JavaScript - Insert Predefined Text Into Active Text Area?
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? Similar TutorialsHi, 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. I have a WYSIWYG text area and I want to insert combo-box' value at current cursor location of the WYSIWYG text area. I have a simple textarea where the value is inserting on combo-box clicking. But when I do integrate both files, the functionality wont work. I have both scripting files..
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 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! hey im new to javascript and im working in this function , i can't get it work here is my code PHP Code: <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> function text(form1) { var j = document.form1.diary.value; j = j.italics(); document.form1.diary.value = j ; } </SCRIPT> whats the problem ? 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> HI to all I am new be and not able to resolve the issue when i tries to edit text area everything works fine for crome and ie but does not work for firefox in fire fox when i try to edit intially everythings works fine but if i click other feild in form and after that try to edit text area backspace key stuck up and does not work please help me ?? code which i am using is menitoned below function stopPropagation(e) { e = e||event; /* get IE event ( not passed ) */ e.stopPropagation? e.stopPropagation() : e.cancelBubble = true; } function checkShortcut(e) { stopPropagation(e); if({8:1,13:1}[e.keycode||e.which]) { if( x ) return true; return false; } } Yeah that was a loooong title. Hopefully it's clear enough Right now, my div changes opacity if it's moused over qua the following code: Code: style="opacity:0.3;filter:alpha(opacity=30)" onmouseover="this.style.opacity=1;this.filters.alpha.opacity=100" onmouseout="this.style.opacity=0.3;this.filters.alpha.opacity=30 but this isn't quite optimal, cause if the user mouses out, it changes back to fade, and the user can't quite see what he's entering. So I would like the div to have opacity=1 when one of the textfields in it is active and opacity=0 when it's not. Is there a way to do that? //deafdigit 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

Thanks Hi, I have a text area that I want to add simple html formatting buttons to. The user should be able to: - highlight text and click a 'bold' button - highlight text and click 'itallic' button - Add bulleted list - Link I've looked at a number of WYSIWYG javascript examples, but they seem to accept Microsoft Word formatting, which I dont want. Hi, i want to open a file in a text area, such that the user can either browse for a file and when selected it will open in a text box on the page, or the user can select a file from a list of active links on the page and this will open in the text area. I am new to java and dont know where to start on this, i have been browsing resources on the internet but have not found anything to get me started, would anybody be able to help? Thanks 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? I'll admit I'm new to javascript, so my apologies if this looks like crap. Code: Taken out due to fix I'm trying to get this javascript to return a level to this form field. Code: taken out, due to fix 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 ="";

error = "Cannot exceed 300 characters.\n"
fld.style.background = 'Yellow';
}else{
fld.style.background = 'White';

}
return error;
}
function validateFormOnSubmit(form1) { //master validating function
var reason = "";
reason += validateLimit(form1.mess);

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 udayanga0727@yahoo.comI need to a code to do the following. There is a Text Area that user can enter text. assume that user enter something and put a dot Following values should be populate in a drop down at the place where dot locate . -Hello -Hi _Test like when we get the string object using Net Beans IDE and when we put "Object." , drop down will be displayed with available methods for that particular object. idea is to build a editor using java script. can any one help me on this? 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>

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! |
