JavaScript - Inserting Text Based On Selection
I want to insert text to a textarea based on the selected text. It should insert tags like the buttons for posting on this form work. Ie: If 'bar' is selected, and I click 'b', then I get:
Code: Foo bar frog becomes: Code: Foo <b>bar</b> frog I found some code that works for firefox, but I need it to work in explorer as well. Do you have any ideas or examples how to do this? Here's the code I'm currently using. ( Works right in ff3. In IE7 it appends the tags at the end of the text. I want it to insert based on my selection. ) Usage: Code: <a onclick="insertTags('<b>', '</b>', document.forms.formpost.text);return false;" href="javascript:void(0);">[ Bold ]</a>
insert function: Code: <script type="text/javascript">
// Surrounds the selected text with text1 and text2.
function insertTags(text1, text2, textarea)
{
// Can a text range be created?
if (typeof(textarea.caretPos) != "undefined" && textarea.createTextRange)
{
var caretPos = textarea.caretPos, temp_length = caretPos.text.length;
caretPos.text = caretPos.text.charAt(caretPos.text.length - 1) == ' ' ? text1 + caretPos.text + text2 + ' ' : text1 + caretPos.text + text2;
if (temp_length == 0)
{
caretPos.moveStart("character", -text2.length);
caretPos.moveEnd("character", -text2.length);
caretPos.select();
}
else
textarea.focus(caretPos);
}
// Mozilla text range wrap.
else if (typeof(textarea.selectionStart) != "undefined")
{
var begin = textarea.value.substr(0, textarea.selectionStart);
var selection = textarea.value.substr(textarea.selectionStart, textarea.selectionEnd - textarea.selectionStart);
var end = textarea.value.substr(textarea.selectionEnd);
var newCursorPos = textarea.selectionStart;
var scrollPos = textarea.scrollTop;
textarea.value = begin + text1 + selection + text2 + end;
if (textarea.setSelectionRange)
{
if (selection.length == 0)
textarea.setSelectionRange(newCursorPos + text1.length, newCursorPos + text1.length);
else
textarea.setSelectionRange(newCursorPos, newCursorPos + text1.length + selection.length + text2.length);
textarea.focus();
}
textarea.scrollTop = scrollPos;
}
// Just put them on the end, then.
else
{
textarea.value += text1 + text2;
textarea.focus(textarea.value.length - 1);
}
}

Basically, I have a contact form on my website that offers 2 different types of contact: RSVP and Other. these two types are available in a selection box. What I want to happen is when the "RSVP" option is selected, the following options are displayed: "Yes/No" radio buttons "additional info" textarea And when the "Other" option is selected, the following option is displayed: "Message" text area How can i make this happen?! i've tried searching the internet but I can't get anything i find to work. I can't even get the elements to hide!

Hey everyone, I have a simple html form that asks a user to select a state from a drop down list. Later, in the same form, there's a question that needs to display an image of the state they previously selected from the drop down menu. How can I accomplish this using javaScript?
Hi, i am building a website form which I would like the user to select a product of interest. Some products are three tiered and some are two tiered. 1. Example of three tier (3 dropdowns required only): Scooters (dropdown 1) Three Wheel Scooters (dropdown 2) Delux 503S Bird Scooter (dropdown 3) 2. Example of two tier (2 dropdowns required only): Standing Bikes (dropdown 1) Children 300 Series (dropdown 2) If the user wants to submit their interest for one of the products, I need to have at most 3 dropdown menus. So in Example 1, I would have 3 dropdowns in my form. Dropdown 1: Scooters Dropdown 2: Three Wheel Scooters Dropdown 3: Delux 503S Bird Scooter In Example 2, I would only need to use the first 2 dropdown menus. (Obviously the first dropdown would contain 'Scooters' and 'Standing Bikes' in the menu list) The below code is perfect except, I would like to alter the code so that the second and third dropdowns are hidden until a selection from the first drop down is made. Once for example, 'Standing Bikes' is selected from the first dropdown menu, the second dropdown menu appears and the third remains hidden due to the fact that it is not required. If I selected Scooters from the first dropdown menu, the second dropdown would appear listing all items associated with this and at this point the third dropdown menu is hidden. If i select 'Three Wheel Scooter' from the second dropdown the third dropdown menu now appears listing all Three wheel Scooters such as 'Delux 503S Bird Scooter'. I hope this makes sense. Let me know if you require clarrification. Here is the code: Code: <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

Ok I am very very new to java to the point where I only know how to use pre-made javascripts in my php code so be gentle. First, here is part of a form I have: Code: <select name = "pulmonologist" >
<option selected="" value="">---Select---
<option value="none">None</option>
<?php
while ($row2 = mysql_fetch_assoc ($results2)) {
?><option value = "<?php echo $row2['staff_name'];?>"><?php echo $row2['staff_name'];?></option>
<?php }
?>
</select>
Ok now I want to echo the value that the user selects on the SAME page (i.e. before the submit button is pressed) (so I can't do it with php, I need javascript) like this: Code: <input type="submit" value = "Contact <?php echo $pulmonologist;?>" /> Can you tell me how to do this? Thanks! form is .asp scenario: I have 3 radio buttons above number of boxes (dropdown). I want the dropdown selection box greyed out on selecting Electronic (radio button) Physical (radio button) Image (radio button) Electronic (radio button) Number of Boxes [dropdown box] Thanks for your help I am new to coding. I have a registration form that I am working on in which I need to assign a price to each option in a selection box then write that price in the document. Then I have a radio button that will add (different amounts based on selection) to that price before it is written. Then I have another radio button that just needs to write a price based on its selection. Both of these values will be written and then totaled. (See below for a less confusing explanation) On HTML form: >drop down list (name courseName, value of selections 1,2,3,4) > radio button (name returnStudent, value of selections 1,2) > radio button (name bookNeeded, value of selections 1,2) Table (name totalprice) at the bottom of the form: price1: price of courseName plus returnStudent (td with name tuitionprice) price2: price of bookNeeded (td with name bookprice) Total of the above (td with name totalprice) This is what I am trying to make work... Code: var selectedCourse = document.onsiteRegistration.courseName.value;
var selectedStudent = document.onsiteRegistration.returnStudent.value;
function setTuition()
{
if (selectedCourse == "1" && selectedStudent =="1")
{
document.write("12345");
}
if (selectedCourse == "1" && selectedStudent =="2")
{
document.write("54321");
}
}
Then in my HTML I have simply put this to call the function and write it where I need it to be placed. <script>setTuition()</script> I am trying to find some examples of something like this but all I am coming up with is shopping carts and that is not what I need here. I am fairly confident that I can program the second part (totaling) if I can only get the selections to populate the different prices for me. If someone could point me in the right direction I would be very grateful! Hi, On a registration form I have 4 fields that are all dropdown select fields. NAME, CLASS-1, CLASS-2, CODE 1) I would like to activate the CLASS-1, CLASS-2, CODE fields only if the NAME IS Selected from the dropdown. 2) Also would like to make the CLASS-1, CLASS-2 as required fields if the NAME is selected from the dropdown. How can I achieve this? Can I use some kind of a server event to activate / deactivate the fields on the form? Please advice Thanks Vinny Dear all, background information: I did code a timesheet management system for my company with PHP where the user has to submit time entries and has an online form with several start and end times. The start and end times are all simple HTML select option dropdowns. I want that the first End time selection will be the next start time selection. Basically a simple dependency of the dropdown. My approach was that I want to solve this with JavaScript. In my php code I am echoing the following (in this select the end times are the values): echo "<select class='normal' name='$field_id' onChange=set_time_hour(this.value,'$field_id_js')>"; When the user changes then the end time dropdown the next field (next start time entry) should be changed accordingly. The javascript looks like this function set_time_hour(hour_value,next_field){ alert (hour_value); alert (next_field); document.getElementById(next_field).value = hour_value; } The alert calls are giving me the right values. but the document.getElementById(next_field).value = hour_value; is not working. What is wrong there? Do you have an idea? How can I change the value of a select box with Javascript? The select box values are already popoluated with PHP so I just want to select the right value. Codes for Dropdown menu based on radio buttons selection needed!? I need urgent help with this: I need codes for a dropdown menu that is altered by radio buttons. I want to insert the value selected from the dropdown menu into a table. How can I hide/disable the submit button if the name Todd is selected?

I am designing a form in coldfusion, and want some dynamic action to take place. My users will be offered 2 selections via radio buttons. Depending on which radio button they select, they will get a few more radio buttons to choose from. I have been told that this can be handled in javascript. So I am appealing to the javascript programmer nation for some assistance in this endeavor. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.

So I have created a simple Weather Forecast algorithm containing the JavaScript code that uses a prompt to allow a user to enter a temperature in degrees Celsius, and based on the degrees entered (temperature scale is below), the program will display one of the following messages based on the selection structure I have created: (Kindly find attached .txt file of my entire code, I wasn't able to upload an HTML file.) -18 degrees Celsius: "Bundle up! It's freezing out there!" -18 - 0 degrees Celsius: "Pretty cold with a chance of snow!" 15 degrees Celsius: "Don't forget your jacket. It's still chilly out!" 16 - 27 degrees Celsius: "Perfect, lovely weather... unless it rains." 28 - 35 degrees Celsius: "Nice and warn. Go for a swim." 35 degrees Celsius: "Really hot! Best to stay in air conditioning." HELP Now i want improve on the same program and let the user enter the degrees in either unit using a prompt to ask the user whether the entry is Celsius(C) or Fahrenheit (F) (F scale is below) and use the correct degree breakdown to display the same messages: Less than 0 degrees Fahrenheit: "Bundle up! It's freezing out there!" 0 - 32 degrees Fahrenheit: "Pretty cold with a chance of snow!" 33 - 59 degrees Fahrenheit: "Don't forget your jacket. It's still chilly out!" 60 - 80 degrees Fahrenheit: "Perfect, lovely weather... unless it rains." 81 - 95 degrees Fahrenheit: " Nice and warn. Go for a swim." Greater than 95 degrees Fahrenheit: " Really hot! Best to stay in air conditioning." I'd appreciate if anyone can help me with this.

Hi 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 I have 2 textareas, 1 which will be vissible, another that will be hidden. I have a function that mirrors (not in reversed lettering) the first textarea's input to the second. Code: function copy_data(val){
var messageText = document.getElementById(val.id).value
document.getElementById('message').innerHTML = messageText;
}
So that copies from : <textarea name="text_message" rows="4" id="text_message" style="direction:ltr;" onkeyup="copy_data(this)"></textarea><br/> To: <textarea name="message" rows="4" id="message" style="direction:ltr;"></textarea> Then I have another function which when I select text in the "text_message" textarea will apply a tag to it, however I don't want this tag to be vissible in the "text_message" textarea but rather in the "message" textarea. Code: function formatText(el,tag){
var selectedText = document.selection?document.selection.createRange().text:el.value.substring(el.selectionStart,el.selectionEnd);
if(selectedText!=''){
var newText=''+tag+''+selectedText+''+tag+'';
el.value=el.value.replace(selectedText,newText)
}
}
This effects from this checkbox: <input type="checkbox" id="bold1" name="bold1" onclick="formatText(message,'#28D')" checked="checked" > Could anyone please help me, I think I may have missed something somewhere, because it works if I point it back to "text_message" Is there anything out there that allows for a diagonal and vertical text capture in javascript or jQuery? I was not successful in finding anything. I have a game similar to word find that I've developed, but I need to be able to capture text vertically and diagonally. Otherwise, the only solution will be for me to do a by-click basis to capture items on the screen. I found the script below which handles horizontal capturing: Code: <script type="text/javascript">
document.body.style.cursor="url(3DArrow.cur), crosshair" ;

Kolich = {};
}
Kolich.Selector = {};
Kolich.Selector.getSelected = function(){
var t = '';
if (window.getSelection){
t = window.getSelection();
}
else if(document.getSelection){
t = document.getSelection();
}
else if(document.selection){
t = document.selection.createRange().text;
}
return t;
}
Kolich.Selector.mouseup = function(){
var st = Kolich.Selector.getSelected();
sel_text=st.replace(/\s/gi,"");
if(st!=''){
alert("You selected:\n"+sel_text);

Hi all, I made up a little test program to grab the mouse X and Y coordinates and plan to use it to allow users to resize a window. Anyway, the problem I'm having is that in MSIE-8, the mouse down and movement causes text to be selected (which I don't want). Here's is a screenshot from MSIE: And here is the test program live online: http://three-dog.homelinux.com/mouse/index.htm Notice that the text in the box is selected ... I don't want that to happen. Of course, it works just fine in Firefox, but not MSIE. I would appreciate if someone can tell me how to fix this (and if possible look at my code and see if I'm doing it right - I'm not very skilled at events yet). Thank you. -- Roger |
