I have a TextArea, textBox and a button. TextArea has some text e.g This is a cat.
Now my requirement is If someone set cursor position in TextArea and enter text in textbox and click on button the text should be append in cursor position instead of last. e.g.
TextArea: This is a cat.
Cursor position: after "a"
Entered Text in TextBox: black
Output: This is a black cat.
How can I do this using javascript.
Thanks in advance.
I've answered this before:
Inserting text at cursor in a textarea, with Javascript
One extra note is that IE will lose the caret position by the time a click event fires on a button. To get round this you can either use themousedown event instead, or make the button unselectable by adding an unselectable="on" attribute.
Using Google: How do I add text to a textarea at the cursor location using javascript
Copy the code from the above post (The one by Tim Down) and replace
insertTextAtCaret(textarea, "[INSERTED]");
with
var textBox = document.getElementById("your-textbox-name");
insertTextAtCaret(textarea, textbox.value);

So i have a text element on the canvas with fabricjs, when clicked on the text box some jquery fires and part of that code is supposed to push the cursor focus to a textarea while maintaining the active canvas object (the object stays selected just fine when i click into the textarea).
The problem is that the focus isn't being put to the textarea.
So if we have textarea with id "editing-box" and run something like this:
fabric.on('object:selected',function(e){
// set textbox to edit mode here
// focus on textbox
if(the object is textbox){
$('#editing-box').focus();
}
});
The fabric textbox goes into editing fine but the texarea doesn't take the focus for the typing.
Could anyone tell how to select portion of text in textarea and copy it to clipboard by using javascript? I know how to select all text in textarea and copy it? My question is that when we use mouse to select part of text in textarea, how to copy it to clipboard.
How about this
(on)select save the start and end position of the selection to the input element itself.
event.target.lastSelection = { start:startpos, end:endpos};
and use the (on)blur event to do something like
event.target.setSelectionRange( event.target.lastSelection.start, event.target.lastSelection.end )?
I have a textarea in which text pieces (stored on each data-code attribute) are appended when clicking on an specific DIV:
$(document).on('click', '.extrasPanel .contentVars div', function(e){
varCode = $('.active').attr('data-code');
varText=$(document).find('textarea').val();
$(document).find('textarea').val(varText+varCode);
checkCounter(e);
});
Once a .contenVars div is clicked, its data-code value is added to whatever is typed on textarea, and to keep typing the user must click again on the textarea.
I would like the user to keep typing after importing this pieces of text widthout needing to click back on it, so that the cursor remains on the last position, after the last imported character (as if you would have pasted it).
I have tried adding e.preventDefault; at the end of the function, with no possitive result.
If you're using jQuery, you can try .focus()
jQuery('textarea').focus();
May this link will helps you..
jquery-caret.js
This is a very simple lightweight plugin to allow you to move the caret (or cursor) position in an or element
$('textarea').caretToEnd();
I have a form panel with several text and text area fields and would like to copy (or move) the text from one field to another by dragging. (The fields itself should stay in place).
ExtJs provides the example, which does almost what I need: field-to-grid-dd.
The problem is that it is now not possible to enter the text into the draggable text field. I assume that's because the 'mousedown' event is intercepted by the Ext.dd.DragZone object, whose method getDragData() initiates the dragging if the mouse is clicked inside the draggable element.
It there a way to put the cursor inside the text field if the user just clicks it without dragging?
I tell you how to change the ExtJS Example file (field-to-grid-dd.js), then you can change your own app codes.
Go to line 148 and comment or remove the code below:
// i.unselectable();
Then go to line 164 and add the code below before (or after, it doesn't matter) e.stopEvent();:
t.focus(); // Add This
e.stopEvent();
Of course, you can not select the value of textfield with dragging the mouse, but it does what you want.
In a form I have a textbox which should have a currency value. I have a requirement to show the currency in the format 234,345,456 and if the user want to edit, then I need to show only the digits and not the coma inbetween the digits. So I written one function which will remove the coma and set its value with only digits. I am calling this function on onfocus event. Its perfectly working, but the only problem is when I traversed to that text box using tab key of the keyboard, then the blinking cursor doesn't appear, So the user is not understanding whether the focus is there in that text box or not. so how to show the blinking cursor onfocus.
If you are changing text it won't show the cursor, but you can change the background when textbox is focused through JavaScript like below:
box.style.backgroundColor = 'HighlightText';

Look into Dispatch Event on mdn.
