dadamssg Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 i found this snippet to insert text into a text box where the caret is currently textBox1.Text = textBox1.Text.Insert(textBox1.SelectionStart, "Test"); but i don't know where to put this to make it work? is it part of a javascript function? do i put part of it equal to an onclick event?

MadTechie Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Looking at the code I don't know, however try this <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function insertAtCaret(obj, text) { if(document.selection) { obj.focus(); var orig = obj.value.replace(/\r\n/g, "\n"); var range = document.selection.createRange(); if(range.parentElement() != obj) { return false; } range.text = text; var actual = tmp = obj.value.replace(/\r\n/g, "\n"); for(var diff = 0; diff < orig.length; diff++) { if(orig.charAt(diff) != actual.charAt(diff)) break; } for(var index = 0, start = 0; tmp.match(text) && (tmp = tmp.replace(text, "")) && index <= diff; index = start + text.length ) { start = actual.indexOf(text, index); } } else if(obj.selectionStart) { var start = obj.selectionStart; var end = obj.selectionEnd; obj.value = obj.value.substr(0, start) + text + obj.value.substr(end, obj.value.length); } if(start != null) { setCaretTo(obj, start + text.length); } else { obj.value += text; } } function setCaretTo(obj, pos) { if(obj.createTextRange) { var range = obj.createTextRange(); range.move('character', pos); range.select(); } else if(obj.selectionStart) { obj.focus(); obj.setSelectionRange(pos, pos); } } </script> </head> <body> <form name="form"> <input type="button" value="Insert text" onclick="insertAtCaret(this.form.text, this.form.string.value)"> <input type="text" name="string"><br /> <textarea name="text" cols="60" rows="10"></textarea> </form> </body> </html> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/169417-help-with-implementing-this-snippet/#findComment-893857 Share on other sites More sharing options...
