Re: Add elements from one ListBox to another - Web Development Discussion Boards

I am trying to make copy a text feature by using Javascriot and I wrote a function for it::

function copyData(field)
{
field.focus();
field.select()
Copied = field.createTextRange();
Copied.execCommand("Copy");
}

But it works in IE only, I want to get it worked in Mozilla, Firefox and Netscape too. What changes should I make for that??

I've used setSelectionRange(start,end) instead of createTextRange(), it only selects the text from the range from 'start' to 'end' but doesn't copy it.

Kindly Suggest!!

Confused | :confused:

I had that problem myself. I have a time field and when i was clicking on Hour/minutes/second, i wanted the 2 representative digit to be selected depending on the position of the click.

My code obviouly didn't work on Firefox as usual Frown | :(

I found on the web the following code to solve the problem:

function insertAtCursor(myField, myValue) 
{ 
//IE support 
if (document.selection) 
{ 
myField.focus(); 
sel = document.selection.createRange(); 
sel.text = myValue; 
sel.moveStart(’character’, -myValue.length); 
sel.select(); 
} 

//MOZILLA/NETSCAPE support 
else if (myField.selectionStart || myField.selectionStart == ‘0′) 
{ 
var startPos = myField.selectionStart; 
var endPos = myField.selectionEnd; 
myField.value = 
myField.value.substring(0, startPos) 
+ myValue 
+ myField.value.substring(endPos, myField.value.length); 
myField.selectionStart = startPos; 
myField.selectionEnd = startPos + myValue.length; 
}

hi all,

has anybody an idea how can i customize the design of my media player?

and is there also an reference how can i controll the mediaplayer from javascript ?

greetings gigo

media player is not the most flexible utility to use when displaying interactive content. You would be better off using a flash client.

Hello all,

I have designed a dropdown menu with simple javascript code but actually when disabling the "javascript" property from IE, the menu doesn't work. instead i found this site: "http://www.redballoondays.com.au/" which has same dropdown and it works even if i disabled the javascript property from IE.

So can anyone help me in running me menu even if the javascript is disabled in IE.

Thank you

That website is using CSS rather than javascript for the menu (a much better way). Theres plenty of examples out there on how to do this (I think the dynamic drive site has a few)

what about this?? this is the script used by the website
but if you have examples for using css in dropdown menus, please mention one

Thank you

<![CDATA[//><!]]>

My bad, it does use CSS but it only works in Firefox, that script is for IE. I tried the site in IE with javascript turned off though and it didn't work. It is possible to use a pure CSS solution for both IE and Firefox, like I said search for it on google there are examples out there (bear in mind that a lot of them won't work in both!).

Heres one source for starters:

Hi Guys

I am supporting an ASP application, there is a form in this application which have more than 300 fields. Now sometime data fails at the time of submission. There are 6 screens and session variable are being used to save form data temporarily and move between the screens.

Is there any other way to handle such a huge form?

Please do reply ASAP

Thanks

Ajit Singh

A 300 field form is a usabillity nightmare. I'd break it up into multiple forms, perhaps as a wizard ?

True. It would for sure send chill waves down the spine for the user though. Big Grin | :-D

I made a test a while back on how many fields you could have in a form, and it showed that somewhere around 100 fields the browser started acting up. IIRC that was IE 5.0 on Windows 98, so newer browsers in newer operating sytems probably have a higher limit. Still, the limit is not very high, so it's quite possible that you have more fields in the form than the browser can handle.

The way to handle such a huge form is not to. Split it up in smaller forms.

Hello All

I need to send email using Binary SOAP. I used DIME but i realised that
it only send attachment by binary soap, though my requirement is that i
need to send attachment AND the enter email attributes(user's and receipient
email, message, subject line). can anyone tell me how can i have this done and
which technique to use for sending all these attributes using Binary SOAP.

BEST !!

Ankit Sharma

How about a step-by-step wizard or a popup window that manages the attachment like in http://www.rediffmail.com/[^]?

Thanks for the quick responce, Deepak but my problem is more of a backend thing.

I am trying to figure out what is causing the problem. Let me eleborate on the question
that might help you undestand the problem. According to my requirement here is what i am doing.
At the client end, i create a DIME attachment and then a webservice call to the server whete it is authenticated. There is a function which sends email. It has the following parameters:

Retrieve data (which is the sender and receipient's email addresses and message)
Retrieve attachment
Create email
Attach the attachment
Send email

"Attach the attachment" is where i am stuck. When i try to attach the attachment,it throws an exception that the obj ref is not set OR path incorrect. It just won't work !!

Any Clues !!

BEST !!

Ankit Sharma

alright, disregard..i have the answer. there is no way the WSE 2.0 and 3.0 can communicate.
I amstead found a library to send emails from SMTP which can send STREAM data. Smile | :)
