Hi,
I have with javascript in a struts application. I am trying to insert a
text into a TextArea. Somehow document.selection.createRange().text
is not working. I am using IE6.0.29
Below is the code.
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function addToMessageText(sendText){
// alert("addToMessageText: "+ sendText);
var selectedText = document.selection.createRange().text;
alert("selectedText : "+ selectedText );
if (selectedText != ""){
document.selection.createRange().text = sendText ;
}
}
</script>
and calling the method from a button. Somehow
document.selection.createRange().text is not working.
<a class="linkButton" onclick="addToMessageText('%%FIRSTNAME')"
><bean:message key="label.firstname"/></a>
Any suggestions is appreciated.
Bharathi.
I suggest you ask on a Javascript-related list ;-)
Selection support is notoriously inconsistent between browsers. If you
need to support more than one browser (i.e. you're not developing
strictly for a controlled intranet environment), you'll be doing
yourself a big favour if you look into using a good Javascript
framework, such as Dojo, instead of trying to work around the browser
inconsistencies yourself.
