textarea

I'd like to be able to convert specific textareas on a page to be ACE editors. Does anyone have any pointers please? EDIT: I have the the editor.html file working with one textarea, but as soon as I add a second, the second isn't converted to an editor. EDIT 2: I decided to scrap the idea of having several, and instead open one up in a new window. My new predicament is that when I hide() and show() the textarea, the display goes awry. Any ideas? As far as I understood the idea of Ace, you shouldn't make a textarea an Ace editor itself. You should create an additional div and update textarea

I am doing a Chat Application using Java and Swing class for GUI. The ChatServer class will be the server receiving message from clients and echo back to all clients but I only intend to make the chat for 2 clients. The ChatClient class is both of the client. They display what was sent from the server on the Text Area. And send texts in the Text Field to the server. ChatClient Class package chatclient; import java.net.Socket; import java.io.BufferedReader; import java.io.DataInputStream; import java.io.DataOutputStream; import java.io.InputStreamReader; public class ChatClient extends javax

I have a JTextArea for which I have set word-wrap and wrap-style-word to true. I want to "pack" the JTextArea to the minimum possible height given a specified width. To do this, I'm planning calculating the height of the font using... Font font = jTextArea.getFont(); FontMetrics fontMetrics = jTextArea.getFontMetrics(font); int lineHeight = fontMetrics.getAscent() + fontMetrics.getDescent(); ...and then multiply this by the number of lines used in the JTextArea. The problem is that JTextArea.getLineCount() counts the number of line returns ignoring the wrapped lines. How do I count the number

I like Chrome's nifty textarea resize control. However, the one exception is that the textarea appears to have a hard min-height/min-width setting that's not changeable via custom css, even with !important qualifiers. textarea#myTextArea{min-height:0 !important;min-width:0 !important} Is it possible to override this via jQuery perhaps? These " min-height / min-width " rely on cols and rows attributes. Eg. if cols is missing or less than 1, its default value is 20, so the minimum width will be 20 characters width. (cf. http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/forms.html#the-textarea-element ) The fact you

Possible Duplicate: Javascript: Move caret to last character I have a standard textarea with some text in it. I'm looking for a way to have the cursor automatically be placed at the end of the existing text so a user can simply start typing to add more text. This should happen whenever the textarea becomes active such as when a user tabs into it. Any ideas?

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 was wondering if it is possible to find the exact location of the carret inside a textarea in pixels in relation to the entire page. For instance, if I have typed This is text into my text box, I would like to know the pixes from the top left of the screen to the carot. It would be in the form X: 200 Y: 100. This is so I can position a floating div. This needs to be done dynamically in javascript . Thanks guys This "raw code" works at least in IE. Using the code you can
