textarea

I tested this code in Chrome and there seems to be a bug involving the newlines. I am reaching the maxlength before I actually use all the characters. var ta = document.getElementById('myText'); document.getElementById('max').innerHTML = ta.maxLength; setInterval(function() { document.getElementById('count').innerHTML = ta.value.length; }, 250); <textarea id="myText" maxlength="200" style="width:70%;height:130px"> Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s Type more words here... <

I tried the jquery-fieldselection plugin to get the selected text in textarea. It works fine in Firefox and Chrome, but not in Internet Explorer 7. I use the getSelection() method like this: textarea.getSelection(); When the text within the textarea is 12345 , and all this text is selected, Firefox and Chrome returns: start: 0 // Correct! end: 5 while Internet Explorer 7 returns: start: 5 // Why ?? end: 5 I'm looking for a cross browser solution using jQuery. Baz1nga just took a look a tthelibrary and it behaves differently for IE since it does not support some methods that the modern browsers

This question already has an answer here: How do I get the (x, y) pixel coordinates of the caret in text boxes? 3 answers I'm looking to get the X/Y coordinates of the caret within a textarea on key down. I've searched vigorously but without any luck whatsoever, it seems you can get the position, but not the on-screen X/Y coordinates. James The only viable way of doing this, AFAIK: Append the contents of the TEXTAREA to a DIV Append the DIV to the DOM Place a SPAN inside the DIV at the character offset of the caret . Take the offset of the SPAN ( $(span).offset() ...) and minus the offset of

On one of my websites I have created a form that collects the persons name, email and a description of their idea. I limited the characters of the description to 500 characters as I don't want to read a ton and I figured out how to have the text appear in the textarea before the user inputs what they want. Currently the user has to delete "Description of your idea" themselves but I want to add the placeholder class where it deletes what I have written in the textarea when they click the textarea I have looked on a few sites and couldn't figure out how to use it I placed it in my code, but

everyone. I need 2 absolutely positioned textarea elements to be placed one over the other. Here is my sample: <div> <textarea id="txt1" style="position:absolute; top:0; left:0;z-index:0;background:none;">some text</textarea> <textarea id="txt2" style="position:absolute; top:0; left:0;z-index:1;background:none;"></textarea> </div> I'm expecting txt1 to be under the txt2. That happens in FF and Chrome. But in IE (tested in 8 and 9) txt1 is clickable and becomes focus. Does anybody know, how to manage this? Thanks in advance! My Head Hurts Internet Explorer does not play well with "empty"

I don't want to turn off resizing completely, but the resize handles on textareas don't fit with the rest of the page style. Is there a way I can change how it looks, perhaps replacing it with an image of my own? There doesn't have to be backward compatibility for browsers that don't support HTML5. This is a tough one. There is no way of styling this specific control. Even if you force a different appearance under webkit you still get the damn resize handle: http://jsfiddle.net/qw73n/ You can, however, work around it and place a background image in the bottom left corner: http://jsfiddle.net

I'm not familiar with such attributes, can someone provide a simple demo? I need it to be done without any libraries. <script type="text/javascript"> function ShowSelectionInsideTextarea() { var textComponent = document.getElementById('mytextarea'); var selectedText; // IE version if (document.selection != undefined) { textComponent.focus(); var sel = document.selection.createRange(); selectedText = sel.text; } // Mozilla version else if (textComponent.selectionStart != undefined) { var startPos = textComponent.selectionStart; var endPos = textComponent.selectionEnd; selectedText =

1.1 DOM是一个树型结构 当你在HTML里写下如下的结构的时候，浏览器会把它解析成一棵DOM树： <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <title>HTML</title> </head> <body> <!-- Add your content here--> </body> </html> 　 On the left you see the HTML document in its tree form. And on the right you see the corresponding JavaScript object that represents the selected element on the left. For example, the selected <body> element highlighted in blue, is an element node and an instance of the HTMLBodyElement interface. 左侧你会看到HTML的DOM树结构，右侧你会看到相关的有哪些js对象我们可以操作，比如高亮的body元素就是HTMLBodyElement的实例对象。 What you should take away here is that html
