How to have a textarea to keep scrolled to the bottom when updated

a 夏天 提交于 2019-11-26 16:24:16
问题 My problem is a bit off the cuff here, so I'll try to explain this best I can. I have a text area, having css of #object{overflow:hidden;resize:none;} . I am trying to prevent it from spawning scroll bar while also resizing itself. This textarea is synced with an external script's console meaning it updates. By default however, it will stay at the top unless you highlight text, dragging off to the bottom of the element. This would be the only way to scroll down other than with arrow keys,

Limiting number of lines in textarea

倖福魔咒の 提交于 2019-11-26 16:16:42
I'm looking for a javascript that can limit the number of lines (by line I mean some text ended by user pressing enter on the keyboard) the user is able to enter in textarea. I've found some solutions but they simply don't work or behave really weird. The best solution would be a jquery plugin that can do the work - something like CharLimit , but it should be able to limit text line count not character count. This might help (probably be best using jQuery, onDomReady and unobtrusively adding the keydown event to the textarea) but tested in IE7 and FF3: <html> <head><title>Test</title></head>

Understanding what goes on with textarea selection with JavaScript

隐身守侯 提交于 2019-11-26 15:16:45
I am working on an in-browser editor within a textarea . I have started looking for some information on dealing with textarea selection and found this jQuery plugin, fieldSelection that does some simple manipulation. However, it doesn't explain what's going on. I want to understand more on textarea selection in JavaScript, preferably with a description of both pre-DOM3 and post-DOM30 scenarios. Start with PPK's introduction to ranges . Mozilla developer connection has info on W3C selections . Microsoft have their system documented on MSDN . Some more tricks can be found in the answers here .

How remove word wrap from textarea?

≯℡__Kan透↙ 提交于 2019-11-26 15:11:23
my simple textarea doesn't show a horizontal bar when text overflows. It wraps text for a new line. So how do I remove wordwrap and display horizontal bar when text overflows? schnaader Textareas shouldn't wrap by default, but you can set wrap="soft" to explicitly disable wrap: <textarea name="nowrap" cols="30" rows="3" wrap="soft"></textarea> EDIT: The "wrap" attribute is not officially supported. I got it from the german SELFHTML page (an english source is here ) that says IE 4.0 and Netscape 2.0 support it. I also tested it in FF 3.0.7 where it works as supposed. Things have changed here,

I would like to create a simple function that adds text into a text area at the user's cursor position. It needs to be a clean function. Just the basics. I can figure out the rest. Raab function insertAtCursor(myField, myValue) { //IE support if (document.selection) { myField.focus(); sel = document.selection.createRange(); sel.text = myValue; } //MOZILLA and others else if (myField.selectionStart || myField.selectionStart == '0') { var startPos = myField.selectionStart; var endPos = myField.selectionEnd; myField.value = myField.value.substring(0, startPos) + myValue + myField.value.substring

set cursor to specific position on specific line in a textarea

问题 I am trying to somewhat duplicate the "autocorrect" functionality seen in programs like Microsoft Office's Outlook. For starters, anytime a user types "a " (the letter a and a space) at the beginning of a line I want to change that text to "*Agent [" I have written the below which works fine if you are typing along in the textarea from top to bottom. But if you type anywhere else in the textarea the text is changed then the cursor moves to the end of the textarea. I want the cursor to always
