Style Javascript Textelement in CSS or Javascript itself - javascript

I have put a Javascript text element in an HTML div field and now I want the text color to be white. I also want to make a few other changes to the text. Now I wonder how I can style the text element or whether it can
is possible in this form.
(Translated into Google Translate, may contain errors)
This is my javascript code:
var bghtooltipin = document.getElementById('bgh-tooltipin1');
var bghtooltipout = document.getElementById('bgh-tooltipout1');
bghtooltipin.addEventListener('mouseover', bghtooltipinmouseOver);
bghtooltipin.addEventListener('mouseout', bghtooltipoutmouseOut);
function bghtooltipinmouseOver() {
bghtooltipout.innerHTML = 'Go to Login';
}
function bghtooltipoutmouseOut() {
bghtooltipout.innerHTML = ' ';
}

there are 2 ways, either use css classes or direct style manipulation
var bghtooltipin = document.getElementById('bgh-tooltipin1');
var bghtooltipout = document.getElementById('bgh-tooltipout1');
bghtooltipin.addEventListener('mouseover', bghtooltipinmouseOver);
bghtooltipin.addEventListener('mouseout', bghtooltipoutmouseOut);
function bghtooltipinmouseOver() {
bghtooltipout.innerHTML = 'Go to Login';
bghtooltipin.style.color = "white";
}
function bghtooltipoutmouseOut() {
bghtooltipout.innerHTML = ' ';
bghtooltipin.style.color = "black";
}
<div id="bgh-tooltipin1">Test 1</div>
<div id="bgh-tooltipout1"></div>

It looks like you want to change the text color when the user mouses over the button. CSS has a pseudo-class class that covers this usecase. Take a look at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/:hover

Thanks #Józef Podlecki now I would like to add a small transition to my text, so that the text when hovering after about 6 milliseconds. That would be my second change to the text.
Because I didn't manage that with the classic style element.

How to change the background colors of all <em> elements

I am trying to change the background colors of all italized text, instead of using a span on every single word through the paragraph.
It says <em> next to the italized text.
I have tried
$(".em").css({
"background-color":"#d9f9f9",
});
or/and tried this:
var elem=document.getElementByTagName(em)[1];
elem.style.backgroundColor='#d9f9f9';
See querySelectorAll:
Notices this method return an array, so we should loop it:
var emList = document.querySelectorAll('em');
[].forEach.call(emList , function(em) {
// do whatever
em.style.color = "red";
});
You could try the following:
const italics = document.querySelectorAll('em');
italics.forEach(italic => {
italic.style.backgroundColor = '#d9f9f9';
});
Your first suggestion says ".em" where it should say "em". Your seconds suggestion says em where it should say "em".

Content Editable Div, appending HTML causing issue. Every text typed after programatically appending HTML gets added to the last HTML tag

I am trying to make a content editable div that can be used to generate message templates for an app. Users can append placeholders for fields like names to a template by hitting a button. The placeholders can be removed by hitting an 'x' on them as well. Here's the working snippet.
var removePlaceholder = function(e){
e.parentNode.parentNode.removeChild(e.parentNode);
}
var appendPlaceHolder = function(field){
var e = document.getElementById("t");
e.innerHTML += ('<span class="tag">{'+field+'}<span onclick=removePlaceholder(this) class="remove">x</span></span>')
}
.tag {
background-color : blue;
color : white;
}
.remove {
color : red
}
<div id="t" contenteditable="true">Hello</div>
<button onclick=appendPlaceHolder("first_name")>Add first name</button>
The contenteditable part works just fine. But after I've added a placeholder using my appendPlaceHolder function, everything I type seem to get appended to the last inserted HTML element.
How can I prevent this. I have closed the tag properly. Is there any way to change this behaviour.
To recreate issue, run the snippet and hit the "Add First Name" Button, then continue typing in the area.
Update
Have added image to explain the situation
What you can do is add a space after the placeholder has been appended:
JavaScript
var removePlaceholder = function(e){
e.parentNode.parentNode.removeChild(e.parentNode);
}
var appendPlaceHolder = function(field){
var e = document.getElementById("t");
e.innerHTML += ('<span class="tag">{'+field+'}<span onclick=removePlaceholder(this) class="remove">x</span></span> ')
}
Note: The which has been added at the end of the span just creates a space.

I am trying to change the properties of a table cell with javascript and have found my suggestions but I can't seem to get them to work

I have a table where each row has 7 input columns. I want to disable the 3rd column of each row and change the text color to red.
function changeCells() {
var table = document.getElementById("tbl");
for (var i = 0; i < table.rows.length; i++) {
var tr = table.getElementsByTagName("tr")[i];
var td = tr.getElementsByTagName("td")[2];
td.style.color = 'red';
td.disabled = true;
}
}
I can change the background with:
td.style.backgroundColor = 'red';
but not the text color.
The input column is also not disabled. Not sure why this code doesn't work.
Without seeing the rest of the CSS and HTML, it's difficult to tell, but it sounds like you have other CSS setting the text color (assuming the background color changes works as you described). You can add the !important modifier via Javascript to test this for certain:
td.style.setProperty("color", "red", "important");
If it takes that, then something else wasn't letting you change the color. Ideally, you would instead add a class to the <td> element, and then you can control what it looks like via pure CSS.
In JS:
td.className = 'highlight-cell';
Then in CSS:
.highlight-cell {
color: red !important;
}
A td element cannot be disabled. You need to target the input element within it. Here is a working example of what you want: https://jsfiddle.net/0xk99dxr/
And the relevant code being added:
var inputElement = td.querySelector("input");
inputElement.style.color = 'red';
inputElement.disabled = true;
To change the text color inside every row of third column, use the following line of code in css file.
#tbl tr td:nth-child(3){color: red}
Table cells don't have a disabled property.

Adding and deleting a paragraph, displaying text briefly

After clicking on a specific place in an image map, the function add() should be run, a paragraph should be created, one should see "not available yet" in red for five seconds, and the paragraph should be deleted again.
function add() {
var x = document.createElement("P");
var t = document.createTextNode("This is a paragraph.");
x.appendChild(t);
document.body.appendChild(x);
setTimeout ( "del()", 5000 );
}
function del() {
removeChild() }
So there are a couple of things which are not correct.
1: how do you change the text to red? And to another font?
2: the del()function should remove the paragraph, but I don't know what to place there. Just removeChild(P) ? Wait... P isn't even a Child...
Could anyone help me with getting the desired result? (I mean, this: one should see 'not available yet' in red for five seconds, afterwards the paragraph should disappear.
to change the text to red using JavaScript:
para.style.fontFamily = 'Arial'
para.style.color = 'red'
to change the text to red using CSS:
CSS:
.mypara {
color: red;
font-family: Arial;
}
JS:
para.className = 'mypara'
to remove the paragraph:
var para = document.createElement("P");
function add() {
var t = document.createTextNode("This is a paragraph.");
para.appendChild(t);
document.body.appendChild(para);
setTimeout (del, 5000);
}
function del() {
para.parentNode.removeChild(para);
// or if you just need to empty the paragraph
// para.innerHTML = '';
}
To make that text red: There are two ways. Either you write:
x.style.color = '#ff0000';
Or you give it a class:
x.className = 'red_text'
... and define the style for that class in a stylesheet.
To remove the paragraph, just do the reverse of what you did to add it:
document.body.removeChild(x)
Take a look to this example.
1: how do you change the text to red? And to another font?
I suggest to use CSS for everything regarding style and simply assign the right class to the element. You can specify whatever you need. For example also use CSS for a fade in effect.
2: the del()function should remove the paragraph, but I don't know what to place there. Just removeChild(P) ?
I suggest to use a closure and pass parent and child in order to use parent.removeChild(child);. If you do not need nothing else you even could avoid to define another function.

How to highlight an editable word in dynamically generated text?

Intro
I am creating a content editor in which I want to add the functionality to choose a word which you would like to be highlighted while typing your content.
At this moment I achieved to search any word chosen in the #dynamicWord and then typed in #contentAreaContainer and give it a red border by adding em around the keyword and style the em trough CSS:
Part of the Code:
<div class="word">
Dynamic word to highlight: <input name="dynamic_word" id="dynamicWord" value="Enter word..">
</div>
<div id="contentAreaContainer" oninput="highlighter()">
<textarea id="contentArea"></textarea>
</div>
function highlighter()
{
var contentAreaContainer = document.getElementById('contentAreaContainer');
var dynamicWord = document.getElementById('dynamicWord').value;
wrapWord(contentAreaContainer, dynamicWord);
};
wrapWord() does:
function wrapWord(el, word)
{
var expr = new RegExp(word, "i");
var nodes = [].slice.call(el.childNodes, 0);
for (var i = 0; i < nodes.length; i++)
{
var node = nodes[i];
if (node.nodeType == 3) // textNode
{
var matches = node.nodeValue.match(expr);
if (matches)
{
var parts = node.nodeValue.split(expr);
for (var n = 0; n < parts.length; n++)
{
if (n)
{
var em = el.insertBefore(document.createElement("em"), node);
em.appendChild(document.createTextNode(matches[n - 1]));
}
if (parts[n])
{
el.insertBefore(document.createTextNode(parts[n]), node);
}
}
el.removeChild(node);
}
}
else
{
wrapWord(node, word);
}
}
}
em{border: 1px solid red;}
The problem:
Now at this moment every time on input in #contentAreaContainer the keyword chosen is highlighted a short period in the #contentAreaContainer, because highlighter() is triggered on input. But it should stay highlighted after finding it instead of only oninput.
I need oninput to search for the #dynamicWord value with wrapWord() while some one is typing;
Any time the #dynamicWord value was found it should permanently get an em
So how can I sort of 'save' the found keywords and permanently give them the element until the dynamic keyword gets edited?
Check the DEMO version
Solved:
Using setTimeout() instead of oninput I managed to make the highlight look constant. The change:
function highlighter()
{
var contentAreaContainer = document.getElementById('contentAreaContainer');
var mainKeyword = document.getElementById('main_keyword').value;
wrapWord(contentAreaContainer, mainKeyword);
repeater = setTimeout(highlighter, 0.1);
}
highlighter();
I removed oninput="highlighter()" from #contentAreaContainer.
You are trying to highlight words in a textarea. As far as I know a textarea does not support html elements inside. If you do it would simply display them as text.
Therefore you need to use an editable div. This is a normal div but if you add the attribute:
contentEditable="true"
the div acts like a textarea with the only difference it now process html elements. I also needed to change the onchange event into the onkeyup event. The editable div does not support onchange events so the highlight would not be triggered. The HTML for this div looks like:
<div contentEditable="true" id="contentArea">Test text with a word in it</div>
Here is the working code in a fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/Q6bGJ/ When you enter a new character in the textarea your keyword gets highlighted.
However there is still a problem left. You surround the keyword with an em element. This results in surrounding it on every keystroke. Now you end up width many em's around the keyword. How to solve this, I leave up to you as a challenge.
