FirefoxRocks 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2007 I am working on a web "application" thing that allows you to click a button to add text to a textarea.Similar to this forum when you click the BOLD button and it puts in {b}{/b} with the square brackets. I want a similar function like that. Also, I want it to add wherever the cursor is, not at the end. And after adding the thing, the cursor should be in between the tag or whatever that was added.All the extra stuff are extra priorities. For now I would like to get something that inserts text on click.The thing I came up with is: <html><head><script type="text/javascript">function write() {document.form.textarea.value = "This is the stuff that goes into the textarea";}</script></head><body><textarea id="txt1">Hello world....This is a text area</textarea></body></html> I know that isn't right, so I need more help on this.

I view this kind of script in many sites and it is not difficult to code, so try this:<html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function mywrite() { form.txt1.focus(); form.txt1.value = "This is the stuff that goes into the textarea"; } </script> </head> <body> <form name="it"> <input onclick="mywrite()" type="button" value="add text" title="add text to text area"> <textarea id="txt1" name="txt1"></textarea> </form> </body> </html> As you can see, it is a basic and very simple version, for a start is enough Best regards, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

turbopowerdmaxsteel 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2008 text editor  Add Text To Textarea How can I write content of a variable in javascriptt that I have fetched from database through php  -reply by rajesh Thats not difficult at all. Just substitute the variable for the message. For example, if myVar is your variable containing the database result and you want it to be displayed in the textarea with the ID txt1. document.getElementById('txt1').value = myVar; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iGuest 3 Report post Posted March 5, 2008 Is there a way to control where the cursor is by means of moving it through a number of characters of the text inserted?There are ways, though I don't have time to write it up. You'll need to investigate createTextRange and SelectionStart, you'll need to use both to make it more compatible, so test for each object before using it.Cheers,MC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quatrux 4 Report post Posted March 26, 2012 I personally suggest just to learn and use jquery or some other javascript framework which makes things much much easier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
