Yellow';
	  
	  }else{
		  fld.style.background = 'White';  
		  
	  }
	  return error;
  }
  
  
  function validateMes(fld) {  //this function not working
    var error = "";
 
    if (fld.value.length == 0) {
        fld.style.background = 'Yellow'; 
        error = "The Message field has not been filled in.\n"
    } else {
        fld.style.background = 'White';
    }
    return error;  
}

 function validateFormOnSubmit(form1) {    //master validating function
var reason = "";

  reason += validateLimit(form1.mess);
  
  reason += validateMes(form1.mess); 
      
  if (reason != "") {
    alert("Some fields need correction:\n" + reason);
    return false;
  }else{
alert("Message has been submitted");
  return true;
  
  }
}

Html form code:

Code:

<form name="form1" id="form1"  onsubmit="return validateFormOnSubmit(this)" >  
         
<div class="box">            
 <h1>CONTACT FORM :</h1>             
 <label>                
 <span>Full name</span>                
 <input type="text" class="input_text" name="name" id="name" value=""/>             
 </label>              
 <label>               
  <span>Email</span>                
  <input type="text" class="input_text" name="emailbox" id="emailbox" value=""/>             
  </label>              
  <label>                
   <span>Subject</span>                
    <input type="text" class="input_text" name="subject" id="subject" value=""/>            
     
     </label>             
     
     <label>                 
     <span>Message</span>                 
     <textarea class="message" name="mess" id="mess"  ></textarea>  <span>*Message limited to 300 characters</span>            
     
      <input type="submit" class="button" value="Submit Form" />           
        </label>                    
                      
        </div>     
        </form>

I can't see what I'm doing wrong, would really appreciate some help

Thanks
