OK, I'm going to get a bad rep here for asking too many questions. I have some javascript that dynamically changes content on my page. This works just fine. My issue is that I need to be able to tag all text with 'class="CushyCms"' in order to allow access to the site owner for easy content changes. Here is the basic code for the script, there is more than just the one set but this will give you an idea of what I'm doing. I tried adding the class tag inside the innerHTML, but Cushy couldn't see it.
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function changeText(idElement) {
if(idElement==0){
document.getElementById('tagmain').innerHTML ='<class="cushycms">Default text to display on page load.';
document.getElementById('tagtext').innerHTML ='<class="cushycms">More default body text on page load.';
}
</script>
I am looking for a way to put these text fields in a hidden div and pull the textContent from there. This is an example of a section that works with Cushy
<h2 class="cushycms">Preventative Maintanence</h2>
I'm beginning to get the hang of javascript, though Java is my primary language. I want to be more rounded i my langauge skills so I am trying to leanr as much as I can. Thanks in advance for the help.
Cushy CMS requires an actual HTML in order to edit. You could use the following:
HTML
<p id="tagmain-replace" class="cushycms" style="display:none;"></p>
<p id="tagmain">Default Text</p>
JS
var newText = document.getElementById('tagmain-replace').innerText;
if( newText != ''){
document.getElementById('tagmain').innerText = newText;
}
I would suggest changing the IDs to better work with your project.

I'm turning here as a last resort. I've scoured google and I'm having troubles coming to a solution. I have a form with a textarea element that allows you to type html in the area and it will render the HTML markup live as you type if you have the preview mode active. Not too different from the way StackOverflow shows the preview below a new post.
However, I have recently discovered that my functionality has a vulnerability. All I got to do is type something like:
</textarea>
<script>alert("Hello World!");</script>
<textarea style="display: none;">
And not only does this run from within the textarea live, if you save the form and reload said data on a different page this code still executes within the textarea on said different page but unbeknownst to the user; to them all the see is a textarea (if there is no alert obviously).
I found this post; Live preview of textarea input with javascript html, and attempted to refactor my JS to the accepted answer there, because I noticed I couldn't write a script tag in the JSFiddle example, though maybe that's some JSFiddle blocking that behaviour, but I couldn't get it working within my JS file.
These few lines is what I use to live render HTML markup:
$(".main").on("keyup", "#actualTextArea", function () {
$('#previewTextArea').html($('#actualTextArea').val());
});
$(".main").on("keydown", "#actualTextArea", function () {
$('#previewTextArea').html($('#actualTextArea').val());
});
Is there a way this can be refactored so it's safe? My only idea at the moment is to wipe the live preview and use a toggle on/off and encode it, but I really think this is a cool feature and would like to keep it live instead of toggle. Is there a way to "live encode" it or escape certain tags or something?
In order to sanitise your text area preview simply replace all the < and > with their html character code equivalents:
function showPreview()
{
var value = $('#writer').val().trim();
value = value.replace("<", "<");
value = value.replace(">", ">");
$('#preview').html(value);
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<textarea id="writer" onInput="showPreview();">
</textarea>
<br/>
<hr/>
<div id="preview">
</div>
Edit: Actually, I think this solution is a little cleaner, and makes the below code unnecessary. In the velocity page all that is needed is to take advantage of the Spring framework. So I replace the textarea with this like so:
#springBindEscaped("myJavaObj.textAreaText" true)
<textarea id="actualTextArea" name="${status.expression}" class="myClass" rows="10" cols="120">$!status.value</textarea>
This paired with some backend Java validation and it ends up being a much cleaner solution.
But if you want a non-spring/ velocity solution, then this below works just fine
I cobbled together a quick fix as my main purpose is to eliminate the ability for others to execute scripts easily. It's not ideal, and I"m not claiming it to be the best answer, so if someone finds a better solution, please do share. I created a "sanitize" function like so:
function sanitize(text){
var sanitized = text.replace("<script>", "");
sanitized = sanitized.replace("</script>", "");
return sanitized;
}
Then the previous two event handlers now look like:
$(".main").on("keyup", "#actualTextArea", function () {
var textAreaMarkup = $('#actualTextArea').val();
var sanitizedMarkup = sanitize(textAreaMarkup );
$('#actualTextArea').val(sanitizedMarkup);
$('#previewTextArea').html(sanitizedMarkup);
});
// This one can remain unchanged and infact needs to be
// If it's the same as above it will wipe the text area
// on a highlight-backspace
$(".main").on("keydown", "#actualTextArea", function () {
$('#previewTextArea').html($('#actualTextArea').val());
});
Along with Java side sanitation to prevent anything harmful being stored in the DB, this serves my purpose, but I'm very open to a better solution if it exists.
Main Target :
To create a website that will have a live preview of an HTML/CSS code.
More specifically :
The HTML/CSS code will be editable form the user in some specific parts. So, the code in the live preview will not derive from text areas but from divs.
Image of what I am trying to do :
So, in my Previous Question I tried to find a way to make the live preview box work after getting the code from the black boxes. It did not work because the code was given in a div tag and not a textarea. I would like to add that the code in the div tags use xmp tags because some parts are editable from the user.
Now, I have replaced the divs with textarea tags but the EDIT function does not work.
Main Question :
How do I edit parts of a textarea text? Below, I made it work for a div tag but not a textarea. How can I make the following work for a textarea?
$('input#thebox1').keypress(function(e) {
console.log($(this).val());
if(e.which == 13 && $(this).val().length > 0) {
var c = $(this).val();
$('.popup1').removeClass().addClass(c).text(c);
}
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div>Replace Title Background Color: </div><input type="text" id='thebox1'>
<div id="copyTarget1" class="innerbox css">
<blockquote>
<pre>
<code>
.title
{
background: #<b class="popup1" style="color:#FF0000;">value </b>;
vertical-align: middle;
}
</code>
</pre>
</blockquote>
</div>

I thought about taking another approach to make your life easier using Ace (Cloud9 Editor). It is an awesome solution to get code editors for different languages. All built in JavaScript. It is quite easy to integrate. I just downloaded it to create the case you are trying to build.
You can find the example I have just made here: https://dubaloop.io/dev/html_css_js_editor/
Basically, you load the library for ace:
<script src="src-noconflict/ace.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
Then you create a "pre" container for your HTML, CSS, JavaScript editor:
<pre class="editor" id="editor_js">
function foo(items) {
alert('works');
}</pre>
You will be able to convert them into code editor by using the function:
var editor_js = ace.edit("editor_js");
editor_js.setTheme("ace/theme/monokai");
editor_js.session.setMode("ace/mode/javascript");
It will generate a nice code editor that can through error, warnings, etc. You also have different themes. It is very user friendly as you could see. In my example I just get the content of each code container and send it to an blank iframe that. In order to retrieve the content you can use:
editor_js.getValue();
Check the source code for example I sent you above. I also created .zip with the example here: https://dubaloop.io/dev/html_css_js_editor/example.zip
Have a look to see if this would work for you.
GitHub repo for ACE: https://github.com/ajaxorg/ace-builds
I hope it helps.
UPDATE:
I decided to update the response to replay to your last comment. A few things about it:
First, I updated the code in the link I sent you previously: https://dubaloop.io/dev/html_css_js_editor/
The idea was to check the guide to see how you can manipulate the input and adjust it to what you need. They have great manipulation options. This is the guide: https://ace.c9.io/#nav=howto&api=editor
I just made a short version of what you are trying to do: I am replacing the content for the <h1> in HTML editor, by entering it in a textfield input; similar to what you are trying to achieve. I set the html code editor as a readonly so you cant edit on it. Have a look and let me know.
Second, I created another example using your code. You can check it here: https://dubaloop.io/dev/html_css_js_editor/example.html
I noticed that the first problem you were having was related to how you were triggering the preview update ($('.innerbox').on("keyup"...)). There was not keyup event there. For now I set it on any input when you hit enter. The other big problem, and probably the main one you had was how you were accessing the iframes through jQuery. You need to use $('selector').contents().find('selector2'). Finally another problem was the you were retrieving the data getting the attribute value from your code wrapper. What you need to get is the actual content as flat text in order to avoid other html content. In order to do that you need to use .text() (Please check the updated GetHtml() and GetCss() functions).
I hope you can make it work from here. Still, I like option 1 :P
I hope it helps.
Good day! Newbie here. I just want to know if it's possible to change the whole content of an html using javascript? I got some codes here. (not mine but whoever did this, thank you so much!) I don't know where to put/insert all the codes of the new layout like when you click a button then the whole content will change. Thank you very much for helping me.
<script language="Javascript">
<!--
var newContent='<html><head><script language="Javascript">function Hi()</script></head><body onload="Hi();"><p id="p">hello</p></body></html>';
function ReplaceContent(NC) {
document.write(NC);
document.close();
}
function Hi() {
ReplaceContent(newContent);
}
-->
</script>
The easiest way to do this is with jQuery.
function insertHtml()
{
var newHtml = '<div><span>Hello World</span></div>';
$('body').html(newHtml);
}
Something like that will replace the entire contents of body with newHtml. You can also do this with pure javascript using the .innerHtml property but jQuery has many advantages.
EDIT: If you want to add something to the DOM rather than replacing the entire thing, use
$('body').append(newHtml)
instead. This will add the content to the end of the body. This is very often used for things like adding rows to a table.
Yes it is possible but this code is not valid unless you remove the comment tags however don't use the document.write() after page load unless you want to overwrite everything in page including the script
I can't understand why this inner html script isn't working. I posted the javascript on jsFiddle. You can see it here: http://jsfiddle.net/JyV73/1/
I have two versions of the link. In the first the rewrite link is within a popup that needs to be closed and another opened with the proper text within the textarea.
In the second, there is just a link on the page that when it is clicked should hopefully open the popup with the proper text within wht textarea.
The only problem is that it doesn't work for the second version because of I must close the popup. If I comment out that first document.getElementById(id).style.display = 'none' then the plain link works, so my first thought is to create two function. But since this javascript is part of a php template file that is included I think it would be simpler on the php code to just solve this using pure javascript.
I'm still learning javascript, and any help would be appreciated. I hope I was clear. Thank you so much.
HTML
open
<div id="popup" class="popup"> Rewrite
</div>
<div id="new" class="popup">
<textarea id="new-text"></textarea>
</div>
<!-- This is the stuff that doesnt work for some reason Rewrite
<div id="new" class="popup">
<textarea id="new-text"></textarea>
</div>
-->
The Javascript
function rewrite(id, text) {
document.getElementById(id).style.display = 'none';
document.getElementById('new-text').innerHTML = text;
}
I am not entirely clear on what you are trying to do here, but from the way I read your code you want to set the value of the text area to a specific value.
here is how you do that: http://jsfiddle.net/JyV73/9/
function rewrite(id, text) {
$('#new-text').val(text);
}
You're not using pop-ups, you're using modals, which means its' a div inside the page that toggles visibility. You can access information from those components whether they are visible or not, fyi.
Still, Im not entirely sure on what you're trying to do here.
I changed document.getElementById('new-text').innerHTML = text; to document.getElementById('new-text').value = text; because it's the value attribute of the text box which you want to set.
Also each element on the page with an ID needs to have a unique ID (it seems like you might have been trying to reuse IDs at one point but maybe I'm wrong!)
I still haven't worked out exactly what you're trying to achieve but those changes needed to be made no matter what.
This code is sufficient to achieve your second goal though: http://jsfiddle.net/JyV73/19/
I added an onClick attribute (onClick="rewrite('popup', 'blah')") to your "open" link to do the writing to the textbox. :)
What I want to do is pretty simple. Above my blog I want to have a text paragraph with an explanation of the site. However I do not want it to be at the top of every page on the site ONLY the index page. My host has a very restrictive format. I've already asked them for help and it isn't possible with their editor. I cannot edit all of the html but I can change some. Javascript seems to be allowed so I have been trying things like:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT" TYPE="TEXT/JAVASCRIPT">
<!--
if (url==http://mysiteaddress/index.html)
{document.write('Welcome to my site')}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
Taking out the if statement, it successfully writes 'Welcome to My site'. So I'm wondering what is wrong with the if statement. I've also tried adding an 'else' in order to see output on any page but have not had any luck.
I obviously don't know much yet so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
The url is available via location.href - not sure why you think url exists.
Besides that, mime types are lowercase and the language attribute is obsolete. So use <script type="text/javascript">.
Additionally it'd be better if you didn't use the infamous document.write but document.getElementById('someDiv').innerHTML = 'your html here';
Or get jQuery and simply write $('#someDiv').html('your html here');
Just to add, you can prepend an element to the body element like this:
var p = document.createElement("p");
p.innerHTML = "I am a paragraph";
document.body.insertBefore(p, document.body.firstChild);
You can try it here.
