Hi, ;D
is it possible in RB to get the selected text from a textarea?
it is for an easy editor , but the select part is missing...
I found an script in js that does that, but how to convert it to RB ? is the form method required ?
thanks a lot
<script language="JavaScript">
function display(txtarea){
var sl = (txtarea.value).substring(txtarea.selectionStart,
txtarea.selectionEnd);
prompt ("The place you have selected is:",sl);
}
</script>
<body bgcolor="white" onload="thisForm=document.frmKey;">
<form method="POST" action="art466.html" id="frmTest" name="frmKey">
<textarea name="entry" rows="10" cols="70">Dallas, got a soft machine.
Houston, too close to New Orleans.
New York's got the ways and means, but just won't let you be, oh no.</textarea>
<br />
Select your city, and click the place button below.<br />
<img onClick="display(thisForm.entry);" src="images/place.gif">
</form>
