At ANSI compatible terminals, printing the sequence ESC[6n will report the cursor position to the application as (as though typed at the keyboard) ESC[n;mR, where n is the row and m is the column. Example: ~$ echo -e “\033[6n” EDITED: You should make sure you are reading the keyboard input. The terminal will “type” just … Read more
This “raw code” works at least in IE. Using the code you can put your <TEXTAREA> where ever you want in page, and the <DIV id=”db”> will follow it. Even despite of the scrolling position of the page. You can fix the position of <DIV> by changing the literal numbers at d.style…6-statements. <body> <div id=”db” … Read more
I’ve updated your fiddle see: http://jsfiddle.net/eghpf/2/ I’ve added var currentPosition which is used in this method function setSelectionRange(input, selectionStart, selectionEnd) { if (input.setSelectionRange) { input.focus(); input.setSelectionRange(selectionStart, selectionEnd); } else if (input.createTextRange) { var range = input.createTextRange(); range.collapse(true); range.moveEnd(‘character’, selectionEnd); range.moveStart(‘character’, selectionStart); range.select(); } } Which comes from this jQuery Set Cursor Position in Text Area … Read more
It looks OK apart from the space in your ID attribute, which is not valid, and the fact that you’re replacing the value of your input before checking the selection. function textbox() { var ctl = document.getElementById(‘Javascript_example’); var startPos = ctl.selectionStart; var endPos = ctl.selectionEnd; alert(startPos + “, ” + endPos); } <input id=”Javascript_example” name=”one” … Read more
Sample I’ve changed how it works, and it seems to solve a few issues 🙂 Accepts any text a normal input can Backspace works Theoretically can support pasting text Usual caveats apply still, most notably the inability to visually see where the caret is. I’d think long and hard whether this solution is worth implementing, … Read more
No, there isn’t. IE has its TextRange objects to do the job. IE >= 9 and everything else for the last long time has selectionStart and selectionEnd properties on textareas and text inputs. This particular task isn’t too bad: the following will delete the current selection (if one exists), insert text at the caret and … Read more
None of these solutions worked for me because it’s too much code. I use a custom jQuery implementation to do the drag, and adding this line in the mousedown handler did the trick for me in Chrome. e.originalEvent.preventDefault();
Revised answer, 5 September 2010 To account for trailing line breaks is tricky in IE, and I haven’t seen any solution that does this. It is possible, however. The following is a new version of what I previously posted here. Note that the textarea must have focus for this function to work properly in IE. … Read more
